BRDR. CHRISTENSEN<br />

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 />
