  1. Axial Check Valve Design Features
  1. Axial Flow Path – Streamlined, straight‑through design with minimal pressure drop compared to conventional swing or lift check valves.
  2. Non‑Slamming Operation – Spring‑assisted disc returns to seat before flow reversal occurs, eliminating water hammer and noise.
  3. Centre‑Guided Disc – Accurate alignment, low wear, and stable operation even at low flow velocities.
  4. Compact Wafer Design – Short face‑to‑face length, lightweight, easy to install between existing flanges.
  5. Bidirectional or Unidirectional – Standard design is unidirectional; optional double‑directional available.
  6. Low Opening Pressure – Spring rate optimized for low cracking pressure (typically 0.02 – 0.05 MPa), suitable for pump protection.

  1. Ordering Information

Please specify:

  • Valve size: DN80
  • Pressure rating: PN40
  • Connection type: Flanged RF
  • Body material: WCB / CF8M / Ductile Iron
  • Seat type: Metal / Soft (PTFE)
  • Spring material: 316 SS / Inconel
  • Special requirements: Low cracking pressure, high temperature (>400°C), NACE, etc.

Notes:

  • Axial check valves are bidirectional only if specially ordered; standard design is unidirectional (flow direction arrow on body).
  • Wafer type requires appropriate flange bolting length (longer than standard due to valve body thickness).
  • For high‑temperature steam service (above 350°C), a metal‑seated version with flexible graphite seals is mandatory.
  • Dimensions and weights are typical; confirm with manufacturer drawings.
