¿Cómo funciona la válvula de bola montada en muñón?
The trunnion mounted ball valve is the quarterly turning of the valves. It shows that you require turning the actuator at 90 degrees angle to turn the trunnion mounted ball valve on or off. After turning the actuator, the ball starts moving, and bores are in the direction of the pipeline. The medium begins flowing easily. One more turning of the handle starts moving the ball so the facing of the bore is not towards the pipeline and the medium stops flowing. For instance, you need the regulation of the oil by the very critical processing units. So, here is the requirement regarding installing the trunnion mounted ball valve.
To begin the flow, keep moving the actuator toward the trunnion mounted ball valve towards the 90-degree angle. The connection of the actuator is with the stem of the trunnion mounted ball valve, whose connection is with the ball. When the rotation of the stem starts, there is also the ball’s movement. Here is the bore facing the pipeline. Therefore, this is the half-bore trunnion mounted ball valve, and there is a restriction of the flowing oil. The pressure is also low where the stream is also flowing. To stop the flowing medium, it is necessary to rotate the actuator along the stem and ball. Now, the bore of the ball is away from the pipeline. The pressure from the upstream pushes the seats near the ball for tight sealing. There is spring-loaded trunnion mounted ball valves; even the lower pressure keeps moving away from the ball. The tight sealing causes the oil flow to stop and avoid flow flowing in the internal parts of the trunnion mounted ball valve. In those applications where the pressure is high, the trunnion mounted ball valve sustains the torque as the additional pressure on the ball and seats. The trunnion absorbs its mounted ball valve. When the pressure is low in the applications, seats of the spring load of the trunnion mounted ball valve is near the ball for firm sealing formation.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre una válvula de bola flotante y una válvula de bola montada en muñón?
The main difference between the floating ball valve and the trunnion mounted ball valve is the ball’s construction and assembling of the parts in the valve’s body. The trunnion ball is fixed and placed in the middle of the valve’s body. It is the valve’s stem by the top of the shaft, and the bottom of the shaft is the trunnion. The attachment of the floating ball valve is with the valve’s stem. It results in the floating ball “floating” on the valve’s seat. In the trunnion design, the insertion of the ball is in the centre of the bottom shaft that is known as the trunnion. The fixing of the ball is between the trunnion and stem. The purpose of trunnion is to fix and keep the ball in the centre position. The pressure level starts pressing the seats across the ball to tighten. While working on the trunnion mounted ball valve, the ball doesn’t need rotation against the pressure and seats of the valve. The ball needs rotation, contradictory to the pressure from the seats. The requirement of the torque is low than the floating ball valve. The trunnion mounted ball valve is the most appropriate choice for applications with high pressure. One more advantage of using a trunnion mounted ball valve is its availability with the drain or bleed connectivity. It helps the trunnion mounted ball valve to work as multiple safety devices. Moreover, you can also use the trunnion mounted ball valve as the relief valve. It happens when the spring on the seat starts relieving automatically for draining the additional pressure back inside the mainlining.

Preguntas frecuentes
What's the key difference between trunnion mounted and floating ball valves?
Trunnion mounted valves use fixed shafts to support the ball (ideal for high-pressure applications), while floating valves rely on seat contact for ball positioning. This fundamental design difference makes trunnion valves essential for pipelines above 250 psi, where floating valves would experience excessive seat loading and premature wear. BCST’s trunnion design reduces seat loading by 60% compared to conventional trunnion valves, extending service life significantly. Field data shows BCST valves achieve 100,000+ operational cycles before requiring maintenance, versus 30,000-40,000 cycles for standard industry offerings.
Why is the trunnion mounted segment growing faster than general ball valve markets?
The 7.3% CAGR for trunnion mounted valves (compared to 5.2% for general ball valves) reflects increasing demand in deepwater drilling, high-pressure transmission systems, and LNG facilities where standard valves fail. As global energy infrastructure ages and new projects push technical boundaries, the reliability advantages of trunnion designs become increasingly valuable. BCST’s market share has grown to 18.7% in 2024 due to our focus on these high-growth applications. The 2-piece trunnion mounted segment alone is projected to grow from USD 1.25 billion (2024) to USD 1.85 billion by 2033, reflecting industry recognition of these operational advantages.

Our top-entry models allow maintenance without valve removal – critical for offshore environments where downtime is extremely costly. With 42% of offshore platform installations using BCST valves, our reliability record shows 99.4% operational availability in harsh marine environments. Additional features include anti-galling coatings for saltwater exposure, special stem seals for vibration resistance, and compact designs that maximize space utilization on crowded platforms.
How do I determine the right size trunnion valve for my pipeline?
Determining the right trunnion valve size requires evaluating four key factors: pipeline diameter, flow requirements, pressure drop limitations, and installation constraints. For most applications, the valve size should match the pipeline diameter (e.g., 8″ pipeline requires 8″ valve). However, for high-flow applications, you may need a larger valve size to minimize pressure drop – BCST’s full port design maintains 95-98% of theoretical pipe flow. Our engineering team can perform a detailed flow analysis using your specific operating parameters to recommend the optimal valve size. For critical applications, we recommend consulting API 6D guidelines and performing a formal valve sizing calculation considering your specific fluid properties and operating conditions.
