AS-Schneider, which has a North American office located in Houston, Texas, has expanded the comprehensive Double Block & Bleed (DBB) product range of its VariAS-Blocks. These are now also available with a metal seated ball valve design. This means that the valves are suitable for use as a reliable primary isolation in industrial plants – at pressures up to 420 bar and under harsh operating conditions.
VariAS-Blocks now combine primary isolation (process side) and secondary isolation (instrumentation side) valves in one single valve body.
The VariAS-Block ball valves are available with valve seats made of PTFE Compound or PEEK in the standard version. With the expansion of its product range, AS-Schneider now also offers metal seated ball valves with a bore diameter of ten millimetres. The new version is also fire safe tested and certified according to ISO 10497 and API 607.
