Stainless Steel/Carbon Steel Flange Lift Check Valve
Product Description
Stainless steel/carbon steel flange lift check valves are automatic valves designed to prevent reverse flow in pipelines. Utilizing disc weight and medium pressure for unidirectional flow control, they are ideal for high-pressure or corrosive media systems in water treatment, petrochemical, power generation, pharmaceutical, and related industries. Below is a detailed product description:
Core Structure & Operating Principle
1. Structural Components
- Body & Bonnet: Constructed from stainless steel (304, 316, 316L) or carbon steel (WCB, WCC), with optional anti-corrosion coatings (e.g., galvanizing for carbon steel).
- Disc (Valve Core): Stainless steel or PTFE-coated design; sealing surfaces are hard-faced with wear-resistant alloys (e.g., Stellite) to withstand erosion.
-Guidance System: Precision-machined guide sleeves ensure vertical disc movement, preventing jamming or misalignment.
- Flange Connection: Complies with ANSI, DIN, JIS standards;
flange face types (RF/FF) match pipeline pressure ratings.
2. Operating Principle
- Forward Flow: Medium pressure lifts the disc, opening the valve.
-Reverse/Zero Flow: Disc closes rapidly under gravity and backpressure, blocking backflow.
Technical Specifications
- Nominal Diameter (DN): DN15-DN600 (covers standard industrial pipeline sizes).
- Pressure Rating: PN10-PN40 (or Class 150-Class 300);
- Temperature Range:
Stainless Steel: -29°C to 425°C (varies with material and seals).
Carbon Steel: -29°C to 350°C (requires anti-corrosion coating).
- Compatible Media: Water, steam, oils, weak acids/alkalis, gases (material compatibility required).
Key Features
1. Reliable Backflow Prevention
Vertical lift design ensures rapid response to reverse flow, protecting pumps, compressors, and other equipment.
2. Corrosion Resistance & Durability
- Stainless steel suits corrosive environments; coated carbon steel extends service life.
- Hard-sealed structure withstands high temperatures, pressure, and particle erosion.
3. Low Flow Resistance
Straight-through flow path minimizes pressure drop, reducing energy consumption.
4. Easy Maintenance
Flange connections allow quick disassembly; removable bonnet facilitates disc cleaning/replacement.
Applications
- Water Treatment Systems: Pump outlets, backflow prevention in supply/drainage networks.
- Petrochemical & Energy: Crude oil/gas pipelines, refining installations.
- Power Generation: Boiler feedwater, steam systems.
- Pharmaceutical/Food: Clean media pipelines (requires SS 316L with electropolished finish).
Selection Guide
1. Material Selection
- Stainless Steel: For corrosive media (acids/alkalis), sanitary applications (food/pharma).
- Carbon Steel: Non-corrosive media (water, oil, steam), cost-sensitive projects.
2. Critical Parameters
- Specify media type, temperature/pressure range, DN size, and flange standard (e.g., ANSI B16.5).
- Custom options: Austenitic stainless steel for cryogenic conditions (-196°C); guide sleeves for particle-laden media.
Installation & Maintenance
1. Installation
- Align valve body arrow with medium flow direction; **reverse installation is strictly prohibited**.
- Suitable for horizontal/vertical pipelines, but disc axis must remain vertical.
2. Maintenance
- Regularly inspect sealing surfaces for wear and remove debris from the valve cavity.
- Check coating integrity on carbon steel valves in humid environments to prevent rust.
3. Precautions
- Avoid rapid cycling or high-velocity backflow to prevent disc damage.
- Gradually start/stop systems to mitigate water hammer effects.
