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.
Engineered to International StandardsOur Class 900 Swing Check Valves adhere to stringent international standards, including ASME B16.34, API 6D, and API 598 for testing. Every valve is constructed with precise dimensions and rigorous inspection protocols to ensure safety, reliability, and consistent operation in the harshest industrial settings.
Versatile Design for Demanding ApplicationsAvailable in a wide range of sizes (DN50 to DN600) and constructed from robust materials like carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, this valve offers flexibility across various industries. Its straight pattern and bolted bonnet further enhance durability and ease of maintenance, making it an optimal solution for water, oil, and gas transfer.
Superior Flow Protection and EfficiencyThe swing-type, non-return mechanism ensures reliable prevention of reverse flow, protecting pumps and piping systems. With options for coated or painted surfaces, and customizable trim materials such as 13Cr or F6a, maintenance is minimized, and lifespan is extended, resulting in lower operational costs and greater long-term efficiency.
FAQ's of Class 900 Swing Check Valve:
Q: How does the Class 900 Swing Check Valve prevent backflow in fluid systems?
A: This swing-type check valve features a disc that opens with forward flow and closes automatically if flow reverses, thereby preventing backflow and protecting system integrity in water, oil, or gas applications.
Q: What industries are best suited for the installation of this swing check valve?
A: The valve is ideal for use in petroleum refining, chemical processing, power generation, and other heavy industries that require reliable one-way flow control under high-pressure conditions.
Q: When should you choose a flanged versus a butt welded end connection?
A: Flanged connections are suitable for systems requiring easy installation and regular maintenance access, while butt welded ends offer a more permanent, leak-resistant connection for higher integrity in critical applications.
Q: Where can the Class 900 Swing Check Valve be installed within a facility?
A: It is typically installed in main pipelines, pump discharge lines, or any area where prevention of reverse flow is crucial, such as transfer lines in oil, gas, and water service systems.
Q: What is the manufacturing and testing process for this valve?
A: Valves are manufactured following ASME B16.34 and API 6D standards for design and dimensions, and undergo strict pressure and leakage testing in compliance with API 598 to verify quality and performance.
Q: How does the choice of materials affect valve performance and longevity?
A: Selecting body and disc materials such as carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel ensures compatibility with the process media, enhances corrosion resistance, and prolongs the operational life of the valve even under high temperature and pressure environments.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the Class 900 Swing Check Valve?
A: Key benefits include robust flow protection, durable construction for harsh operating conditions, minimal maintenance requirements, high-pressure performance, and compliance with global industry standards. This ensures both safety and reliability in demanding process environments.
