Valves suitable for Oil & Gas production, processing, transportation, distribution, chemical and petrochemical refining on above ground and below ground installations.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
Trunnion ball valves have the obturator bounded by trunnions which do not allow axial displacements of the ball itself in the flow direction; line pressure compresses the seat onto the ball, the contact between surfaces generates the valve sealing; trunnion standard construction ensure automatic cavity relief in case of overpressure in body cavity; these valves can be selected for a wide range of applications with no specific limits to sizes and pressures. Fully welded constructions, both flanged or with welded ends, are a preferable solution when no maintenance is required on above ground or below ground (buried) installations and allows a real 0 leakage feature.
