3. Main Design Features
-
Trunnion Mounted Ball Design: Ball is supported by upper and lower stem bearings. The thrust from line pressure is absorbed by the bearings, preventing the ball from moving against the seats. This ensures low torque operation and stable sealing performance, particularly suitable for high pressure and large bore applications
-
Double Block & Bleed (DBB) Capability: Double seat design provides sealing in both directions, no flow direction restriction, achieving bi-directional zero leakage
-
Spring-Loaded Seats: Seats are equipped with pre-loaded springs to ensure tight contact between seat and ball under low pressure conditions for reliable sealing
-
Body Construction: 3-piece bolted body design, center flange with bolted connection, facilitates in-line maintenance without removing the entire valve from the pipeline
-
Blow-Out Proof Stem: Stem designed with blow-out proof feature for safety
-
Anti-Static Device: Spring-loaded anti-static device between stem and ball ensures static electricity dissipation
-
Emergency Sealant Injection: Equipped with emergency sealant injection fittings on stem and seat areas for emergency sealing restoration
-
Body Cavity Pressure Relief: Automatic cavity pressure relief design, seats can move backward to release excess cavity pressure, protecting valve safety
-
Full Bore Design: Valve bore diameter matches pipeline internal diameter, facilitates pipeline pigging, minimal flow resistance
-
ISO 5211 Mounting Pad: Top flange conforms to ISO 5211 for easy actuator mounting
