Swing Check Flanged Valves

Swing Check Flanged Valve

Swing check valves have a solid thermoplastic body with a large “flapper” that seats against the body of the valve. Swing check valves offer a large fluid area with a removable bonnet that allows for the valve body to be cleaned out without removing the valve from the pipeline. This is beneficial for installations that may contain debris or other items that could potentially clog the valve. Check valves are used in applications where it is essential to ensure fluid flow passes in only one direction. Check valves can be mounted in vertical or horizontal directions, with the only restriction being a minimum back-pressure required to properly seat the check valve. Spring assists and lever and weight mechanisms are available options to assist in closing the valve quicker to reduce water hammer concerns.

EL-PVDF Swing Check Valve

Asahi/America also offers the EL-PVDF swing check valve option. The EL-PVDF swing check valve for use in electrolysis plants in high temperature sodium hypochlorite, chlorine gas, brine, and hydrofluoric acid applications. The purpose of the EL-PVDF material is to prevent the generation of blistering or cracking that can occur in conventional PVDF during electrolysis production. EL-PVDF has been designed to achieve 2-5 times the normal life expectancy when compared to conventional PVDF in electrolysis applications. EL-PVDF performs in the most severe working conditions. Valves that are continually exposed to near maximum material working temperature limits for extended periods of time, especially in the production of chlorine, are the intended application target. Typical applications include, chlorine manufacturers, steel pickling lines, and pulp and paper manufacturing.
