Pneumatic Trunnion Ball Valve

High Performance • Durable • Leak Proof

API 6DASME B16.34ISO 17292CE Certified

Pneumatic Trunnion Ball Valve for automated isolation with low torque and reliable high-pressure performance.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Applications

Automated high-pressure pipelines require valves that provide dependable shut-off, low operating torque, and long service life. African Valve supplies Pneumatic Trunnion Ball Valves for projects across Angola where remote operation and reliable sealing are essential. These valves are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, mining, power generation, chemical processing, marine, water treatment, and steel industries.

Why Use a Pneumatic Trunnion Ball Valve?

  • Trunnion-mounted ball design reduces operating torque.

  • Suitable for high-pressure and large-diameter pipelines.

  • Delivers reliable shut-off performance.

  • Supports automated operation with pneumatic actuators.

  • Available with soft seats or metal seats depending on service conditions.

  • Suitable for frequent opening and closing cycles.

  • Designed for critical isolation and emergency shutdown applications.

How Does It Work?

The ball is supported by upper and lower trunnions, which keep it fixed in position. Under pressure, the seats move towards the ball to achieve tight sealing. A pneumatic actuator uses compressed air to rotate the ball through 90°, allowing fast opening and closing without manual intervention.
