How to choose a right check valve? -Belo Valve

Check valve, also called non return valve, back water valve, one way valve, back flow valve, back pressure valve, cut off valve, is used to prevent the back flow of medium in pipelines. The bottom valve(foot valve) installed in the suction end of the water pump is also one kind of check valve. 

The valve which opens or closes itself by the flow force of the medium and the weight of the disc to prevent the back flow of the medium is called a check valve( also known as one way valve, non return valve, back water valve, back pressure valve, or cut off valve). the check valve belongs to the automatic valve, which is mainly used in pipelines where the medium flows in one direction, and the check valve only allows the medium to flow in one direction, to prevent accidents. 

the most common types of check valve:

According to their structural difference, check valve can be divided into three types: lifting type check valve, swing type check valve, and wafer butterfly type check valve. (Belo Valve, one professional manufacturer for lifting type check valve, swing type check valve, wafer butterfly type check valve, and other industrial valves).

Lift check valve can be divided into vertical lift check valve and horizontal lift check valve; swing type check valve can be divided into three types: dingle disc swing type check valve, dual disc swing type check valve, multi disc swing type check valve; butterfly type check valve is one kind of straight through check valve. 

According to their connection methods, check valve has threaded connection check valve, flange connection check valve, and welded connection check valve. 

Installation instructions of check valve: 

1. Do not place weight on the check valves in the pipeline. Large diameter check valve should be independently supported so that they are not affected by the pressure generated by the piping systems. 
2. When installing check valves, pay attention to that the flow direction of medium should be consistent with the direction of the arrow on the valve body; 
3. lifting vertical disc check valve should be installed on vertical pipelines. 
4. Lift horizontal flap check valve should be installed on horizontal pipe lines.
