- Gear Actuation: Ensures smooth, low-torque operation, providing precise control over valve position in high-pressure systems.
- Bi-directional Flow: Suitable for both upstream and downstream isolation, offering flexibility in various flow conditions.
- Double Sealing Mechanism:
- DBB: Offers two independent unidirectional seals with a bleed valve for pressure relief between the seats.
- DIB: Provides two bidirectional seats that isolate pressure from both sides, ensuring maximum safety in high-pressure environments.
- Construction: The body is composed of three pieces, allowing easy assembly and maintenance. The ball and seats are designed to provide minimal turbulence and pressure drop.
- Spring-Loaded Seats: The floating seats, supported by springs, ensure a reliable seal even at low pressures, with metal-to-metal seating for added durability.
- Material Classes: Available in API material classes from AA to FF, making these valves suitable for corrosive and non-corrosive environments.
- Temperature Ratings: Suitable for temperatures ranging from L (-46°C) to U (121°C), ensuring operational integrity in extreme conditions.
- Sizes and Pressure Ratings: Available in sizes from 5 1/8” to 9”, with pressure ratings of 3000 psi (210 bar) and 5000 psi (350 bar).
Gear-Actuated DBB & DIB Ball Valves (Model RVB-03)
The RVB-03 gear-actuated ball valves are designed for critical flow control in high-pressure oil and gas applications. These valves are built to API 6A standards and offer bi-directional flow control with robust gear actuation. Available in Double Block and Bleed (DBB) and Double Isolation and Bleed (DIB) configurations, they provide enhanced safety and reliability for drilling and production systems.
