Trunnion Ball Valve Descripition
Trunnion mounted ball valve is designed with a "trunnion" that anchors the ball at top and bottom. This trunnion valve ball design offers several advantages. It ensures a positive seal on both the downstream and upstream seats, regardless of the pressure level. As a result,trunnion valve ball enables double block and bleed, or double Isolation and bleed functions.

Trunnion Ball Valve Advantage
These features make trunnion - designed mounted ball valve highly suitable for larger -bore and higher - pressure operations. Moreover, the trunnion design reduces the torque needed to operate the valve. This makes it an ideal choice for automated ball valve applications.
