dBX Shield™ - High Rangeability Rotary Control Valve
Low-noise rotary control valve for precise pressure and flow management in demanding applications.
DRAG® technology reduces noise, vibration, and pressure drop.
High rangeability ensures precise flow control in all conditions.
Robust materials and design minimise maintenance needs.
The IMI dBX Shield™ is a low-noise rotary control valve designed for pipeline pressure letdown, compressor anti-surge, and flow control in midstream, LNG, and refining industries. Featuring IMI’s DRAG® technology, it controls kinetic energy, noise, and velocity, ensuring stable and efficient operation. With a rangeability of over 1000:1, the dBX Shield™ provides exceptional precision at both low and high flow rates. Built from durable materials, it delivers tight shut-off, minimal maintenance, and high reliability. Ideal for severe service environments, it meets ISA S75.017 / EN 60534-8-3 standards for optimal noise and vibration control.
