Description

Check Valve is a valve designed to allow fluid to flow in only one direction and automatically prevent backflow. It helps maintain system stability, reduces damage from reverse pressure, and protects equipment from incorrect flow direction.

Features of Check Valve

  • Prevents backflow of fluids

  • Operates automatically without additional energy

  • Reduces water hammer and pressure surges caused by reverse flow

  • Made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials capable of handling high pressure

  • Suitable for use with liquids, gases, and steam

Types of Check Valve

  • Swing Check Valve: Uses a hinged disc that swings open and closes with fluid pressure

  • Lift Check Valve: Features a piston or disc that lifts with forward flow and drops to block backflow

  • Ball Check Valve: Uses a ball to control flow direction, sealing automatically when flow reverses

  • Dual Plate Check Valve: Uses two spring-loaded plates to reduce pressure loss and minimize shock

  • Wafer Check Valve: Compact and lightweight, designed for space-saving installations

Applications

  • Water supply and wastewater treatment systems

  • Oil and gas pipelines

  • Steam systems and heating equipment

  • Chemical and petrochemical industries

  • Pumping systems and pressure control networks
