The Working Principle of the Check Valve

 Rubber Flap Check Valve


Rubber Flap Check Valve


The parts design is mainly composed of three main parts: valve body, valve cover and rubber flap. The rubber flap in the valve is made of steel plate, steel rod and reinforced nylon cloth as the substrate, and the outer layer is covered with rubber. The valve flap has a life of up to 1 million times. The H44X (SFCV) series rubber flap check valve adopts a full flow area design, which has the characteristics of small head loss, not easy to accumulate debris, and easy maintenance. It is mainly suitable for horizontal installation of water supply and drainage system, and can be installed at the outlet of the water pump to prevent backflow and water hammer from damaging the pump. The H44X (SFCV) series rubber flap check valve can also be installed on the bypass pipe of the water inlet and outlet pipes of the reservoir to prevent the pool water from flowing back into the water supply system.

 

The Working Principle of the Check Valve


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, also known as check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve and back pressure valve. The check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and the drive motor from reversing, and the discharge of the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines where the pressure of the auxiliary system 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 check 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.

Among them, the check valve belongs 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 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 turning and makes the valve clack truly and comprehensively contact the valve seat. The valve clack can be made of metal, or it can be 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 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 clack can be an all-metal structure, or it can be in the form of a rubber pad or a rubber ring inlaid on the valve clack frame. 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.

Types of Metal Seat Gate Valves

According to the sealing surface configuration, it can be divided into wedge gate valve and parallel gate valve. Wedge gate valve can be divided into: single gate, double gate and elastic gate; parallel gate valve can be divided into single gate Plate type and double gate type. Divided according to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into two types: open stem gate valve and dark stem gate valve. 【 Resilient Seat Gate Valve 】 For industrial valves, the opening and closing parts of soft-sealed gate valves are gates. The movement direction of the gates is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The gate valves can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. [Principle of Resilient Seat] The resilient seat l gate valve is divided into two types: bright-stem resilient seat gate valve and dark-stem resilient seat gate valve. Usually there is a trapezoidal thread on the lifting rod, through the nut in the middle of the gate and the gui...

What is a knife gate valve?

Knife gate valves are designed primarily for on/off and isolation service in systems with high suspended solids content. Knife gate valves are particularly suitable for handling slurry, viscous, corrosive and abrasive media. These valves have minimal pressure drop in the fully open position, they are easy to start, they have a relatively low weight and are cost effective.   When are knife gate valves used? Knife gate valves are commonly used in mining , power plants and in the paper, chemical and food industries. Knife gate valves have the advantage of being very compact due to the linear movement of the closing flap (the plate that stops the flow of fluid in the closed position). The knife gate valve is primarily a globe valve, although it can also be used as a control valve when the flapper valve is in the partially open position. Knife gate valves can be used for fluids containing solid particles, such as waste water or sludge. Generally, knife gate valves are designed to seal o...

Midline (concentric) The structural characteristics of the midline Centerline (concentric) The structural feature of the centerline is that the shaft center of the valve stem , the center of the gate, and the center of the body are in the same position. The structure is simple and the manufacturing is convenient. Common rubber linings belong to this category. The disadvantage is that the gate and the valve seat are always in a state of squeezing and scratching, large resistance distance, and fast wear. In order to overcome squeezing, scratching, and to ensure the sealing performance, the valve seat is basically made of elastic materials such as rubber, but the sealing material is also limited by temperature in use, which is why people traditionally think that it is not resistant to high temperatures. Applicable to the pipelines of petroleum, chemical, food, medicine, paper, water and electricity, ships, water supply, drainage, smelting and energy, etc., and can be used in a variety of ...
