Overcome the problems of traditional assemblies on primary isolation valves

Print 🖨

Anderson Greenwood Instrumentation Products compact one-piece valves are designed to overcome the problems of traditional assemblies on primary isolation duties. By combining piping and instrument valves in a single assembly, they provide weight and space savings, along with other benefits including reduced leakage and a safer hook-up. This more compact and efficient arrangement reduces pipework vibration and associated stress to offer the ideal configuration for many arduous applications.

Conventional – Double Block and Bleed

The disadvantages with conventional primary isolation double block and bleed pressure tappings based on a typical ANSI 1-inch [25 mm], 1500lb multi-valve assembly.

Weight: 100lb [45 kg]
Height: 5 ft [1500 mm]
Leak points: 8
Susceptible to vibration stress failure
Support bracket required
Induced bending moment acts on branch fitting weld
On-site labor required assemble
Six gaskets and bolting sets required
