Trunnion ball valve is a high-performance industrial valve. Due to its unique design and excellent performance, it has been widely used in the oil and gas industry. It supports the ball through a trunnion, reducing friction and enhancing sealing performance. It is especially suitable for high-pressure and large-diameter pipeline systems.
Design features of trunnion ball valves.
The core design of trunnion ball valves lies in their trunnion support structure. The ball is fixed by trunnions at the top and bottom. This design not only reduces the friction between the ball and the valve seat but also significantly improves the sealing performance and pressure-bearing capacity of the valve. Compared with traditional floating ball valves, trunnion ball valves perform better under high-pressure and large-diameter working conditions.
Application in the oil and gas industry
(I) Oil and gas field exploitation
In the exploitation process of oil and gas fields, trunnion ball valves are used to control the flow of high-pressure oil and gas. Its excellent sealing performance and high-pressure bearing capacity ensure the safety and reliability of the oil and gas exploitation process.
Trunnion ball valves are widely used in the transportation system of oil and gas pipelines. It can adapt to high-pressure and large-flow working conditions and ensure the stable flow of oil and gas during long-distance transportation. In addition, its low operating torque design makes valve operation more convenient and reduces energy consumption.
(III) Oil refineries and chemical plants
In oil refineries and chemical plants, trunnion ball valves are used to control the flow of various media, including corrosive chemicals. Its corrosion resistance and high sealing grade make it an ideal choice for these industries.
