Short Description: | Top entry trunnion mounted ball valves are widely used in petroleum and natural gas pipelines, as well as in oil extraction, oil refining, petrochemical, chemical, chemical fiber, metallurgy, electric power, nuclear power, food, and paper making equipment. The top entry trunnion mounted ball valve is easy and quick to disassemble on the pipeline, and the maintenance is convenient and fast. When the valve fails on the pipeline and needs to be repaired, it is not necessary to remove the valve from the pipeline. It is only necessary to remove the middle flange bolts and nuts, remove the bonnet and stem assembly from the valve body together, and then remove the ball and valve Block assembly. You can repair the ball and valve seat online. This maintenance saves time and minimizes losses in production. |

Working Type | Ball valves utilise a hollow ball that allows a flow through it when in the open position and isolates when closed. The ball is driven via a spindle that fits into a slot milled into the hollow ball, which in turn is operated by a lever to open and close the ball. The ball valve spindle is encased in the valve body neck and is sealed by a range of neck seals, to prevent leakage, in addition, the ball is sandwiched between two body/ball seats that ensure positive sealing. |
Applications: | • Ball Valves are used for flow and pressure control and shut off for corrosive fluids, slurries, normal liquid and gases. • They are used in the oil and natural gas industry, but also find a place in many manufacturing sectors, chemical storage, and even residential uses. |
