INJECTION QUILLS & SAMPLING PROBES FOR DBB VALVES

In most modern applications there is often a requirement to take a sample of the process fluid or inject a particular chemical directly into the process stream at full operating pressures and temperatures.

To meet this requirement then any of the YDB VALVES ranges of Double Block and Bleed Valves including one piece body DBB, Modular Type, Monoflange Valves and Manifold Valves can be fitted with either an Injection Quill or Sampling Probe whilst retaining the wide choice of options available in each range.

Probes and Quills extend into the process medium and are designed to meet the individual application requirements. Units can be fitted with an Integral Check Valve to prevent back flow into the process stream.

Injection Quills

In many applications there is a need to inject chemicals such as de-waxing, de-icing or de-foaming agents into the process stream to facilitate a free flow of the process media.

Using the primary and secondary isolation valves the required chemical is injected directly into the process stream. It is usual for Injection Valves to be fitted with a non-return check valve that only opens when chemicals are injected into the process line thus preventing back flow out of the process stream.

Sampling Probe

Typically the need would be to allow a small process sample to be removed for evaluation under full system pressure.

Usually this is achieved by opening and closing of the primary isolation valve thus trapping a sample of the process fluid between the primary and secondary isolation valves. Using the vent valve this sample can then be safely vented off at reduced pressure.

Alternatively if larger samples are required then this can be achieved by use of the primary and secondary isolation valves with an optional Non Return Check Valve being fitted to prevent back flow into the process stream.

Non Return Valve

A high integrity full bore non-return valve, which can be fitted internally or externally, eliminates the risk of back flow into or out of the process stream. The design uses a spring loaded poppet to ensure leak proof performance and has standard cracking pressure of 10 psig although other cracking pressures can be supplied.

Construction

The Quill / Probe can be manufactured in several ways to suit the users' requirement:

  1. The outlet flange and the probe can be made from a single one piece forging or from forged barstock.
  2. The Quill / Probe is manufactured from forged barstock which is then screwed and torqued into the outlet flange. If required the probe can also be seam welded to provide added strength.
  3. The Quill / Probe can be socket welded into the outlet flange.
 
 

Dimension

The overall quill length, defined in mm from the tip to directly below the flange face and pipe schedule of the quill are user definable. Units can be fitted with velocity or support collars dependent upon the required design.

Bore

Bore sizes are determine by the through bore of the DBB valve that have 10mm, 14mm and 20mm as standard. Other options available Kindly contact YDB VALVES

Materials

Quill / Probes are usually manufactured special to order and as such are available in a full range of materials including: SS 316, SS 316L, LF2 Carbon Steel, A105 Carbon Steel, Duplex, Super Duplex, Hastelloy, 6 Mo, Monel, Inconel, Titanium etc
