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.
