What is double block and bleed ball valve

Double block and bleed ball valve, mainly used in valves, as mentioned above, if it is the DBB at the root of the instrument, it means that the root valve includes 2 shut-off valves and a discharge valve. It is divided and consists of 3 valves. One-piece, there are 3 external operating handles, and another refers to the shut-off valve (mainly ball valve) used on the pipeline, when the valve cavity is required to drain 9bleed), the upstream valve seat and downstream valve are both in a closed state

DOUBLE BLOCK & BLEED - FLOATING TYPE

The design of the BFE ball valve is based on the "floating ball" principle, which allows the ball to rotate freely between the spherical seals.
The positive seal is ground on the upstream surface of the ball through the action of fluid pressure, and a constant and uniform contact between the two objects is produced between the downstream steel ball seal and the steel ball.
The steel ball is operated by a sealed spindle with a protruding square end pointed by the control panel-
Dle or optional actuator is connected.
Ball valves used to open/close flow control devices must not be used to throttle fluid flow. The valve should always be closed, fully open or fully closed.

 

DOUBLE BLOCK & BLEED - TRUNNION TYPE

Trunnion ball valve have a mechanical means of  anchoring  the  ball  at  the  top  and  the  bottom, this design is the standard design applied on larger and higher pressure valves. 
Sealing  is  achieved  by  spring  loaded  piston type seats which shut off flow when line pressure  acts  on  the  upstream  seat.  Automatic relief of cavity overpressure is assured due to the  trunnion  design  in  case  of  self  relieving seats (BFE standard design). The ball is operated by a sealed spindle to which the operator is  attached.  Ball  valves  are  intended  to  be used  as  on/off  flow  control  devices  and  are not to be used to throttle fluid flow. The valves should always be either fully open or closed.

Frequently Asked Question

Do you have any question?

Double Block and Bleed Valve is a side-entry ball valve, with either a bolted or welded body, designed for use in upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas applications. This feature can be achieved with one single valves complete with a bleed port between the obturators.

DBB means double block and bleed. As per API 6D, a double block-and-bleed ball valve is a single valve with two seating surfaces, each of which, in the closed position, provides a seal against pressure from both ends of the valve with a means of venting or bleeding the cavity between the seating surfaces.

Double block and bleed valves are most commonly used in the oil and gas industry, but can also be helpful in many other industries. It's typically used where bleeding the valve cavity is required, where piping needs isolation for maintenance, or for any of these other scenarios: Prevent product contamination.
