Double block bleed trunnion ball valve

Double block bleed trunnion ball valve introduction
Double block bleed trunnion ball valve has three valves in valve.DBB ball valve as a single valve with two seating surfaces that, in the closed position, provides a seal against pressure from both ends of the valve with a means of vending/bleeding the cavity between the seating surfaces.
There are a couple different styles of double block and bleed valves. One style has two independently seating valves inside, with a bleed or drain valve. This configuration is referred to as a double isolation and bleed (DIB). The DIB valve can isolate either side of the valve (bi-directionally) to vent or bleed the cavity and isolate piping.

Double block bleed trunnion ball valve provides double block and bleed in a single valve. This style can isolate piping on both sides of the valve (uni-directionally) to vent/bleed the valve cavity between the seats.

Using a single double block and bleed valve system versus 3 separate valves saves installation time, weight on the piping system, and space. It also cuts down the number of leak paths to the atmosphere, reducing the risk of hazards when transferring liquids dangerous to humans or the environment.

Double block bleed trunnion ball valve application
Double block bleed trunnion ball valve is 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:
Level Measurement
Pressure Measurement
Chemical Injection
Sampling
Flow Measurement
Prevent product contamination
Remove equipment from service for cleaning or repair
