17.07.2008 Double Block and Bleed Valve – a new product in the NOVA SWISS® VFT range

Besides the already well-known block and bleed valve (BBV), NOVA SWISS has just recently introduced a valuable addition, a double block and bleed valve. User and equipment can be protected and the new product meets all regulations in off shore applications. All sizes (1/4", 3/8" and 9/16") do have full bore and go up to 20'000 PSI / 1,380 bar. Laboratories benefit with this space saving solution by avoiding leaks and by being able to disassemble the measurement instrumentation without having high pressure on the equipment. Further, the lifetime of gauges can be extended because they are pressurized only if needed.
