API 6D Trunnion Ball Valves by Shandong Hugong
Our API 6D ball valve product line covers sizes from 2 inches to 60 inches, with pressure ratings ranging from ANSI 150 to 2500. These valves are engineered for reliable operation in temperatures from -46°C to +200°C, making them suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature applications. The standard design complies with API 6D and ASME B16.34, ensuring full interchangeability and adherence to industry standards. Connection types include raised face (RF), ring-type joint (RTJ), and butt weld (BW), offering flexibility for various piping configurations. Each valve undergoes rigorous testing in accordance with API 6D, API 598, and API 6FA standards, guaranteeing leak-free performance and fire safety. We also provide a comprehensive product brochure and technical video demonstrations upon request to help you evaluate the valve's capabilities before purchase.

In‑Depth Description of the Trunnion Ball Valve
What is a Trunnion Ball Valve?
A trunnion ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a fixed ball supported by trunnions (bearing-like projections) at the top and bottom of the ball. Unlike floating ball valves, the ball in a trunnion design is held in place by these mechanical stops, which absorb the line pressure and reduce the load on the seats. This unique mechanism allows the valve to handle high-pressure and high-flow applications with lower operating torque. The trunnion ball valve is often used in large-diameter pipelines where pressure forces would otherwise be excessive. Its design also accommodates fire-safe seat materials that can withstand extreme temperatures without losing sealing integrity. Shandong Hugong’s metal seated trunnion ball valve variant extends this capability to abrasive and corrosive media.
Applications and Industry Use
These valves are widely deployed in high-pressure oil and gas transmission pipelines, refinery processes, and chemical plant isolation services. In petrochemical facilities, the trunnion ball valve provides reliable shutoff for hazardous fluids, including hydrocarbons and acids. Power generation stations use them for main steam lines, feedwater systems, and fuel gas handling. The Warren trunnion ball valve design, known for its durability, is frequently specified in pipeline mainline block valve stations. Additionally, the valve's ability to operate in sour gas environments (NACE MR0175) makes it indispensable in upstream and midstream operations. Shandong Hugong valves have been installed in projects across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, demonstrating their global reliability.
Advantages and Innovative Features
The API 6D ball valve from Shandong Hugong offers low operating torque due to the trunnion support, which reduces the force needed to turn the ball. Its fire-safe design is certified to API 6FA, ensuring sealing in the event of a fire. The double block and bleed capability allows safe isolation of upstream and downstream pressure while venting the cavity. An anti-blowout stem design prevents accidental stem ejection under pressure, enhancing operator safety. Low fugitive emissions are achieved through compliance with ISO 15848, making the valve environmentally friendly. The split body construction facilitates easy maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline. Our metal seated trunnion ball valve option provides extended wear resistance for applications involving solids or high velocity. Other features include ISO 5211 actuator mounting pads for automation capability and a cavity overpressure relief mechanism that protects the valve body from thermal expansion damage.
Maintenance and Service Life
Regular inspection of the trunnion bearings and seat seals is recommended to maintain optimal performance. Lubrication of the stem and trunnion areas ensures smooth operation, especially in frequently cycled services. Shandong Hugong provides comprehensive
Supportincluding installation guides and maintenance schedules. Spare parts such as seat inserts, O-rings, and stem bushings are readily available for quick replacements. The modular design allows on-site refurbishment without special tools, minimizing downtime. Our valves are manufactured with corrosion-resistant materials and coatings, further extending their service life in harsh environments. Periodic testing of the double block and bleed feature should be performed to verify sealing integrity. By following recommended maintenance practices, these valves can reliably serve for decades.
