Air Check Valves Specifications
Check valves, also known as non-return valves or one-way valves, are a type of mechanical valve used to control the flow of fluids, including liquids and gases, in a piping system. Their primary function is to allow the flow of fluid in one direction while preventing reverse flow in the opposite direction. Check valves come in various designs and configurations to suit different applications.One-Way Flow
One-way check valves allow fluid to flow in one direction only by preventing backflow, essential in maintaining system integrity and preventing contamination.Automatic Operation
The pressure and fluid rates determine automatic operation for various one-way check valve styles. When the fluid flows in the desired direction, the valve opens, and when the flow reverses, it closes.Minimal Pressure Drop
Check valves are designed to offer minimal resistance to flow when open, ensuring minimal pressure drop across the valve.Numerous Operational Styles
AGB Industries offers various design styles, including disc, ball, wafer disc, double disc wafer, swing, wafer swing, and foot-flanged. The style refers to closing the valve when there is no forward flow. The spring-loaded check valve design is popular for reliable closing capabilities to prevent backflow or fluid reversal.Versatile Materials
Check valves from AGB Industries can be made from AISI 304 and 316 stainless steel, brass, cast iron, and plastic to suit different applications and fluid compatibility requirements.Applications & Industries Served
Selecting the correct check valve for a specific application depends on factors such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, material compatibility, and installation requirements. Proper maintenance and periodic inspection are essential to ensure the reliable operation of check valves in a piping system.Check valves are widely used in various industries, wherever preventing backflow or ensuring unidirectional flow is essential for system safety and efficiency. Common industrial applications include:
