TRUNNION MOUNTED,
ANTISTATIC, FIRE SAFE
DESIGN API607, API6FA
APPLICATIONS
Designed and executed for use in pipeline systems, which convey fluids under pressure,
neutral or potentially corrosive.
The products situate into the category of accessories for pressure adjustment and meet the
essential requirements for security insurance of users of pressure equipment covered by
GD 584/2004.
BENEFITS
Construction which guarantees the separation of the two fluid paths on both sides of the valve
- upstream and downstream.
Offered in standard variants both with double bearing of the ball (trunnion):
- Split body; Welded body; Top entry
Antistatic construction-electrical contact between all the metallic elements of the valve, fire
safe design acc. to API 607; API6FA (ISO 10497) – certified.
Anti blow out stem design, sealing replacement can be done with the valve under pressure.
Single, double or triple sealing:
- single sealing metal/metal (SPE single piston effect);
- double sealing: primary sealing metal/metal, secondary sealing metal/PTFE,
-triple sealing (DPE – double piston effect): primary sealing metal/metal, secondary sealing
metal/PTFE or metal/FKM assured by one of the upstream sealing system.
-Dual seat –Double piston efect with maximum realibility
The sealing is permanent and is assured by the springs positioned behind the seats. After the
primary seal is used, the sealing is made by PTFE or FKM gasket and after this one is wear,
the sealing is assured by introduced sealing mastic. The specific structure of stem bearing and
sealing – the two functions of bearing and sealing are separated.
Optionally with lubrication seat for the sliding bearings (stem + ball gaskets) - for gases as the
working fluid.
The valve type "block and bleed" allows to check the gaskets’ tightness degree from de ball
without disassembling it from installation, both in opened or closed position. "Block and Bleed"
type valve, allow verifying the degree of tightness of the seals without dismantling the
installation area both in the open position and closed position.
The standard version allows the pressure verification from the valve’s chamber using a pipe
that has at one end a needle valve and a manometer.

Dimensions according to API 6D or SR EN558-1
Standard working environment: neutral or potential corrosive gases and liquids, filtrated, without any
solid particles bigger than 0,1 mm.
Special orders: fluids with suspensions; the nature of suspensions and the size of particles has to be
mentioned.
Process connections: flanged; welding ends; threads
Materials: body - alloy steel or stainless steel; ball – hard nickel-plating or hard chromium-plating alloy
steel or stainless steel; seats - hard nickel-plating or hard chromium-plating alloy steel; alloy steel +
stellite.stainless steel.Stem stainless steel 17-4-PH or AISI 316
Operation – by hand, up to Dn100 with lever, over Dn 100 with reducer or electrically, pneumatically,
hidro-pneumatically,electro-hidraulically actuator.
Leakage rate – A class, acc. to SR EN12266-2 (no leakage), or class I acc.to API598.
Valves have the possibility to purge and vent and they have a device to check the annular space
between the sealing seats. Corrosion protection is provided by high resistance paint and for options
installed underground, the valves are provided (if there are no other explicit requirements) with
polyurethane coating, which has an insulation resistance bigger than 27kV. Welding tests according to
API1104.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Shut valve – both sides of the ball are Open valve – the valve’s

 The primary sealing is assured by the metal gasket. After the primary
gasket is wear the sealing is provided by the Viton gasket.
Basically the force that assures the pressing of the gaskets is provided only
by springs, the gaskets’ sealing diameter is lower, in fact equal with the
sealing diameter of the metal and the O-ring gaskets.
The metal gasket assures the sealing if the O-ring gasket is damaged, at
least till the injection of the emergency moulded gaskets.
The force produced by (pressure x valve section) is taken by the bearing
system of the ball.
