Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve for High-Pressure Marine Systems, DN200 Large Bore, PN25 Rated
Product Spotlights
As a professional valve manufacturer since 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our engineered solution for demanding high-pressure marine applications: the Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve in DN200 with a PN25 pressure rating. This valve is specifically designed to offer superior reliability, safety, and long service life in critical offshore and marine environments where system failure is not an option. Our extensive experience exporting to global markets, including North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe, underscores our commitment to meeting international standards and the rigorous demands of marine engineering.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Trunnion Mounted Design: Unlike floating ball valves, the ball in our valve is fixed and supported by trunnions. This design drastically reduces operating torque and prevents excessive seat wear, making it ideal for high-pressure and large-diameter (DN200) applications. The ball is not forced against the seat by line pressure, ensuring smooth operation even at full rated pressure.
- High-Pressure Integrity (PN25): Engineered for a nominal pressure rating of PN25 (approx. 25 bar), this valve is built to withstand the surges and steady-state pressures common in marine fuel lines, hydraulic systems, and cargo handling systems. The robust construction ensures zero leakage and maintains bubble-tight sealing.
- Large Bore, Full Port Design (DN200): The DN200 (8-inch) size with a full port (full bore) design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, allowing for efficient fluid transfer. This is critical for maintaining flow rates and reducing pumping energy costs in large-scale marine piping systems.
- Enhanced Safety for Marine Use: The valve features a fire-safe design as per API 607/API 6FA standards (optional), where secondary metal seals engage in case of a fire, preventing catastrophic failure. Anti-static devices and blow-out proof stems are standard to ensure operational safety in volatile environments.
- Durable Material Construction: The body and trunnions are typically crafted from ASTM A216 WCB carbon steel or ASTM A351 CF8M stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance against seawater and marine atmospheres. Seat materials like reinforced PTFE or metal provide a wide range of temperature and chemical compatibility.
- Multiple Actuation Options: While supplied with a manual gear operator for direct control, the valve can be easily fitted with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators for remote operation, which is essential for automated marine systems and hard-to-reach locations.

- Global Compliance: Manufactured under an ISO9001 certified quality management system, our valves are designed to meet major international standards like API and ISO, facilitating their use in shipbuilding and offshore projects worldwide.
- Flexibility: Available in various material grades and with optional features like fire-safe certification, lockable devices, and different end connections, allowing for customization to fit specific project specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the main advantage of a trunnion mounted ball valve over a floating ball valve for high-pressure applications?
A: The key advantage is the fixed ball supported by trunnions. In high-pressure systems (like PN25), line pressure does not push the ball against the seat, resulting in much lower operating torque. This prevents seat distortion and wear, offering greater reliability and longer life in demanding conditions. -
Q: Is this DN200 valve suitable for seawater service?
A: Yes, when ordered with appropriate materials. We recommend stainless steel (CF8M/AISI 316) or duplex stainless steel body and internals for excellent resistance to chloride-induced corrosion from seawater. -
Q: Can this valve be automated?
A: Absolutely. The valve is designed with a standardized mounting pad for easy integration with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators. We can supply the valve as a complete actuated package ready for installation. -
Q: What is the delivery time for a DN200 PN25 Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve?
A: Standard material configurations typically have a lead time of 4-6 weeks. Expedited production may be available upon request. We ship from major ports like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong for efficient global logistics. -
Q: Do you provide fire-safe certified valves?
A: Yes, we offer fire-safe design options tested to standards such as API 607/6FA. This is a critical feature for marine applications involving flammable fluids, and it can be specified when placing your order. -
Q: What after-sales support do you offer?
A: As a manufacturer, we provide comprehensive technical documentation, including detailed drawings, material certificates, and test reports. We also offer technical support for installation and troubleshooting. -
Q: Are your valves compliant with major classification society rules?
A> Our valves are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of standards commonly referenced by classification societies like ABS, DNV, LR, and BV. Specific certification can be arranged upon request. -
Q: What is the warranty period for this valve?
A> We stand behind the quality of our products with a standard warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The specific warranty terms are provided with the commercial proposal.
