• F316L Low-Carbon Austenitic Stainless Steel Construction:The valve body is forged from ASTM A182 F316L (00Cr17Ni14Mo2) with a carbon content ≤ 0.03%. Its intergranular corrosion resistance is significantly superior to F316, and it retains corrosion resistance without post-weld heat treatment, making it suitable for on-site installations where solution annealing cannot be performed after welding.

• Solid Forged Three-Piece Structure:The main body and both side end caps are fully machined from forgings with a dense grain structure and free of casting defects. The symmetrical three-piece design ensures uniform stress distribution and allows convenient in-line disassembly and maintenance without removing the entire valve from the pipeline.

• Trunnion-Mounted Ball Design:The ball is precisely supported by upper and lower trunnions, with seating force independent of medium pressure. Operating torque is low and consistent, completely eliminating ball deformation risks for DN300 large-size valves under PN25 medium-to-low pressure, ensuring long-term sealing reliability.

• Dual-Seat Bi-Directional Sealing:Adopts Double Piston Effect (DPE) seats or Double Isolation and Bleed (DIB‑1/DIB‑2) structure to achieve reliable bi-directional sealing. It satisfies DBB (Double Block & Bleed) requirements and supports online cavity pressure relief and testing.

• Flanged Connection:RF (Raised Face) flanges comply with EN 1092-1 PN25 or GB/T 9113 PN25, compatible with European and Chinese standard piping systems for easy installation and maintenance.

• Fire-Safe Design:Compliant with API 607. In the event of PTFE/RPTFE seal burnout, a secondary metal-to-metal seal is formed between the metal ball and seat ring, preventing medium leakage under fire conditions.

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.

Valve seating variations

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.
