Benefits
Normally when double block and bleed function is required, at least three separate valves and a spool piece are needed.
VE dual expanding plug valves have all this combined in one compact body
giving the following benefits
Integral trunnion
In our unique VE design the the bottom trunnion is fully integrated on the the lower
plate, preventing particles accumulating under the trim. In older designs dirt can collect and make the valve hard to turn as well as interfering with the correct operation of
the valve.
Also the service space needed underneath the VE valve is minimised compared to
other traditional designs.
In-line repair
The valve has a back seat device so the stem packing can be replaced while the line is under pressure. Provided
the valve is installed with sufficient space under, the slips can also be easily and quickly changed without removing
the bonnet and actuator.
On the VE valve the upper port of the relief is on the valve body which enables it to remain in place when the
upper trunnion is removed.
Moulded seals
The VE Dual Expanding Plug Valve has valves seals that are fully bonded (vulcanised)
to the slips, providing durability, strength and a long life.
Non-abrasive sealing
Most standard valves, like gate, butterfly, ball and plug valves, have their seal based on
shear or friction force. The VE dual expanding plug valve has twin slip seals which are
retracted fully before the valve starts to open. The slips are therefore not subjected to abrasion during operation,
which means a much longer valve life and less maintenance.

Certification
ERIKS VE valves have multiple certifications for a wide range of standards and applications. Certificates can be
viewed online at www.eriks-ve.com
1. Valve is open:
When the valve is fully open, both seals are protected from the flow path.
2. Valve is rotating:
Valve plug and slips rotate to place seals in closing position, during rotation
there is no contact between the body and seals.
3. Expand slips:
Once valve has rotated the slips 90, they start approaching perpendicular to
body seats.
4. Valve is closed:
Valve is seated. Chambered Resilient seals have been compressed so they
cant be damaged by actuator over-torque. Double block and bleed function can
be tested by opening the bleed valve.
Bore
The VE standard bore valves are commonly used for tank storage. Full bore valves are available on request.
Product range
There are two different series of the VE dual expanding plug valve
available depending on their bore size. The Standard Bore Series and
the Full Bore Series:
Standard Bore Series
These are standard bore valves with a plug port area of a 70% of the
Full Bore valves. The port shape has been stream lined to achieve
maximum flow and low pressure drop ( see cv values graph).
ANSI Class 150: 2 to 36
ANSI Class 300: 2 to 24
ANSI Class 600: 2 to 20
All valves are also available flanged in accordance with DIN PN16, PN25 and PN40 standards.
Dimensional data
As standard, all dual expanding plug valves meet the following dimensional aspects:
