Flanged Forged Steel Check Valve

Introduction

Check valve, also known as non return valve, reflux valve, one-way valve or counterbalance valve, is a valve that opens and closes automatically depending on media flowing. Main parts of flanged forged steel check valve include valve body, disc, bonnet and gasket. It is used to prevent reverse flow and leakage of medium, such as fluid, gas, etc. This type of forged steel valve is also applied to stop reversal of pump and driving motor. We have swing check valve and lift check valve.

Applications

Flanged forged steel check valve can be widely applied as fluid regulating and intercepting equipment in tap water, sewage, construction, petroleum, chemical, food, medicine, textile, electric power, shipbuilding, metallurgy, and other pipeline systems.

Advantages

1. Small friction between sealing surfaces ensures low wear rate of flanged forged steel check valve.
2. Two times shot blasting processing of valve surface make this forged steel valve look fine and smooth.
3. CNC processing technology is adopted to produce disc.
4. Disc is with high strength and stiffness.
5. Disc restrainer is designed to prevent that the open position of disc is too high to be shut down.
6. Flanged forged steel check valve features small closing torsion and excellent sealing performance.
7. High intensity and flexibility of rocker are beneficial to close disc.
8. The disc sealing surface can be customized. Customer can choose sealing material according to media in order to increase sealing property and wear resistance according to requirement.

Principle

Flanged forged steel check valve allows medium to flow through it in only one direction, and it prevents reverse direction flow. Disc of check valve will open under the pressure of forward flow fluid. When fluid flows in reverse direction, the disc will be closed by fluid pressure and dead weight so as to cut off the flow.

Attentions

1. Before installing flanged forged steel check valve, please make sure
1) The valve agrees with operating requirement.
2) No dirt is attached to valve cavity.
3) Screw bolt is evenly screwed down.
4) The opening and restoration performance is flexible (by pushing the disc from entrance).
2. When installing flanged forged steel check valve, please ensure that
1) The media flow direction should be consistent with the arrow direction marked on valve body.
2) Vertical disc lift check valves should be installed on vertical pipes.
3) Horizontal disc lift check valve should be mounted on horizontal pipes.
3. When operating flanged forged steel check valve, do not make the forged steel valve bear weight in pipeline. Large check valve should have independent support to ensure that the valve will not be affected by pressure from pipe system.

Malfunction, Reason and Solution

Malfunction	Disc Breakage	Medium Backflow
Reason	The disc beat the valve seat frequently. Some disc valves which are made of brittle materials (such as cast iron, brass, etc.) will be easily broken.	1. Sealing surface is damaged. 2. Impurities are sandwiched between sealing surfaces.
Solution	Applying ductile materials to manufacturer valve disc	Repairing the sealing surface or cleaning impurities

Maintenance

1. The flanged forged steel check valve that is not to install temporarily should be stored in dry and ventilated room, side flange of the flanged valve must be sealed.
2. The valve for long-term storage should be checked regularly. The surface of the valve must be clear of dirt and coated with anti-rust oil.
3. The following conditions of flanged forged steel valve should be inspected regularly after installation:
1) Wear pattern of sealing surface
2) Wear pattern of rotary rocker
3) Dirt accumulation between the inner chamber of the valve body and sealing surface
4. Sealing performance test should be implemented after every time maintenance and assembly of the flanged forged steel check valve.
