Newway Industrial Stainless Steel Flange Double Block and Bleed Valve: The Safety-Critical Solution for High-Pressure Fluid Control
I. Technical Overview
The Newway Industrial Stainless Steel Flange Double Block and Bleed Valve (DDB Valve) is a safety-rated shut-off device designed for high-pressure pipeline systems. Featuring a floating ball structure and dual seat sealing, it blocks upstream and downstream media simultaneously while relieving cavity pressure. With sizes ranging from 1/2″ to 8″ (DN15-DN200) and pressure ratings of PN1.0-32.0MPa, it suits corrosive media like gas, oil, water, and acid liquids, widely applied in petrochemical, natural gas, and power sectors requiring strict safety isolation.
II. Core Product Features
(A) Double Block and Bleed (DDB) Design
Bidirectional Sealing: Upstream/downstream seats with PTFE+25% carbon fiber ensure bubble-tight sealing (leakage ≤5×10⁻¹⁰Pa·m³/s), complying with ISO 15848-1.
Safety Pressure Relief: A central bleed port releases internal pressure online, eliminating overpressure risks for hot work and pipeline maintenance.
Floating Ball Structure: Unsupported ball self-compresses against seats via medium pressure, enhancing sealing reliability by 30% under high pressure (up to PN32.0MPa).

(B) Precision Manufacturing
Stainless Steel Forging:
Valve bodies forged from AOD-refined SS billets (C≤0.03%) via 800-ton press (forging ratio ≥4:1), achieving ASTM No.8+ grain size.
Balls ground to ≤0.005mm roundness, ≤0.01mm fit with seats for precision sealing.
Surface Treatments:
Electropolished interior (Ra≤0.8μm) reduces media deposition;
Passivated exterior (ASTM A967), optional epoxy coating (200μm, 1000-hr salt spray) for marine use.
Full-Process QC:
100% NDT (UT+MT), RT for critical welds;
100,000-cycle testing with ≥95% sealing retention (Far beyond industry standards 50,000 cycles).
