Functional Design

Trunnion Ball Valve uses a fixed ball design supported by trunnions at the top and bottom. The ball remains stationary while the seats move towards the ball under pressure, ensuring reliable sealing.

This design reduces operating torque and provides stable performance in high pressure and large diameter applications. It is suitable for critical isolation where tight shut-off and long service life are required.
