As a specialized manufacturer of industrial valves, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. leverages its ISO9001-certified production expertise to deliver high-performance, reliable flow control solutions. Our API 6D Electric Trunnion Ball Valve with Explosion-Proof Enclosure is engineered for the demanding environments of modern petrochemical plants, refineries, and oil & gas transmission systems. This valve combines robust API 6D construction with advanced electric actuation, offering precise, automated control over critical process flows. Designed for safety and durability, it is an ideal choice for applications where reliability under high pressure and hazardous conditions is non-negotiable.
This valve is built to manage complex flow control tasks with efficiency and long-term stability. The trunnion-mounted ball design is a key feature, providing superior performance for high-pressure and large-diameter applications compared to floating ball valves.
- Superior Sealing & Zero Leakage: The trunnion-mounted design ensures the ball is fixed and supported, minimizing seat wear and deformation under high differential pressure. Combined with advanced seat materials like reinforced PTFE, PEEK, or metal seats, the valve achieves bubble-tight sealing (API 598 / ISO 5208) and exceptional service life, reducing fugitive emissions and maintenance costs.
- Robust Construction & High-Pressure Capability: Manufactured in compliance with API 6D and ASME B16.34 standards, the valve body is crafted from high-grade materials (WCB, LCB, CF8, CF8M, etc.) to withstand extreme pressures (Class 150 to 1500) and temperatures. The design includes reinforced stem and trunnion supports, preventing blow-out and ensuring operational safety.
- Integrated Explosion-Proof Electric Actuator: The valve is equipped with a high-torque electric actuator housed in a certified explosion-proof enclosure (Ex d IIC T6 or equivalent). This allows for safe operation in Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous areas containing flammable gases or vapors. The actuator offers options for on/off, modulating control, and fail-safe positions (fail-open, fail-close, or lock-in-last).
- Enhanced Operational Features: Features include a double block and bleed (DBB) function for safe isolation and downstream pressure venting, anti-static device for grounding, and fire-safe design per API 607/6FA standards. Extended bonnet options are available for cryogenic or high-temperature services.
- Easy Integration & Smart Control: The electric actuator is compatible with standard control signals (4-20mA, 0-10V) and communication protocols (HART, Profibus, Modbus optional). It integrates seamlessly with existing Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or SCADA systems, enabling remote monitoring and automated process control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main advantage of a trunnion-mounted ball valve over a floating ball valve?
A1: The trunnion-mounted design anchors the ball at the top and bottom, preventing it from shifting under high pressure. This significantly reduces operating torque, minimizes seat wear, and provides more reliable sealing, especially in large-diameter, high-pressure applications common in petrochemical plants.
Q2: Can this valve be used for both on/off and throttling (modulating) service?
A2: Yes. While primarily designed for reliable on/off service, when paired with a modulating electric actuator (with positioner), it can be used for precise flow control. It is recommended to consult with our engineers for specific throttling applications to ensure suitable materials and actuator sizing.
Q3: What certifications does the explosion-proof enclosure have?
A3: The electric actuator is typically furnished with an explosion-proof certification such as ATEX (Ex d IIB/IIC T6), IECEx, or NEC/CEC Class I, Division 1/2, Groups B, C, D. The specific certification can be provided upon request to match your project's hazardous area classification requirements.
Q4: Are fire-safe designs available?
A4: Absolutely. We offer fire-safe versions that comply with API 607, API 6FA, or ISO 10497 standards. These valves feature secondary metal seats that maintain a seal in the event of a fire, preventing catastrophic fluid release.
Q5: What is the lead time for a custom-sized valve (e.g., 36-inch)?
A5: Lead times vary based on material, pressure class, and actuator specifications. For large-diameter, custom valves, typical production lead time ranges from 8 to 14 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule upon order confirmation.
Q6: Do you provide actuators from a specific brand, or are they customizable?
A6: We source high-quality electric actuators from reputable manufacturers. The brand and specific model can be customized based on client preference, torque requirements, and control interface needs (e.g., Siemens, AUMA, Rotork, or equivalent).
Q7: How do you ensure the valve's sealing performance for sour service (H2S environments)?
A7: For sour service applications (NACE MR0175/ISO 15156), we select appropriate body, trim, and sealing materials that are resistant to sulfide stress cracking. This includes using NACE-compliant forgings, specific grades of stainless steel, and suitable gasket/seat materials.
Q8: Is local manual operation possible if the electric power fails?
A8: Yes. Most configurations include a manual override feature, such as a handwheel or a declutchable gear mechanism, allowing for manual operation during power outages or for maintenance purposes.
