FUNCTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF CHECK VALVE

Check valve definition

Check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the valve disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the backflow of the medium, also known as check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve.

Check valve action

The check valve is an automatic valve. Its main function is to prevent the reverse flow of medium, the reverse rotation of pump and drive motor, and the discharge of container medium. The check valve can also be used on the pipeline to supply the auxiliary system whose pressure may rise above the system pressure.

 

Classification of check valves

Check valves can be divided into:

1. swing check valve

The disc of the swing check valve is disc-shaped and rotates around the rotating shaft of the valve seat channel. Because the channel in the valve is linear, the flow resistance is smaller than that of the lift check valve. It is suitable for large-diameter occasions with low flow rate and infrequent flow changes, but it is not suitable for pulsating flow. Its sealing performance is not as good as that of the lift check valve. Swing check valves are divided into three types: single disc, double disc and multi half. These three types are mainly divided according to the valve diameter, so as to prevent the medium from stopping or reversing flow and reduce the hydraulic impact.

 

2. lift check valve

For the check valve whose disc slides along the vertical center line of the valve body, the lift check valve can only be installed on the horizontal pipeline, and the disc on the high-pressure small-diameter check valve can adopt a ball. The body shape of the lift check valve is the same as that of the stop valve (which can be common with the stop valve), so its fluid resistance coefficient is large. Its structure is similar to the stop valve, and the valve body and disc are the same as the stop valve. The upper part of the valve clack and the lower part of the valve cover are machined with a guide sleeve. The guide sleeve of the valve clack can rise and fall freely in the guide sleeve of the valve cap. When the medium flows downstream, the valve clack is opened by the thrust of the medium. When the medium stops flowing, the valve clack falls on the valve seat by itself to prevent the reverse flow of the medium. The direction of the medium inlet and outlet channel of the straight through lift check valve is perpendicular to the direction of the valve seat channel; For the vertical lift check valve, the direction of the medium inlet and outlet channel is the same as that of the valve seat channel, and its flow resistance is smaller than that of the straight through type.

 

3. disc check valve

A check valve in which the disc rotates about a pin in the seat. The disc check valve has simple structure and can only be installed on the horizontal pipeline with poor sealing performance.

 

4. pipeline check valve

A valve in which the disc slides along the centerline of the valve body. Pipeline check valve is a new type of valve. It has small volume, light weight and good processing technology. It is one of the development directions of check valve. However, the fluid resistance coefficient is slightly larger than that of swing check valve.

 

5. compression check valve

This valve is used as boiler feed water and steam shut-off valve. It has the comprehensive function of lift check valve, stop valve or angle valve.

Features and Applications of Globe Valves

图片
Conventional globe valves may be used for isolation and throttling services. Although these valves exhibit slightly higher pressure drops than straight- through valves (e.g., gate, plug, ball, etc.), they may be used where the pressure drop through the valve is not a controlling factor. Globe valves  are extensively employed to control flow. The range of flow control, pressure drop, and duty must be considered in the design of the valve to avert premature failure and to assure satisfactory service. Valves subjected to high-differential pressure-throttling service require specially designed valve trim. Generally the maximum differential pressure across the valve disc should not exceed 20 percent of the maximum upstream pressure or 200 psi (1380 kPa), whichever is less. Valves with special trim may be designed for applications exceeding these differential pressure limits.   Forged steel A105 Globe valve socket flange end   Types of Globe Valves Tee Pattern globe valves have the lowest co

Types of Butterfly Valves and Their Functions

图片
Butterfly valves are versatile flow control devices widely used in various industries. They are available in different types, each designed to meet specific application requirements. Understanding the various types of butterfly valves and their functions can help in selecting the most suitable valve for a particular system. Let's explore the different   types of butterfly valves   and their functions in more detail: Concentric Butterfly Valves: Concentric butterfly valves are the most common type and feature a resilient seat with a metal disc centered on the valve stem. They offer excellent sealing capabilities and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including HVAC systems, water treatment plants, and general industrial processes. The concentric design provides a tight shut-off, and the resilient seat ensures reliable sealing even in low-pressure applications. Double Offset Butterfly Valves: Double offset butterfly valves have a slightly offset disc that enables a cam-li

Swing Check Valve vs. Check Valve

图片
Valves   are essential components of any piping system as they regulate the flow of fluids and gases. They come in various types, each designed for a specific purpose. Two common types of valves are the swing check valve and the check valve. In this article, we will explore the differences between these two valves and help you determine which one is best for your application. ​ Check Valve A  check valve  is a valve that allows fluid or gas to flow in only one direction. It has a closure element that opens and closes automatically in response to the pressure of the fluid or gas passing through the valve. When the fluid or gas flows in the correct direction, the closure element opens, allowing the fluid or gas to pass through the valve. When the fluid or gas tries to flow in the opposite direction, the closure element closes, preventing backflow. Check valves are commonly used in applications where backflow prevention is critical, such as in sewage systems, irrigation systems, and gas p
