CREATING QUALITY VALVES WORLDWIDE<br />
www.bch.dk<br />
The <strong>Christensen</strong> lubricanted taper plug valves are ideal shut of valves for almost<br />
any medium, especially under the most severe operating conditions. The pressure<br />
balanced design means that the plug is provided with pressure balance holes,<br />
which ensure that the plug is always in axial balance and consequently prevents<br />
the plug from taper locking<br />
The twin <strong>Plug</strong> <strong>Valves</strong> – Or Double Block and Bleed – were developed in 1993 as a<br />
result of several major oil companies expressing a increasing need for a verifi able<br />
double isolation plugvalve, fully complying with both ASME and API codes. The<br />
idea was to design a double plug in one body house, with the same face to face<br />
dimensions as the single valves have. The valves were to be used in high explosive<br />
area’s where verifi able double isolation valves are required.<br />
Today <strong>Christensen</strong> has supplied several thousand double block and bleed valves<br />
in sizes from 1” to 24” in the Classes 150 to 2500. The valves are working under<br />
extreme conditions from Alaska to the North Sea and from South America to the<br />
Middle East area.<br />
