Flanges and fittings in carbon and stainless steel

Customisable double block and bleed valves Founded in 1998 as a master distributor of Hy-Lok Corporation, Hy-Lok USA offers fluid system components for the oil and gas industry, including tube fittings, flare fittings, pipe fittings, double block and bleed valves, and needle and check valves. Thecompanyhasexpandeditsinstrument valve product line with double block and bleed valves that can be designed and engineered to order. Double block and bleed valves, also known as DBB isolation valves, provide an alternative to multi-valve systems by combining typical block and bleed components into a compact, space-saving unit. Hy-Lok double block and bleed valves are integrally forged, one-piece assemblies used for the primary isolation of pressure take-off and process flow. Double block and bleed valves reduce the need for costly multi-valve systems, minimise potential leak paths, and provide weight savings. “With the space-saving requirements of off-shore oil and gas extraction, it was important to offer a compact valve that is highly versatile,” said Jody Barnes, CEO of Hy-Lok USA. “Our DBB valves are flexible in design, and can be engineered to meet custom lengths, heights, and connection sizes.” The DBB valves’ compact design is suitable for instrument isolation chemical injection, gauge isolation, oil and gas production, and direct or remote mounting of instruments. Users have the option of choosing from a large inventory of ready-to-ship DBB valves or custom designing a solution that is optimised for their particular system. Additional double block and bleed valve benefits include uninterrupted flow for negligible pressure drop, low maintenance requirements, and a smaller profile for reduced risk of vibration damage. Optional DBB features include probes, check valves, seat wipers and injection quills.
