Product Name: ASTM A105N DBB Ball Valves
Design Standard: EEMUA 182
Body Material: ASTM A105N
Size: 1/2 Inch, DN15
Pressure: Class 900 LB, PN150
End Connection: RTJ
Operation: Lever
Double Block and Bleed (DBB) Valves provide double isolation through two obturators within a single body. They feature a bleed/vent system positioned between the obturators (such as the body port and ball, gate, or needle valve) to enable the bleed function. The floating ball valve design offers several constructions of DBB valves, making them versatile for various applications. These valves allow for the isolation of a pipe section from both sides, enhancing safety by preventing accidental leaks that could pose harm, particularly in the oil and gas industry. The DBB design also reduces the need for additional valves, providing space and cost savings while maintaining strong security features.
