Double Block and Bleed / Isolation Test Plugs
Double Block and Bleed plugs are ideal in isolating certain areas of pipe for fabrication or isolated testing. Buckhorn offers this service as a means to effectively isolate areas or pipe and monitor and/or place a nitrogen blanket isolation potentially explosive vapors during hot work. The DBB allows water to be introduced between seals and perform a high pressure hydrostatic test on the single well without testing the entire line.
