This makes it ideal for API 6D pipeline systems.
2. Trunnion-Mounted Design for High Reliability
The trunnion support system stabilizes the ball, ensuring:
1. Lower torque operation
2. Reduced seat wear
3. Improved sealing consistency
4. Better performance in large sizes and high pressure classes
3. Double Block and Bleed Capability (Optional)
J-VALVES trunnion ball valves can be configured with DBB or DIB systems for:
1.Safe isolation
2. Maintenance protection
3. Leakage detection and pressure control
4. Fire-Safe Design
Designed according to API 607 / API 6FA, ensuring continued sealing performance even under fire conditions through secondary metal-to-metal sealing structures.
