Fire-Safe Function
In the event of a fire, if the seat construction is damaged, the valve activates a metal-to-metal seal, automatically meeting fire-safe requirements.
Technical Seating Features
Upstream Seat
The difference in the area (D1) multiplied by the line pressure creates a “piston effect” that pushes the seat against the ball’s surface. Additionally, the springs behind the seat apply extra force, maintaining a tight seal by keeping the seat in contact with the ball surface.
Downstream Seat
When the pressure in the body cavity exceeds the spring pressure, the system automatically relieves the excess pressure by allowing it to escape past the downstream seat. This design eliminates the need for a separate body relief valve.
Doble bloqueo y sangrado
The double block and bleed feature is available in all seat design configurations. When the ball is in the closed position, the body cavity pressure can be reduced to zero by opening the bleed valve and draining the fluid through the drain plug. Each seat operates independently, providing a tight shutoff seal against the ball on both the upstream and downstream sides.
