TRUNNION MOUNTED BALL
VALVES
TWO-PIECE BODY
| Ball valves are straight-through flow valves which provide positive
shutoff with minimal pressure drop and flow turbulence. The barrier to
flow is a ball which is rotated 90 degrees to the direction of flow. In trunnion mounted valves, the ball is held in a fixed axial position by
upper and lower stems (trunnions) and can move only in a rotational
mode. the resilient seats are contained in metal carriers which are spring
loaded against the ball. Line pressure applied to a close valve increases
the spring load on the upstream seat to effect a tight seal. The primary
seating is therefore on the upstream seat permitting trunnion mounted
ball valves to be used for "block and bleed" service.
| Because the stem motion from full open to full closed is a 90 degree
rotation, ball valves are ideally suited for automatic operation. Newco cast steel trunnion mounted ball valves comply with the design
and testing requirements of ANSI B16.34 and API 6D. Installation
dimensions comply with ANSI B16.10.
All Newco two-piece body trunnion mounted ball valves have the
following features:
|
Full and regular port valves meet the design and test requirements of ANSI B16.34, API 6D, & federal specification WW-V-35, Type II, style 3.
Flange dimensions are in accordance with ANSI B16.5.
Full port valves have installation dimensions in accordance with the long pattern dimensions of ANSI B16.10 and API 6D.
Regular port valves have installation dimensions in accordance with the short pattern dimensions of ANSI B16.10 and API 6D.
