Sampling DBB valve
A sampling valve is a valve with an integrated probe or quill.
The probe or quill is in essence a piece of pipe that is inserted into the main process pipe.
The length and diameter can be specified by the customer.
As the name already indicates this valve is used for sampling.
Injection DBB valve
An injection valve is also a valve with an integrated probe or quill just like a sampling valve.
In addition it has an integrated check valve to prevent the process medium flowing backwards to the injection medium.
The valve is typically used to injecting additives into the process medium.
