A216 WCB Cast Steel Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve

The seat component of the fixed ball valve has self tightening characteristics, which can achieve upstream sealing. Both seats of the valve can be sealed, so there is no flow restriction during installation and it is bidirectional.

There are two types of valve body structures for fixed ball valves: two piece and three piece. The middle flange is connected by bolts, and the seal is made of reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene embedded in the stainless steel ring. There is a spring at the back of the steel ring to ensure that the valve seat is tightly against the ball, maintaining a seal. Both the upper and lower valve stems are equipped with PTFE bearings to reduce friction and save operation. The bottom of the small shaft is equipped with adjustment plates to ensure the position of the ball and sealing ring at the joint. Full bore: The valve flow aperture is consistent with the inner diameter of the pipeline for pipeline cleaning.

Performance advantages of cast steel trunnion mounted ball valves from BOLON.

1. Low torque operation

The sphere is supported by upper and lower bearings, reducing friction and eliminating excessive torque caused by the huge sealing load formed by the inlet pressure pushing the sphere and the sealing seat.

2. Reliable sealing performance

The PTFE single material sealing ring is embedded in the stainless steel valve seat, and a spring is installed at the end of the metal valve seat to ensure sufficient pre tightening force of the sealing ring. When the sealing surface of the valve is worn during use, the valve continues to ensure good sealing performance under the action of the spring.

3. Fireproof structure

In order to prevent the occurrence of sudden heat or fire, which may cause the PTFE sealing ring to burn out and cause significant leakage, and promote the fire, a fireproof sealing ring is installed between the sphere and the valve seat. When the sealing ring is burned out, under the action of spring force, the valve seat sealing ring is quickly pushed onto the sphere, forming a metal to metal seal and achieving a certain degree of sealing effect. The fire resistance test meets the requirements of APl6FA and APl607 standards.

4. Automatic pressure relief function

When the pressure of the stagnant medium in the valve chamber abnormally increases beyond the pre force of the spring, the valve seat will retract and detach from the sphere, achieving the effect of automatic pressure relief. After pressure relief, the valve seat will automatically recover

5. The function of cleaning pipelines

Drain holes are installed on both sides of the valve body to check for leaks in the valve seat. During operation, when the valve is fully open or fully closed, the pressure in the middle chamber can be removed and the packing can be directly replaced; It can discharge residual substances in the middle chamber and reduce the pollution of the medium on the valve.

6. Sealing emergency grease injection rescue

Due to foreign objects in the medium or fire causing accidental failure of the valve seat seal, the grease valve provides a quick connection with the grease gun, and the imported pump conveniently and quickly injects sealing grease into the valve seat sealing area to alleviate leakage.

7. Reliable valve stem seal and low operating torque

In addition to setting standard sealing rings, O-ring seals are also installed on the packing gland, ensuring the reliability of the valve stem seal with dual sealing; The addition of graphite packing and sealing grease injection minimizes valve stem leakage after a fire. The sliding bearings and thrust bearings of the valve stem make the operation of the valve easy.

8. Full bore or reduced bore

Full bore or reduced bore structures can be selected as needed. The flow aperture of the full bore valve is consistent with the inner diameter of the pipeline, making it easy to clean the pipeline.

9. The valve stem can be extended

According to installation or operation requirements, the valve stem can be extended. Extended rod ball valve, especially suitable for urban gas and other occasions that require buried pipeline laying. The size of the extended valve stem shall be determined according to customer needs.

10. Flexible operation

The use of seat and stem bearings with small friction coefficient and good self-lubricating properties greatly reduces the operating torque of the valve. Therefore, even without providing sealing grease, the valve can be operated flexibly and freely for a long time.
