Pressure Seal Swing Check Valves

Pressure seal swing check valves use the line pressure itself to load the bonnet gasket, which is why power and high-pressure process plants use them where bolted-bonnet construction would need heavy flanges. The range covers DN65 to DN350 at Class 1500 to Class 2500, with body, disc and hinge in WCB, WC1, WC6 or WC9 and A105/F22 seats on an SS316-plus-graphite gasket. Design follows API 6D and ASME B16.34 with ASME B16.10 face-to-face and B16.5/B16.47/B16.25 connection dimensions. Selection turns on class against the header pressure and the chromium-molybdenum body grade against steam temperature.
