1. Overview of Cast steel lift check valve:

The lift check valve is selected for the pipelines of various working conditions such as petroleum, chemical industry

lift swing check valve (2)

and thermal power plants with a nominal pressure of PN1.6～6.4MPa and a working temperature of -29～550℃. Applicable media are: water, oil, steam, etc.

2. Structural features of Cast steel lift check valve:

1. Exquisite selection of materials, in line with domestic and foreign standards, the highest quality of materials.

2. The sealing pair is advanced and reasonable. The sealing surface of the valve disc and the valve seat is made of iron-based alloy or Stellite cobalt-based cemented carbide. It has good wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and scratch resistance. ,long lasting.

3. The products are designed and manufactured according to the national standard GB/T12235.

4. Various piping flange standards and flange sealing types can be used to meet various engineering needs and user requirements.

5. The valve body has a complete range of materials, and the gasket can be reasonably selected according to actual working conditions or user requirements, and can be suitable for various pressure, temperature and medium working conditions.

According to user requirements, check valves with different structures and connections can be designed and manufactured for use with various equipment.

H41H lift check valve: Do not allow the check valve to bear weight in the pipeline. Large-scale check valves should be independently supported to prevent them from being affected by the pressure produced by the pipeline system. When installing, pay attention to the direction of medium flow should be consistent with the arrow direction indicated by the valve body. Suitable for water, steam, oil, nitric acid, acetic acid, oxidizing medium, urea and other media.

H41H, H41Y type PN16~PN100 lifting steel check valve is one of the important links in the production process regulation system. It is a valve that controls the one-way flow of the medium in the pipeline to prevent the medium from flowing back. It is widely used in purification equipment, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, textile and other production processes.

Product features of lift check valve:

1. H41H and H41Y lift-type steel check valves have the advantages of simple structure, reliable action and convenient maintenance.

2. When the medium flows into the valve body from the direction indicated by the arrow of the valve body, the pressure of the medium acts on the valve flap to produce an upward thrust. When the medium thrust is greater than the weight of the valve flap, the valve opens. When the force of the medium pressure acting on the disc after the valve plus the weight of the disc itself is greater than the force of the pressure acting on the disc before the valve, the valve is closed to prevent the medium from flowing back.

Lift check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the valve flap depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back, also known as check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and discharge the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis).

Check valves are also called check valves, check valves, reverse flow valves, and back pressure valves.

The function of the check valve is to only allow the medium to flow in one direction and prevent the reverse flow. Usually this kind of valve works automatically. Under the action of the fluid pressure flowing in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid flows in the opposite direction, the fluid pressure and the self-coincidence of the valve flap act on the valve seat, thereby cutting off the flow. Among them, the internal thread check valve and the butterfly check valve belong to this type of valve.

It includes swing check valve and lift check valve. The swing check valve has a hinge mechanism and a valve flap like a door that rests freely on the inclined valve seat surface. In order to ensure that the valve clack can reach the proper position of the valve seat surface every time, the valve clack is designed in a hinge mechanism so that the valve clack has enough space for rotation and makes the valve clack really contact the valve seat. The valve disc can be made of metal, or inlaid with leather, rubber, or synthetic covering, depending on the performance requirements. When the swing check valve is fully opened, the fluid pressure is almost unimpeded, so the pressure drop through the valve is relatively small. The valve disc of the lift check valve is seated on the sealing surface of the valve seat on the valve body. Except that the disc can be lifted and lowered freely, the rest of this valve is like a shut-off valve. The fluid pressure lifts the disc from the sealing surface of the valve seat, and the backflow of the medium causes the disc to fall back onto the seat and cut off the flow. According to the conditions of use, the valve disc can be an all-metal structure, or it can be in the form of a rubber pad or a rubber ring inlaid on the disc holder. Like a shut-off valve, the passage of fluid through the lift check valve is also narrow, so the pressure drop through the lift check valve is larger than that of the swing check valve, and the flow rate of the swing check valve is restricted Rarely.

The principles and difference between one-way valve and check valve

August 4, 2020

One-way valve is sometimes called a check valve. One-way valve is a device in which fluid can only flow along the

double-wing-check-valve-3

water inlet, but the medium at the outlet cannot flow back. The function of the check valve is to prevent the medium in the pipeline from flowing back. So what is the difference between the two? What is their working principle? Now, Mr. Harry Li from Tanghai Valve will give you a detailed introduction.

The difference between one-way valve and check valve:

One-way valve is a control type One-way valve, and check valve is a non-control type One-way valve. That is: One-way valve is used to provide pressure, and its main function is to maintain pipeline pressure. Although the check valve can also provide this function, it is mainly used to control the return of the medium and does not require pressure. That is: One-way valve has a tendency to control, and check valve is purely natural.

One-way valve means that the fluid can only flow along the water inlet, but the medium at the outlet cannot flow back, commonly known as the One-way valve. One-way valve is a check valve. The installation position of a swing check valve is not restricted. It is usually installed in a horizontal pipeline, but it can also be installed in a vertical pipeline or a dumping pipeline. When installing a check valve, pay special attention to the flow direction of the medium. The normal flow direction of the medium should be consistent with the arrow direction indicated on the valve body, otherwise the normal flow of the medium will be blocked. The bottom valve should be installed at the bottom of the pump suction line. When the check valve is closed, water hammer pressure will be generated in the pipeline. In severe cases, it will cause damage to the valve, pipeline or equipment, especially for large-mouth pipelines or high-pressure pipelines. Therefore, it should cause high attention of the check valve selection. . The check valve is only a one-way opening and closing valve that prevents the backflow of fluid media on various pipelines or equipment.

all types of check valve and structures -code names-photos

1. One-way valve: It is a typical seat valve, One-way valve, also known as check valve or check valve. Used in hydraulic systems to prevent reverse flow of oil flow.

One-way valve has two types: straight type and right angle type. The straight-through One-way valve is installed on the pipeline with a threaded connection. Right-angle One-way valve has three forms: thread connection, plate connection and flange connection. The hydraulically controlled One-way valve is also called a lock valve or a pressure holding valve. It is the same as the One-way valve to prevent the reverse flow of oil. However, when the oil flow is required to flow in the reverse direction in the hydraulic circuit, the oil pressure can be controlled and the One-way valve can be opened so that the oil flow can flow in both directions. The hydraulically controlled One-way valve uses a tapered valve core, so the sealing performance is good. When the oil circuit is required to be closed, this valve can be used as a one-way locking of the oil circuit to maintain pressure. There are two types of hydraulically controlled One-way valve to control oil leakage: internal leakage and external leakage. The internal drain type can be used in the oil circuit with no back pressure at the oil flow reverse outlet; otherwise, the external drain type is required to reduce the control oil pressure.

2. Check valve is only one type of valve, it can be said that One-way valve is a kind of check valve. The check valve is only a one-way opening and closing valve that prevents the backflow of fluid media on various pipelines or equipment.

There are many types of check valves:

(1) Spring type: the liquid is from bottom to top, relying on the pressure to push up the valve flap controlled by the spring. After the pressure disappears, the spring force will press down the valve flap to seal the liquid back flow. Often used for check valves with small diameters.

(2) Gravity type: similar to the spring type, it relies on the self-gravity of the valve flap to close it to prevent backflow.

(3) Swing type: The liquid flows directly through the valve body, and the rotating disc on one side is opened by the pressure. After the pressure is lost, the disc relies on its own weight to return to the position, and the reverse liquid pressure closes the disc.

(4) Other One-way valve (check valve), such as sewage check valve.

The working principle of one-way valve:

The one-way valve only allows airflow to pass in one direction, and is completely closed in the opposite direction. After the air pressure is added to the left side, the air pressure acting on the valve core overcomes the spring force and friction force to open the valve core, and the air inlet and outlet are connected. The flow of airflow from left to right is called forward flow. In order to ensure a stable flow of air from the air inlet to the air outlet, a certain pressure difference should be maintained between the air inlet and outlet to keep the valve in the open position. If air pressure is added to the air outlet, the air cannot flow in and out, that is, the air flow cannot flow in the reverse direction.

The working principle of the check valve;

Check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the valve flap depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back. It is also called check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and discharge the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis).

The function of this type of valve is to only allow the medium to flow in one direction, and to prevent the flow of direction. Usually this kind of valve works automatically. Under the action of the fluid pressure flowing in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid flows in the opposite direction, the fluid pressure and the self-coincidence of the valve flap act on the valve seat, thereby cutting off the flow.

The difference between one-way valve and check valve

August 4, 2020

One-way valve means that the fluid can only flow along the water inlet, and the medium at the water outlet

double-wing-check-valve-3

cannot return. Used in hydraulic systems to prevent reverse flow of oil or pneumatic systems to prevent reverse flow of air. Check valve refers to a valve whose opening and closing parts are circular discs and rely on its own weight and medium pressure to generate actions to block the back flow of the medium. It is an automatic valve.

There are two types of check valves: straight-through and right-angle. The straight-through check valve is installed on the pipeline with a threaded connection. Right-angle check valves have three forms: threaded connection, plate connection and flange connection. Hydraulic control check valve is also called lock valve or pressure maintaining valve. It is the same as check valve to prevent reverse flow of oil. However, when the oil flow is required to flow in the reverse direction in the hydraulic circuit, the oil pressure can be controlled to open the one-way valve so that the oil flow can flow in both directions. The hydraulic control check valve adopts a conical valve core, so the sealing performance is good. When the oil circuit is required to be closed, this valve can be used as a one-way locking of the oil circuit to maintain pressure. There are two types of hydraulically controlled check valve to control oil leakage: internal leakage and external leakage. The internal drain type can be used in the oil circuit where the oil flow reverse outlet has no back pressure; otherwise, the external drain type is required to reduce the control oil pressure.

The check valve can also be used to supply the auxiliary system whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis). The function of this type of valve is to only allow the medium to flow in one direction and prevent the flow in the opposite direction. Usually this kind of valve works automatically. Under the action of the fluid pressure flowing in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid flows in the opposite direction, the fluid pressure and the self-coincidence of the valve flap act on the valve seat, thereby cutting off the flow.

One-way valve is a directional control valve in which air flow can only flow in one direction but not in the reverse direction. Its working principle is the same as the hydraulic one-way valve. Compressed air enters from port P, overcomes the spring force and friction force to open the one-way valve port, and the compressed air flows from P to A; when there is no compressed air at port P, it will be under the action of spring force and remaining force of port A (cavity) ; The valve port is in the closed state, so that the air flow from A to P is blocked. The one-way valve is used in occasions where the air flow is not allowed to flow in the opposite direction. For example, when the air compressor is inflating the air tank, a one-way valve is set between the air compressor and the air tank to prevent the air tank when the air compressor stops working. The compressed air in the air flow is returned to the air compressor. One-way valves are often combined with throttle valves and sequence valves to form one-way throttle valves and one-way sequence valves.

Check valves have a wide range of uses, and there are many types. The following are the check valves commonly used in water supply and heating:

1. Spring type: the liquid is from bottom to top, and the valve clack controlled by the spring is pushed up by the pressure. After the pressure disappears, the spring force pushes down the valve clack to seal the liquid back flow. Often used for check valves with small diameters.

2. Gravity type: Similar to spring type, it is closed by the gravity of the valve disc to prevent backflow.

3. Swing type: The liquid flows directly through the valve body, and the rotating disc on one side is opened by the pressure. After the pressure is lost, the disc relies on its own weight to return to the position, and the reverse liquid pressure closes the disc.

4. Plastic diaphragm type: Both the shell and the diaphragm are plastic. The general shell is ABS, PE, PP, NYLON, PC. The diaphragm includes silicone resin, fluororesin, etc.

In general, the check valve and the check valve are basically the same thing, but there are some differences. The check valve is a controlled check valve, and the check valve is a non-controlled check valve. That is to say, the one-way valve is used to provide pressure, and its main function is to maintain pipeline pressure. Although the check valve can also provide this function, it is mainly used to control the return of the medium and does not require pressure.

The above is about the difference between check valve and check valve. In fact, a check valve is only one type of valve, and a oneway valve is only a type of check valve. It is only a one-way open-close valve that prevents backflow of fluid in various pipelines or equipment. Check valves have a wide range of uses.

What is a single plate check valve

August 3, 2020

Single-plate check valve is also called single-disc check valve, wafer check valve: it is a valve that can automatically

6 single-plate-swing-check-valve-2

prevent fluid backflow. The disc of the check valve is opened under the action of fluid pressure, and the fluid flows from the inlet side to the outlet side. When the pressure on the inlet side is lower than that on the outlet side, the valve flap is automatically closed under the action of the fluid pressure difference, gravity and other factors to prevent the fluid from flowing back. It can be installed horizontally or vertically. For vertical installation, pay attention to the water flow from bottom to top, and pay attention to whether the installation direction is correct.

There are two types of check valves. One is installed at the end of the vertical suction pipe in front of the water pump bai. The purpose is to fill the water pump without pumping water once, because the water pump can only be used when there is no water in the pump and the suction pipe in front of the pump. Idling cannot pump water, so the pump must be filled with water to pump out water. The installation of this pump is a method when it is above the liquid level. It is also called a negative pressure method such as pumping water up from a well. Another way to install the pump is that the liquid level is higher than the pump. This method is generally used for secondary water supply. Because the liquid level is higher than the pump, it is not necessary to close the pump outlet valve when starting and stopping the pump, so the check valve should be installed in the The rear of the water pump.
Whether the check valve is installed before or after the valve does not affect its function.

Precautions for installation of single plate check valve

1. The check valve is a one-way valve, so the installation position, height, and direction of inlet and outlet must meet the design requirements, and the direction of medium flow should be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked on the valve body.

2. Check the appearance before installing the check valve. The nameplate of the valve should comply with the current national standard “General Valve Marking” GB 12220. It can be used after all standards are qualified.

1. Do not allow the check valve in the pipeline to bear weight, especially the large check valve, which should have an independent support and not be affected by the pressure generated by the pipeline.

What is vertical check valve

July 31, 2020

Vertical check valve: Due to the pressure of the medium at the inlet end of the pipeline, the valve can be opened or

silent check valve (3)

closed by overcoming the spring resistance. When the medium pressure at the inlet end is lower than that at the outlet end, the spring pushes the valve core to the valve seat to close the valve, preventing the medium from flowing back, so it plays a role of check. Vertical check valves are widely used in chemical, liquefied petroleum gas, fluid and other industries. According to the structure of the check valve, it can be divided into three types: lift check valve, swing check valve and butterfly check valve.

Introduction of vertical check valve:
Vertical check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back. It is also called check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and discharge the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis).

lift check valve Working principle diagram

The function of this type of valve is to only allow the medium to flow in one direction and to prevent the flow of direction. Usually this kind of valve works automatically. Under the action of the fluid pressure flowing in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid flows in the opposite direction, the fluid pressure and the self-coincidence of the valve flap act on the valve seat, thereby cutting off the flow.

Among them, internal thread check valve and butterfly check valve belong to this type of valve, which includes swing check valve and lift check valve. The swing check valve has a hinge mechanism and a valve disc like a door that rests freely on the inclined valve seat surface. In order to ensure that the valve disc can reach the proper position of the valve seat surface every time, the valve disc is designed in a hinge mechanism so that the valve disc has enough space for turning and makes the valve disc come into contact with the valve seat truly and comprehensively. The valve clack can be made of metal, or inlaid with leather, rubber, or synthetic covering, depending on the performance requirements. When the swing check valve is fully opened, the fluid pressure is almost unimpeded, so the pressure drop through the valve is relatively small. The disc of the lift check valve is located on the sealing surface of the valve seat on the valve body. Except that the disc can be raised and lowered freely, the rest of the valve is like a shut-off valve. The fluid pressure lifts the disc from the seat sealing surface, and the backflow of the medium causes the disc to fall back onto the seat and cut off the flow. According to the conditions of use, the valve disc can be an all-metal structure, or it can be in the form of a rubber pad or a rubber ring embedded in the disc holder. Like a shut-off valve, the passage of fluid through the lift check valve is also narrow, so the pressure drop through the lift check valve is larger than that of the swing check valve, and the flow rate of the swing check valve is restricted Rarely.
