Automatic stainless steel non-return valve
صمام فحص التأرجح من الفولاذ المقاوم للصدأ
A bolted-cover check valve for preventing reverse flow in process and utility lines, engineered around flow velocity, orientation, pressure drop and transient behavior.
What is a stainless steel swing check valve?
A swing check valve contains a hinged disc that moves away from the seat as forward flow develops and returns toward the seat when flow decelerates or reverses. It operates automatically and normally has no manual operator.
Correct selection depends on more than line size. Minimum stable velocity, orientation, fluid density, انخفاض الضغط, pump behavior and system transients affect disc motion and slam risk. A check valve should be sized for operating flow conditions rather than automatically matching the pipe diameter.

تصميم, testing and project compliance
API 594
Common design and testing basis for check valves within its scope, including flanged and butt-welding configurations.
ASME B16.34
Provides pressure-temperature, مادة, تصميم, examination, testing and marking requirements within scope.
API 598
Common shell and closure pressure-testing basis when specified.
API 6D
Pipeline-service check valve requirements apply only when the valve is specifically designed, documented and ordered to API 6D.
Standards are supplied only when stated in the quotation and purchase order. آمنة للحريق, الانبعاث الهارب, الخدمة الحامضة, cryogenic and PED requirements require a defined design and supporting qualification or documentation.
تطبيقات نموذجية
| صناعة | واجب نموذجي | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Water and wastewater | Pump discharge and treatment lines | Stable velocity, slam control and solids content |
| المعالجة الكيميائية | Process and transfer-system backflow prevention | Corrosion compatibility and minimum flow |
| النفط والغاز | Pipeline and facility non-return duty | Transient analysis, API 6D scope and seat leakage |
| Marine and offshore | Cooling and utility systems | Duplex materials, orientation and galvanic compatibility |
Application examples are not a service approval. The end user or piping materials engineer must verify corrosion compatibility, pressure-temperature limits, emissions class, operating frequency and applicable regulations.

الأسئلة المتداولة
Can a swing check valve be installed vertically?
Only when the design is approved for vertical upward flow and the operating velocity is sufficient to open and stabilize the disc. Vertical downward flow is generally unsuitable for a conventional swing check valve.
What causes check valve slam?
Rapid flow reversal, oversized valves, low velocity, excessive disc travel and system transients can cause impact during closure. Proper sizing and transient review are more effective than selecting by line size alone.
Does a swing check valve require an operator?
لا. It normally opens and closes automatically with flow. External lever, وزن, spring or dashpot arrangements are special engineered options rather than manual shutoff devices.
How should the valve be sized?
Use minimum, normal and maximum flow, fluid properties, انخفاض الضغط, orientation and transient behavior. A smaller nominal valve with stable disc position may perform better than a line-size valve in low-flow service.
When should an axial-flow check valve be considered?
An axial or nozzle check valve may be preferred where rapid non-slam closure, controlled disc travel or high cycling is important. The decision should follow hydraulic and transient analysis.
