What is a Double Block and Bleed?
In essence, a DBB combines two isolation valves into a single unit, with a third valve placed between them to relieve pressure. This configuration ensures a secure blockage on either side of the system while allowing any trapped fluid to be safely discharged via the bleed valve. This valve is typically used in applications where the system needs to be depressurized for maintenance or inspection without completely shutting down the entire process.
DBB are an efficient way to enhance operational safety while optimizing system space by reducing the number of individual valves.
Features of Double Block and Bleed
DBB come with a range of advanced features that make them highly effective in critical applications:
Isolation and Bleed Mechanism: Ensures two independent barriers for safety with a venting mechanism between them.
Compact Design: Combines multiple valves into a single unit, saving space and reducing weight, while also minimizing the number of potential leak points. Pressure Rating and Size Range: Available in pressure ratings from #150 to #2500, DBB accommodate different system requirements, with sizes ranging from 8NB to 100NB. Body Materials: Manufactured from a wide variety of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and specialty alloys, DBB are built to withstand various environments. Temperature Range: Suitable for applications with temperatures ranging from -7°C to 280°C. Compliance with Industry Standards: These valves adhere to international standards like ASME B16.34 and API 598, ensuring optimal performance in demanding conditions. Leak Prevention and Safety: DBB are fire-safe and meet sour service requirements under NACE MR0175 and ISO 15156 standards, making them reliable in harsh environments such as offshore platforms and chemical plants.
