Trunnion ball valves are quarter-turn valves primarily used for shut-off but also throttle service. They can be manually operated or actuated pneumatically or electrically. The spring-loaded seat and bidirectional seal design allow for a strong seal and self-cleaning capability, making them suitable for fluids with solids or high viscosity. As such, trunnion ball valves see wide use in industries like pulp/paper, petrochemicals, and more.
