Product Key Features & Technical Specifications
- API Standard Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with API 6D and API 594 standards, ensuring dimensional integrity, pressure rating, and material traceability required for critical oil and gas applications.
- Robust Material Selection: Available in carbon steel (WCB, WCC), stainless steel (CF8, CF8M, 304, 316), and alloy steel (WC6, WC9) to withstand corrosive media, high temperatures, and sour service (NACE MR0175 optional).
- High Pressure & Temperature Capability: Designed for pressure classes from 150 to 2500 (PN16–PN420) and temperature range –29°C to +425°C, with customized options for extreme conditions.
- Multiple Design Types: Swing check, lift check, dual plate check, and tilting disc check configurations to suit different flow characteristics, installation space, and maintenance requirements.
- Leakage Prevention: Metal-to-metal or soft seat sealing (PTFE, PEEK, NBR) ensures zero backflow and tight shut-off, meeting API 598 leakage requirements.
- Versatile End Connections: Flanged (RF, RTJ, FF), wafer, lug, and butt weld ends available, compatible with ANSI, DIN, JIS, and GB standards.
- Quick Response & Low Pressure Drop: Optimized disc design minimizes flow resistance and provides fast closing action to prevent water hammer.
- Easy Maintenance: Top-entry or split-body design facilitates in-line inspection and repair without removing the valve from the pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the difference between a swing check valve and a dual plate check valve?
A swing check valve uses a single disc that swings on a hinge, suitable for low velocity and large diameter lines. A dual plate check valve has two spring-loaded plates that close quickly, ideal for high velocity, pulsating flow, and where space is limited. We can recommend the best type based on your operating conditions. -
Can this check valve be used for sour gas (H2S) service?
Yes, we can supply NACE MR0175 compliant materials (such as Inconel cladding, controlled hardness) for sour service. Please specify your requirement when ordering. -
What is the maximum pressure rating for a 24-inch check valve?
Our standard design covers Class 150 to Class 2500. For a 24-inch valve, Class 150 to Class 900 is typical, but higher classes are available upon request with customized design. -
Do you offer flanged connections with RTJ facing?
Yes, we offer raised face (RF), ring-type joint (RTJ), and flat face (FF) as per ASME B16.5. RTJ is commonly used for high-pressure applications. -
How does the valve prevent water hammer?
Our dual plate and tilting disc check valves feature spring-assisted closing that ensures rapid response to flow reversal, minimizing the risk of water hammer. The disc design also reduces the closing time. -
What is the typical lead time for a standard check valve?
Lead time depends on size, material, and quantity. For standard sizes (2-12 inch) in carbon steel, it is typically 15-25 working days. Larger or custom orders may require 30-45 days. Please contact us for exact delivery time. -
Can you provide a certificate of conformity and material test reports?
Yes, we provide full documentation including mill test certificates, pressure test reports, and certificate of conformity per ISO9001 requirements. Third-party inspection is also acceptable. -
What is the warranty period?
We offer a 12-month warranty from the date of shipment against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available upon request.
