    1. The document compares single piston effect seats and double piston effect seats in valves. Single piston effect seats are self-relieving, meaning high pressure in the valve cavity can push the seat away from the ball. Double piston effect seats are not self-relieving, and high pressure always pushes the seat against the ball. 2. A valve with two single piston effect seats has a double block and bleed (DBB) design. A valve with two double piston effect seats has a double isolation and bleed (DIB-1) design. 3. The key difference is that single piston effect seats can relieve pressure trapped in the valve cavity, while double piston effect seats always maintain a

    How Do Double Piston Effect Seats Work?

    2. With media trapped in the body cavity any increase in


    media pressure acts to push the seat ring against the ball
    (A3). As a result, regardless of whether the pressure is
    from upstream, downstream or within the body cavity, the
    seat ring is always pushed against the ball.

    The movement of the seat ring against the ball is created


    due to differences in the effective pressure influenced area
    of the upstream and downstream side of the seat assembly
