1. Product Overview

This valve features a 2-piece bolted body construction with trunnion mounted ball design, where the ball is supported by top and bottom bearings, making it suitable for high-pressure differential and large bore applications. The body material is ASTM A105 Carbon Steel, the ball and stem are 316L Stainless Steel, and the seats are 316L+PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) composite. It is equipped with a single-acting pneumatic actuator (spring-return) specifically designed for ESD (Emergency Shutdown) service, automatically returning the valve to its preset fail-safe position (Fail-Close or Fail-Open) upon loss of air supply. Ideal for oil, gas, chemical, and other processes requiring high-reliability safety interlocking.

5. Main Technical Characteristics

  1. Trunnion Mounted Design: The ball is supported by top and bottom stem bearings, preventing ball movement under high differential pressure, ensuring low and stable operating torque.

  2. 2-Piece Body Construction: The body consists of two main parts bolted together, facilitating easy maintenance and replacement of internal components.

  3. Spring-Loaded Seats: Seats are equipped with springs providing initial pre-load, ensuring bi-directional zero leakage seal under both low and high pressure.

  4. PTFE Soft Seal: Seat inserts utilize PTFE material, forming a soft seal with the ball achieving bubble-tight sealing (API 598 Rate A), ideal for critical shut-off applications.

  5. Blow-Out Proof Stem: The stem is designed with a blow-out proof feature, ensuring it cannot be ejected by line pressure even under extreme conditions.

  6. Anti-Static Device: An anti-static spring is fitted between ball and stem to dissipate static charges, preventing fire hazards from static accumulation.

  7. Fire-Safe Design: Complies with API 607 / API 6FA fire-safe standards. In case the soft seat is destroyed by fire, the metal seat contacts the ball providing an emergency metal-to-metal seal.

  8. Automatic Cavity Pressure Relief: The seat design allows automatic pressure relief from the body cavity in case of thermal expansion, protecting the valve body.

  9. ESD Dedicated ActuatorSingle-acting pneumatic actuator automatically returns the valve to its preset fail-safe position (Fail-Closed or Fail-Open) upon loss of air supply or control signal, meeting safety interlock requirements of Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) .

8. ESD System Integration Notes

  • Fail-Safe Position: Based on process safety requirements, the actuator can be configured as Fail-Closed (FC) or Fail-Open (FO) upon loss of air supply.

  • Response Time: Quick exhaust valves and speed control valves can be provided to meet ESD system closing/opening time requirements.

  • Solenoid ValveLow-power solenoid valves (e.g., 1.8W) are recommended for direct interface with ESD safety PLCs.

9. Remarks

  • This valve is specifically designed for ESD Emergency Shutdown systems. The single-acting actuator ensures the valve automatically reaches the safe position upon loss of air supply.

  • The A105 body + 316L trim combination is suitable for moderately corrosive media such as natural gas, oil, and water.

  • PTFE seats have a maximum operating temperature of 180°C (356°F). For higher temperature applications, PEEK or metal-seated options should be considered.

  • Optional accessories include explosion-proof solenoid valve enclosures, positioners, and position transmitters to meet various control requirements.
