Every engineer encounters the challenge of having to choose one technology over another. A notable example is specifying the valve solution for a given process line. Sometimes the choice is evident. Other times, it is a tight horse race of options. In light of that, in this article, I want to focus on a topic I frequently get asked about: the differences between floating and trunnion-mounted ball valves. Selecting the most valve of the two for a specific service could be tricky at times. Thus, knowing what sets them apart helps a long way. Read on to learn about both valve solutions. My goal is to lead you to identify which design is more appropriate.

Based on the blog post “Chemical Injection Quill for Oil & Gas” written by my colleague Kevin Alamag, I would like to dive more into the depth of the application fields of Injection / Sampling DBB Valves. In my course of work talking to OEMs, EPCs, end-users and other clients on this injection/sampling area, I was surprised to know that there are many misunderstandings on this small but important product range within the whole process.
