| Title | The Basics of Check Valves | ||||
| Description | The Basics of Check Valves swing type check valve, or one-way valves, are designed to stop backflow and, ultimately, to protect pumps and compressors. They are available in several styles and sizes, from 1/8 inch to as large as may be required. Check valves are found in many industries and with various applications ranging from municipal water to mining and natural gas. The three most common types are swing check valves, double-door check valves and silent spring-assisted axial flow check valves. Swing check valve This is probably the most common check valve in use today and is a full-port design, meaning the disc, when fully open, is out of the flow stream. This style of check valve is a good choice in applications that have a high percentage of solids and a lower on/off cycle count. Due to the travel distance of the disc, swing check valves close slowly. This causes the last push of reverse flow to slam the disc closed, resulting in a huge pressure spike, causing water hammer. Water hammer is a pressure surge when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly, causing a pressure wave in the pipe. This pressure wave can cause major problems from noise and vibration to pipe collapse. | ||||
