- Axial Check Valve Design Features
- Axial Flow Path – Streamlined, straight‑through design with minimal pressure drop compared to conventional swing or lift check valves.
- Non‑Slamming Operation – Spring‑assisted disc returns to seat before flow reversal occurs, eliminating water hammer and noise.
- Centre‑Guided Disc – Accurate alignment, low wear, and stable operation even at low flow velocities.
- Compact Wafer Design – Short face‑to‑face length, lightweight, easy to install between existing flanges.
- Bidirectional or Unidirectional – Standard design is unidirectional; optional double‑directional available.
- Low Opening Pressure – Spring rate optimized for low cracking pressure (typically 0.02 – 0.05 MPa), suitable for pump protection.
- Performance Characteristics
Characteristic | Value |
Cracking Pressure | ≤ 0.03 MPa (0.3 bar) for standard spring |
Maximum Operating Pressure | 4.0 MPa (PN40) |
Maximum Operating Temperature | 425°C (with graphite seals) |
Leakage Rate | Zero leakage (soft seat) / Class IV (metal seat) |
Flow Coefficient (Cv) | High – typically >0.8 x pipe Cv due to streamlined design |
- Toepassingen
- Pump discharge protection (water, oil, chemical pumps)
- Boiler feedwater systems
- Compressed air and gas lines
- HVAC and district heating
- Refining and petrochemical plants
- Marine and offshore (with stainless steel body)
- Testing & Compliance
Test | Standard / Requirement |
Shell Test | 1.5 × PN40 (6.0 MPa) – no leakage |
Seat Test (low pressure) | 0.6 MPa (6 bar) – per API 598 |
Seat Test (high pressure) | 1.1 × PN40 (4.4 MPa) – zero leakage for soft seat |
Hydrostatic strength | EN 12266‑1 / API 598 |
Material Traceability | EN 10204 3.1 (optional) |
Marking | EN 19 / MSS SP‑25 |
- Advantages Over Conventional Check Valves
Feature | Axial Check Valve | Swing / Lift Check Valve |
Pressure drop | Very low | Moderate to high |
Water hammer | Virtually eliminated | Common (disc slams) |
Installation orientation | Horizontal or vertical (flow upward) | Usually horizontal |
Cracking pressure | Low (0.03 MPa) | Higher (0.05 – 0.1 MPa) |
Space required | Short face‑to‑face | Longer |
- 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.
GARANTIE:
SAVVY VALVES streeft naar uitzonderlijke productkwaliteit en zorgeloze aftersalesservice. Onze kleppen hebben een gegarandeerde minimale levensduur van 12 maanden. Gedurende deze periode leveren wij alle benodigde reserveonderdelen en gedetailleerde onderhoudsinstructies gratis.
