Ball Valve Seat Mounted Versus Trunion Mounted
Posted: 27 Nov 2010, 12:34
Dear All,
We have to replace one Ball Valve,Class 600# which is mounted on LPG Transfer Line very next to the pump discharge.We have recieved quotation from RPV-Group from UK (Vendor for almost all Valve Manufacturers).Problem is that they are offering Ball Constrcution as "Trunion Mounted" while as originally "Seat Supported " is installed.Will any body briefly disscuss can we use trunion mounted ball instead of Seat Supported one???
Kindly keep it in mind that this is highly hazardous job.LPG at around 600# LBS.
