Are we talking about DIB-1 and DIB-2 as per API 6D??

Split wedge yes. Simple slab, don't think so.
Wedge gate, maybe.
Ask the vendor?

You can get spring energised seats to do it, if we’re going for the 6D definitions it’s going to be a special product for at least one of the valve designs.
Is just why you’d want it, DIB-1 you’d need a vent/drain connection to the body cavity.
DIB-2 you need to be very careful how you install the valve...

Looking at the definitions these seem to refer to ball valve seats not gate valve seats.
Slab gate valve seats generally rely on pressure on one side to seal the slab against the seal.
But different vendors offer different solutions.
Care to expand your question?
