Double Block and Bleed (DBB) and Single Block and Bleed (SBB) Ball Valves

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Double Block and Bleed (DBB) Valve: Provides absolute isolation in pipelines through dual sealing points, enabling safe pressure relief and maintenance in high-risk systems.
  • Single Block and Bleed (SBB) Valve: Offers reliable flow control and bleed functionality with a single seal, ideal for standard isolation and medium-pressure applications.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Construction

  • With a corrosion-resistant stainless steel body, ensure long-lasting durability in harsh industrial environments. The alloy material further enhances resistance to chemical exposure, outperforming standard carbon steel valves in aggressive conditions*.

  • 2. Versatile Pressure Compatibility

  • Supports high to low pressure ranges (high/medium/low), offering unmatched adaptability for diverse applications compared to single-pressure-rated valves. Ideal for systems requiring dynamic operational adjustments*.

  • 3. Fail-Safe Dual-Block and Bleed Design

  • The Double Block and Bleed (DBB) configuration provides redundant sealing, ensuring zero leakage during maintenance—critical for high-risk industries like oil and gas. Single Block and Bleed (SBB) models simplify isolation in standard commercial setups*.

  • 4. Streamlined Maintenance via Integrated Bleed Function

  • With built-in bleed ports, safely relieve pressure and maintain systems without full shutdown—reducing downtime by up to 30% versus traditional isolation methods*.

  • 5. Compliance with Industrial Safety Standards

  • Constructed to meet global industrial safety certifications (e.g., API 6D, ISO 14001), ensuring reliability in regulated environments. Verify specific certifications for your application*.

Supplier's note

  1. Three Technical Breakthroughs:

    • The Pro Model’s Super Duplex Alloy body withstands 20% higher pressure than industry benchmarks, enabling use in ultra-critical oil/gas infrastructure.
    • The Advanced Model’s Alloy 625 material offers 40% better corrosion resistance, ideal for chemical processing.
    • The DBB configuration in Pro/Advanced models provides dual-seal redundancy, eliminating leakage risks in high-hazard environments.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Suitable for residential HVAC or low-pressure water systems where cost-efficiency is prioritized.
    • Advanced Model: Perfect for mid-scale industrial plants (e.g., food processing) needing corrosion resistance and optional dual-seal capability.
    • Pro Model: Mandatory for offshore drilling or petrochemical facilities requiring zero-leak safety and extreme pressure tolerance.

With the Pro Model’s super duplex alloy, you can safely handle corrosive fluids at 240 bar—20% beyond industry standards. Pair this with its DBB design to ensure leak-proof isolation during maintenance, safeguarding both equipment and personnel.
