• Integral Forged Valve Body:The valve body and end caps are made of forged steel materials such as ASTM A105, A350 LF2, A182 F304 and F316, featuring refined grains and compact structure free from casting defects. Its pressure-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance are significantly superior to cast valves.

• Three-Piece Symmetrical Structure:Composed of a main valve body and two side end caps connected by bolts for easy disassembly. The valve internals can be maintained and replaced online without removing the entire valve from the pipeline, greatly reducing downtime.

• Fixed Ball / Trunnion Mounted Design:The ball is precisely supported and fixed by upper and lower trunnions, independent of medium pressure for seat loading. It delivers low and stable operating torque, completely eliminating the risk of ball deformation under high-pressure and large-bore conditions, ensuring long-term sealing reliability.

• Hydraulic Actuator:Powered by hydraulic oil, it directly drives the valve stem through a hydraulic cylinder, providing high output torque and stable thrust. It is suitable for quick opening and closing of ultra-high pressure differential and large-bore valves, supporting proportional control and precise positioning.

• Flanged Connections:RF (Raised Face) or RTJ (Ring Type Joint) flanges are applied in accordance with ASME B16.5, ensuring reliable connection and tightness under high-pressure service conditions.

• Bi-Directional Dual-Seat Sealing:Double Piston Effect (DPE) seats or Double Isolation and Bleed (DIB-1/DIB-2) structure are available to achieve reliable bi-directional sealing, meeting DBB (Double Block & Bleed) requirements and supporting online inspection and pressure relief.

• Fire-Safe Design:In compliance with API 6FA and API 607 standards. In the event of soft seal burnout, metal-to-metal sealing can still effectively block the medium, preventing secondary disasters caused by medium leakage under fire conditions.

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

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.
