Frequently Asked Questions
A trunnion-mounted ball valve uses a fixed ball supported by trunnions (upper and lower shafts), which absorbs pipeline pressure mechanically rather than transferring it to the seats. This design delivers stable sealing performance, reduced operating torque, and extended service life — making it ideal for Class 300 and higher-pressure gas pipelines.
DBB refers to a valve configuration that provides two independent seating surfaces, each capable of sealing against pressure from one direction, while the trapped cavity between them can be vented or bled. This allows operators to safely isolate a section of pipeline and verify the integrity of both seats, significantly improving safety during maintenance or inspection of gas transmission systems.
The valve incorporates three key safety features for flammable gas service: a fire-safe seat design that maintains sealing integrity even at elevated temperatures during a fire event; an anti-static device that prevents electrostatic buildup, which could ignite flammable gases; and an anti-blowout stem that prevents the stem from being ejected under pressure, protecting personnel and equipment.
The valve offers flexible customization to suit various gas pipeline requirements. Options include multiple body and trim materials (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and low-temperature alloys), a variety of end connection types (flanged, butt-weld, or RTJ), and multiple actuation choices including manual handwheel, gear operator, pneumatic actuator, or electric actuator — providing versatility across different operating environments.
This valve is specifically engineered for Class 300 gas pipeline applications, which corresponds to ANSI/ASME pressure-temperature ratings for medium-to-high pressure systems. The forged trunnion-mounted design provides the structural integrity and reliable performance needed to handle the pressure demands of Class 300 service environments safely and efficiently.
The anti-blowout stem design incorporates a mechanical retention feature that prevents the stem from being forcibly ejected from the valve body if packing fails or during abnormal pressure events. This is a critical safety requirement in gas pipeline valves, as a blown-out stem can cause rapid gas release and serious hazards. The retained stem design meets international safety standards for gas service valves.
