Tap water tank with vertical and horizontal check valve.
Extrusion includes seat and plate or piston designed to prevent the valve slamming. Additional material added to the seat produces two extrusion zones. Try to squeeze the fluid out of these areas and slow down the valve during rapid closing. But there is a price to pay for that. The limited gap increase region is an ideal site for collecting small solid particles. The squeeze pressure protection for controlled closure, due to the collection of solids, may cause additional problems, unless the gap is sufficiently extruded, the solids can be ejected. A narrow seal may shatter a fragile solid, such as coal. The extrusion zone tends to expand the width of the available valve seat and reduce the ability of the valve to crush solids. This effect must be considered, taking into account all the characteristics of the related solids.
Look at your pipe installation position, if it is vertical, of course, the vertical check valve is good, if it is horizontal, of course, choose a horizontal check valve.The function of the check valve is to ensure the flow of the fluid in one direction. The moving parts are usually pressed against the seat to form a seal. Small pressure must be applied to moving parts to open the valve. Once opened, fluid power is generated to allow the valve to open or increase opening. Before the valve closes, fluid flow must stop. Fluid power generated by fluid flow prevents all valves from closing. The spring can be used or not to control the opening and to close it. Some check valves rely solely on gravity to provide closing force. Valves that rely on gravity must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. If horizontal pipes are laid, the slope of a short distance local pipe must be changed.The swing check valve is powered by gravity. When the valve is opened, the force required to control the valve opening is increased. If the balance between disc weight and fluid dynamic force is incorrect, the valve will not be fully opened. Increasing flow speed may cause unexpected corrosion or erosion damage, so gravity driven valves must be used to meet operating conditions.When the valve is fully opened, the disc or piston stroke must be limited by the stopper. Fully open valve, but not limited, the valve is easy to vibration. Vibration may cause hinge pins or pistons to wear rapidly. Valves using springs may suffer from early spring faults (caused by fatigue). Vibration may be caused by vortices or disturbances. When the fluid has some viscosity, the fluid damping can control the vibration. Valves with springs may be fitted with different rigid springs. If the full stroke stops, including extrusion, to prevent backlash after rapid opening, this can be an effective vibration damper.
Ball valves usually have very narrow seats, and may remove solids and make seating more efficient.The problem of vibration may be limited to small valves. When the valve is large, the inertia of the moving parts increases. The increased inertia may effectively damp the vibration and cause delayed closing, after the backflow has started. The damping of the seat becomes very important.All valves must check the flow path area and calculate the flow velocity for the design operating conditions. The area of the disc and piston is as important as the area of the main orifice. The smaller runner areas are corrosion prone and may cause cavitation wear.For specific functions, the valve body of the check may include auxiliary connections such as vents and drains. Hot applied valves may sometimes have a bypass valve to allow the system to warm up at low flow.
