5. KEY DESIGN FEATURES & FORGED BODY ADVANTAGES
Forged Body Advantages:
-
Superior Structural Integrity: The forging process eliminates internal porosity, shrinkage, and gas holes commonly found in castings, making it ideal for high-pressure and critical applications.
-
Homogeneous Grain Structure: Forging aligns the metal grain flow to match the principal stresses, resulting in higher tensile strength and toughness.
-
Enhanced Safety: Significantly reduced risk of leakage or catastrophic failure under thermal shock or severe cyclic loading.
Valve Design Features:
-
Trunnion Mounted Design: Upper and lower trunnion bearings fix the ball, drastically reducing operating torque at Class 600 pressures and ensuring stable sealing.
-
Double Block and Bleed (DBB): Independent seat sealing allows cavity pressure to be bled off to verify seat integrity.
-
Double Piston Effect (DIB): Optional Double Isolation and Bleed configuration available.
-
Fire-Safe Design: Certified to API 607/6FA, ensuring sealing integrity after exposure to fire.
-
Anti-Static Device: Ensures electrical continuity between ball, stem, and body.
-
Anti-Blowout Stem: Prevents stem ejection under pressure.
-
Emergency Sealant Injection: Fitted with sealant ports for emergency seat sealing.
-
Automatic Cavity Pressure Relief: Prevents over-pressurization of the body cavity.
