The ZSBBS process fabrication is a modification of a standard Zero Static Tee. An integral valve located on the back of the valve assembly provides access to a sample port upstream of the Zero Static Tee weir. This sample port is utilized to take samples of the main process flow. The sample valve typically utilizes a .5” Bio-Tek or Pure-Flo valve.
The integral sample valve greatly reduces contact surfaces, hold up volume and possible deadlegs as compared to sample valves that are welded to the exterior of a standard Zero Static valve. The ZSBBS is an essential element of piping systems required to meet demanding L/D ratios suggested by the ASME BPE standard.
