Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve is a kind of ball valve,A ball valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve that uses a ball-shaped disk to stop or start flow. If the valve is opened, the ball rotates to a point where the hole through the ball is in line with the valve body inlet and outlet. If the valve is closed, the ball is rotated so that the hole is perpendicular to the flow openings of the valve body and the flow is stopped. Advantages of using ball valves: Quick quarter turn on-off operation Tight sealing with low torque Smaller in size than most other valves trunnion mounted ball valve Advantages 1. Fluid resistance, the same resistance coefficient with the length of the pipe. 2. Simple structure, small size and light weight. 3. Strongand reliable, current valve sealing surface material widely used plastic, sealing in the vacuum system has also been widely used. 4. Easy to operate, opening and closing rapidly, from fully open to fully closed as long as the rotation 90 °, to facilitate the remote control. 5. Easy maintenance, simple ball valve structure, seals are generally active, they are relatively easy to replace demolished. 6. In the fully open or fully closed, the ball and seat sealing surface and the dielectric isolation, the medium through, will not cause erosion of the valve sealing surface. 7. Wide range of applications, from small to a few millimeters in diameter, large meters, from high vacuum to high pressure can be applied. Ball rotated 90 degrees, in imports and exports should all show spherical Department to cut off flow. http://www.cnweilan.com/222-cast_steel_trunnion_mounted_ball_valve.html Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve trunnion mounted ball valve
