Stainless Steel Fitting Bleed Ring Drip Ring Flush Ring A182 F55 CL300

A bleed ring is a specialized piping component used in industrial systems, particularly in applications involving pressure measurement or instrumentation. It is installed between a pipe or vessel and a pressure gauge, transmitter, or other measuring device. The bleed ring allows for the safe venting or purging of fluids (gas or liquid) from the system, which is essential for maintenance, calibration, or system safety.

Features of a Bleed Ring:

1. Vent Port: A small opening or port that allows trapped fluids to be released.

2. Material: Typically made from materials compatible with the process fluid, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or other alloys.

3. Pressure Rating: Designed to withstand the pressure of the system in which it is installed.

4. Connection Types: Available in various connection types, such as threaded, flanged, or welded, to match the piping system.

Common Uses:

1. Venting: Allows for the safe release of trapped gas or air in the system.
2. Draining: Used to drain liquid from the pipeline without disassembling the system.
3. Sampling: Provides access to take fluid samples for testing.
4. Instrument Connections: Can be used as a connection point for pressure gauges, relief valves, or other instruments.

Typical Applications:

• Pressure Measurement Systems: Used to vent air or fluid from the line to ensure accurate pressure readings.
• Calibration: Allows for the calibration of pressure instruments without shutting down the system.

• Maintenance: Facilitates the safe removal of instruments for maintenance or replacement.

• Safety: Prevents overpressure situations by allowing controlled release of fluids.
