• Solid Forged Body:Manufactured from solid A105N, F304 or F316 forgings, featuring dense grain structure, free of casting defects, excellent mechanical properties and significantly higher pressure-bearing capacity than castings. Ideal for high-pressure and alternating load applications.

• 3-Piece Construction:The valve body consists of a main body and two end caps, allowing easy in-line maintenance, trim replacement and seat inspection, minimizing system downtime.

• Trunnion Mounted Ball Design:The ball is supported and fixed by upper and lower trunnions. Initial sealing is achieved by spring-loaded seats, with medium pressure further enhancing the sealing effect. Featuring low operating torque, it is suitable for high-pressure, large-bore applications and prevents seal failure caused by excessive ball displacement due to pressure differential.

• Full Pressure Class Coverage:Designed for the full range of Class 150 to Class 2500 (PN20 to PN420), meeting system requirements of various pressure ratings and enabling standardized selection and spare parts management.

• Flanged Connections:RF (Raised Face), RTJ (Ring Type Joint) or BW (Butt Weld) ends are available, conforming to ASME B16.5, ensuring reliable sealing under high-pressure conditions.

• Soft Sealing:PTFE, RPTFE, PPL, suitable for ambient temperature applications and services requiring tight shut-off.

• Metal Sealing:Hardfaced with Stellite alloy or nickel-based alloy, suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, particle-laden and highly corrosive media.

• Fire-Safe Design:Compliant with API 607 / API 6FA standards. In case of fire, metal seals or graphite packing maintain integrity to prevent catastrophic leakage.

• Anti-Static Device:Built-in anti-static spring and conductor ensure electrical continuity between the ball, stem and body, preventing static buildup and explosion hazards.

J-VALVESSPE can supply a range ofseat types and configurationsto meet specific process needs:

J-VALVES trunnion mounted ball valves standard seat ringsare soft-seated by the use of athermoplastic or elastomeric or Meta

Seats-Tungsten /Chrome carbide /ENP

Single Piston (SPE) , Double Piston effect (DPE) and Combination (SPE x DPE) seats are available.

Seat Princlple

Two independent seat rings grant the sealing, barrieragainst the line pressure actingon the upstream and downstreamsides of the valve which allows the valve tobe bidirectional.

A set ofcoil springs acting, between the upstream side ofeach seatring,andthe body,generate an uniform thrust on theseat which push the same against the ball and grant the sealingfeature with no orverylow pressureinthe line,when the line pressure increasethe thrust actingon theseat increases proportionally and the sealing leatureis granted throughout the fullpressure range.

The J-VALVES SPE trunnion mounted ball valves are available with Double

Block & Bleed in dependent oftheseat type.

Bi-directional sealing	Yes	Yes	Yes
Body-Cavity Self relieving	Yes	No	Yes
Double Barrier	No	Yes	Yes (preferred direction only)

Single Piston Effect

Single piston effect (SPE) is the stand ard feature for theseat rings of the J-VALVES SPE trunnion mounted ball valves.

On a SPE seat ring:

The pressure ac tingon the upstream side ofthe seat ringgenerates aforce which push theseattowards the ball.The pressure actingon the downstream side ofthe seatring generates a force which pull theseatring away fromthe ball.

Anyoverpressure which may be generated by the thermal expansion of the fluid trapped in thebodycavity with the ballin fully closed position, will beautomatically dischargedinthe line on the lower pressure side.

Double Piston Effect

Double piston effect(DPE) is a stand ard feature fortheseat rings ofthe J-VALVES trunnion mounted ball valves & recommended forwelded body valves. Ona DPE seat ring, both the pressure acting on the upstream sideof theseatring andthe pressure acting on thedownstreamside of the  seatring, generatea forcewhich push the seattowards the ball.

With th is type ofseat ring,the eventual over press ure whichmay be generated by the thermal expansion ofthe fluidtrappedinthebodyeavitywith theball in fullyclosed position,can be discharged by the use of:

An external safetyrelief device.

The Double Piston Effect grants a double sealingfeature,iftheupstreamseat ringisdamaged, thedown stream seatgrant the sealingfeature of the valve.
