DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED VALVES - HOW IT WORKS
DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED VALVES - HOW IT WORKS

1. OPEN

Valve fully open.
Seatings slips are protected from flow path

2. ROTATING

Plug is rotating.
There is no contact between body and seating slips.

3. EXPANDING

Plug/slips have rotated 90°, plug starts expanding slips.
Slips only move perpendicular to body seats.
Plug/slip assembly is kept centered in body by top and bottom bushings.

4. DOUBLE BLOCK & BLEED

Valve seated.
Resilient seals have been compressed. Resilient seals
cannot be damaged by operator over-torque. Double
block and bleed function can be tested by opening the bleed valve.

5. START TO OPEN

Valve starts opening. Plug moving up, retracting slips from the body seats. Strong dovetail and stems retract the slips.
Plug is kept centered in body by top and bottom bushings.

6. SLIPS RETRACTED

Slips have been retracted prior to rotation.
