Cast steel ASME B16.34 Swing Check Valves Pressure Seal Bonnet design
The ASME B16.34 Swing Check, and Y Type Swing Check Valves feature a pressure seal bonnet design for high-pressure services. These valves are extensively used in high pressure and high-temperature steam, oil, gas, chemical, and water applications in thermal power plants, fertilizer plants, petrochemical plants, and refineries. These valves are available in butt weld ends in pressure ratings of Classes 900, 1500 and 2500, and come in carbon steel and alloy steel construction.
High Performance & Robust DesignOur Buttweld End Swing Check Valve is built to provide superior performance and reliability in demanding environments. Constructed using ASTM A351 Gr. CF8 / CF8M stainless steel, this valve is engineered to withstand corrosive media and high pressures. Its durable, leak-proof structure and polished or shot-blasted surface guarantee long-lasting service in critical oil, gas, and industrial applications.
Wide Operating Range & ComplianceEngineered to meet global standards such as ASME B16.34, API 6D, and BS1868, the valve operates efficiently across a temperature spectrum from -29C to 425C and pressure up to PN16 / Class 150. The face-to-face dimensions conform to ANSI B16.10, ensuring compatibility and interchangeability with industrial systems.
Precision in Flow Control & UseWith a swing-type structure and buttweld end, this check valve automatically prevents reverse flow, protecting equipment integrity. It is ideal for water, oil, and gas media, providing reliable service in pipelines with port sizes from 2 inch to 24 inch (DN50 - DN600). The valve's polished finish enhances resistance to wear and corrosion for extended usage.
FAQ's of Buttweld End Swing Check Valve:
Q: How does a Buttweld End Swing Check Valve operate?
A: This swing check valve functions as a non-return device, allowing flow in only one direction. When fluid flows forward, it pushes the disc open. When flow reverses or stops, the disc swings back to its closed position, automatically preventing backflow without manual intervention.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of this valve?
A: The valve body is crafted from ASTM A351 Grade CF8 or CF8M stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and structural durability. The disc is made from stainless steel, while seat options include both metal-to-metal and soft seated designs for optimal sealing.
Q: Where can this swing check valve be installed?
A: Designed for industrial pipeline systems, it is widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, and utility industries across India and global markets. Typical installation points include pipeline segments requiring non-return flow control for water, oil, or gas media.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this check valve?
A: Key advantages are its leak-proof sealing, high corrosion resistance, durable stainless steel construction, and automatic non-return operation. The valve's compliance with major standards assures safety and compatibility, while its polished surface offers extended wear life.
Q: When should this valve be used in a pipeline system?
A: It should be used where prevention of reverse flow is crucial, such as protecting pumps, compressors, and critical equipment from backflow. It is especially suitable for systems operating at pressures up to Class 150 and temperatures down to -29C and up to 425C.
Q: What is the process for installing a Buttweld End Swing Check Valve?
A: The valve is installed by welding its buttweld ends directly onto the corresponding pipe ends, ensuring strong, leak-proof joints. Proper alignment is essential to maintain effective non-return operation and system integrity.
Q: How does the valve ensure leak-proof performance?
A: The swing check valve utilizes precision-engineered seatings-either metal or soft-as per application needs, conforming to API 598 leakage class standards. Rigorous testing guarantees tight sealing, minimizing the risk of leaks during operation.
