• Fully Welded Structure:The valve body is connected to the pipeline by full butt weld (BW) without flange sealing faces or bolted connections, completely eliminating external leakage risks. Featuring a compact structure and light weight, it is about 30%~40% lighter than flanged valves. It allows direct buried installation and is maintenance-free over its entire service life.

• Trunnion Mounted Design:The ball is supported and fixed by upper and lower trunnions. Initial sealing is achieved by seat spring preloading, with medium pressure further enhancing the sealing effect. With low operating torque, it is suitable for high-pressure and large-size applications, preventing seal failure caused by excessive ball displacement due to pressure differential, ensuring accurate and smooth actuation by the pneumatic-hydraulic actuator.

• Power Source:Driven by pipeline natural gas or nitrogen, requiring no external power supply. Ideal for field, non-electrical, explosion-proof and remote areas.

• Air-Hydraulic Conversion:Gas drives hydraulic oil to achieve smooth and controllable valve operation, delivering high output torque and stable motion.

• Quick Shutoff:Fast response, completing closure within seconds in emergency situations to prevent accident escalation.

• Local / Remote Control:Supports local manual hydraulic pump, local pneumatic operation, remote SCADA control and automatic emergency shutdown.

• Line Rupture Protection (Rupture Pin / LPS):Automatically closes the valve upon detecting an over-limit pressure drop rate, preventing escalation of pipeline rupture accidents.

• ESD Emergency Shutdown:Automatically performs emergency shutdown upon receiving an ESD signal to ensure system safety.

• Full Bore Design:The flow passage diameter matches the pipeline inner diameter, resulting in extremely low pressure drop and allowing smooth passage of pipeline pigs to meet the requirements of cleaning and inspection for long-distance pipelines.

• Suitability for Direct Buried Installation:The fully welded structure has no external leakage points, enabling direct buried installation without valve pits or with greatly reduced pit dimensions. Extended stem and top protective sleeve are available as options for ground-level operation.

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.

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.
