Forged steel trunnion mounted ball valve has been designed two piece body type or three piece body type and with two floating seats, which are movable under the pressure of medium.
A ball valve uses a rotating ball and a stem to provide on/off flow control. When the valve is positioned where the bore is aligned in the same direction as the pipeline, it is in the open position, and fluid can pass downstream. When the ball is rotated 90-degree, the bore becomes perpendicular to the flow path, meaning the valve is closed, and fluid cannot pass.
Advantages of a ball valve include Fast shut off, only a 90-degree turn is required to close the valve. The opened or closed state of the valve can be easily detected by the position of the handle. The Ball Valve provides a tight seal, even after long periods, utilizing soft sealing components.
Trunnion-mounted ball design features a “trunnion” anchoring at the top and bottom of the ball. This design provides a positive seal on both downstream and upstream seats, regardless of pressure, allowing for Double Block and Bleed, or Double Isolation and Bleed function. This makes trunnion design ball valves suitable for larger-bore and higher-pressure operations. Additionally, this design reduces the torque required to stroke the valve, making a trunnion design ideal for automated ball valve applications.

Working Principle of Forged Steel Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve
Under the bottom of seats, seat pre-loading springs are positioned to ensure two floating seats can attach to the ball’s surface tightly, other more, the pressure of medium also can push seats to attach the ball tightly to ensure sealing is more reliable. Ball valves are widely used in petroleum refining, chemical, paper making, pharmacy, food, water power, municipal, steel, and other industries. Among them, sulfur-resistant series ball valves are particularly suitable for long-distance pipelines for transmission of high-corrosion natural gas with sulphuret hydrogen medium and many impurites.
The trunnion ball valve is equipped with a movable seat seal ring which can generate displacement under the pressure of medium. In case that any medium pressure exists, the pressure will press the valve seat seal ring onto the ball tightly, guaranteeing the sealing performance of the ball valve.
