Before discussing J-VALVES TRUNNION BALL VALVES, let's first understand some common and crucial design standards in the field of industrial valves. These standards regulate the production and application of valves from different aspects, ensuring that valves can operate stably and reliably under various working conditions.
Design Standard Name | Main Focus | Important Impact on Valves |
ASME B16.10 | Valve end face dimensions | It ensures the precise fit when valves are connected to pipelines, avoiding problems such as leakage caused by dimensional deviations, and is applicable to regular connection scenarios in multiple industries. |
ASME B16.5 | Flange connection | It clarifies the design and manufacturing requirements for flanges, ensuring the connection strength and sealing performance, which is vital for reliable operation under high-pressure and high-temperature environments. |
API 6D | Overall design of pipeline valves | It focuses on the overall performance of valves in pipeline systems, enabling them to adapt to complex working conditions, such as long-term stable operation in high-pressure and large-diameter pipeline systems. |
ISO 5280 | Valve pressure testing | It stipulates rigorous pressure testing procedures and methods. Through testing, the pressure-bearing capacity of valves can be verified, allowing users to apply them in actual working conditions with confidence. |
GB/T 12221 (An example of relevant domestic standards) | Valve structural length and connection dimensions | It ensures good compatibility between valves and commonly used domestic pipeline systems, facilitating installation and maintenance, and meeting the general requirements of the domestic industrial environment. |
J-VALVES trunnion ball valves strictly adhere to the above-mentioned many internationally common and authoritative design standards. For example, ASME B16.10 guarantees that the end face dimensions are accurate when they are connected to various pipelines, making the installation process smoother and the connection tighter. The flange connection manufactured according to the ASME B16.5 standard demonstrates excellent strength and sealing performance, and can effectively prevent medium leakage even under the harsh working conditions of high pressure and high temperature.
Meanwhile, the implementation of the API 6D standard enables it to operate with ease in pipeline systems. Whether it is the impact of high pressure or the complex stress conditions brought about by large diameters, it can maintain reliability and durability by virtue of the design that complies with this standard. Moreover, strict pressure tests are carried out in accordance with ISO 5280, and every valve leaving the factory has undergone a strict "test", with excellent pressure performance, fully meeting the requirements of various pressure environments in practical applications.
In addition to following the general standards, J-VALVES TRUNNION BALL VALVES also have their own unique design standard considerations. In terms of material selection, there are strict internal standards, covering the selection specifications for a variety of high-quality materials such as bronze, stainless steel (like CF8, CF3M), and alloy steel (such as A105, A216). For example, the selection of CF8 stainless steel is based on its excellent tolerance to water, steam, and corrosive media, and is specifically used to deal with working conditions containing such media. The A105 alloy steel is used to meet the strength and stability requirements under high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
In structural design, the full-bore design is one of the important contents of the design standard, aiming to create a fluid passage with low flow resistance. In this way, it can not only reduce the energy consumption during fluid transportation but also improve the operation efficiency of the entire system. Additionally, the floating ball seat design is also a key part of its unique design standard. Through this design, the sealing performance is improved, enabling it to adapt well to working conditions with high pressure differences and ensuring that the medium can be effectively sealed under different pressure environments.

Completeness of Standards Followed | Comprehensively follow international authoritative standards such as ASME, API, and ISO, and also incorporate characteristic standards regarding high-quality materials and structures. | Some brands may only follow some of the main standards and are lacking in some detailed or characteristic standards. |
Material Selection Standards | A variety of high-quality materials, and there are clear material selection standards for different working conditions, with wide material adaptability. | The material selection is relatively limited, and may only focus on several common materials, and the material matching for special working conditions is not precise enough. |
Structural Design Standards | There are unique and targeted structural design standards such as full-bore and floating ball seat designs, which are optimized in multiple aspects such as flow resistance and sealing performance. | Most of the structural design standards are conventional, lacking unique and effective design standards for special working conditions like low flow resistance and high pressure differences. |

Pressure Adaptation Range | It can adapt to high-pressure environments up to 2500LB, thanks to the high-standard structural and material design. | The highest pressure rating of some brands is relatively low, such as commonly around 1000LB, and their ability to cope with high-pressure working conditions is limited. |
Temperature Adaptation Range | It can work stably in extreme temperature environments ranging from -196°C to 600°C. The designs of materials and seals ensure its high-temperature and low-temperature performance. | Some brands may only be able to adapt to the conventional temperature range of about -20°C to 200°C, and their reliability in extreme temperature environments is questionable. |
Sealing Performance | With the support of design standards such as the floating ball seat, it has excellent sealing performance under working conditions such as high pressure differences, and has a low leakage risk. | Conventional sealing designs may not have as good a sealing effect as J-VALVES when facing complex pressure difference situations, and there is a certain leakage risk. |
Thanks to its high-standard design, J-VALVES TRUNNION BALL VALVES perform excellently in extreme working conditions in industries such as petroleum, natural gas, and chemical engineering. For example, during the process of oil extraction, in the high-temperature and high-pressure environment underground and when transporting crude oil containing corrosive media, it can operate stably for a long time by virtue of materials and structures that comply with strict design standards, reducing maintenance and replacement costs and ensuring the continuity of the entire production process.
It supports multiple connection methods, such as RF (raised face), RTJ (ring joint), and BW (butt welding), and at the same time provides multiple sealing surface options such as hard seals and soft seals to meet the diverse needs of different users for media and working conditions. Moreover, J-VALVES also provides comprehensive customization services. It can customize and adjust the valve size, materials, functions, etc. according to the specific requirements of specific projects, truly fitting every unique application scenario.
In the current industrial environment that emphasizes environmental protection and safety, some products of J-VALVES TRUNNION BALL VALVES adopt environmentally friendly materials and use fireproof coating technologies, complying with standards such as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) and NACE (related standards of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers), which not only reduces the potential impact on the environment but also ensures the safety of use in hazardous environments, allowing users to have no worries.
In conclusion, J-VALVES trunnion ball valves, relying on their complete and unique design standards, show significant advantages whether in comparison with other brands or in practical industrial applications. They can stand out and provide reliable, efficient, environmentally friendly, and safe valve solutions for numerous industrial fields.
