FAQ's of SQK A182 FSS16 Stainless Steel Swing Check Valve:
Q: How is the SQK A182 FSS16 Stainless Steel Swing Check Valve installed in an industrial pipeline system?
A: This valve is installed using its flanged ends, which are bolted to the corresponding flanged connections on the pipeline. Correct alignment of the valve ensures efficient swing operation and bubble-tight sealing, accommodating sizes from 1/2 inch to 6 inch as per system requirements.
Q: What benefits does the full bore design of this swing check valve provide?
A: A full bore design allows unrestricted flow through the valve, minimizing pressure loss and maximizing efficiency. This setup is ideal for processes requiring consistent, high-volume throughput in water, oil, or gas applications.
Q: Where can the SQK A182 FSS16 Swing Check Valve be used effectively?
A: It is suitable for industrial fluid control systems, especially in sectors handling water, oil, or gas. Common usage includes manufacturing plants, processing units, and utility infrastructure throughout India.
Q: What makes the valve's leakage rate and sealing performance reliable?
A: The valve offers zero leakage (bubble tight) by using precisely machined stainless steel discs and forged body. It passes stringent hydrostatic and seal test pressures of up to 24 Bar, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding conditions.
Q: When is it necessary to use a check valve like this in fluid handling systems?
A: A swing check valve is required whenever there is a need to prevent backflow and protect equipment such as pumps, compressors, or tanks. It automatically blocks reverse flow, reducing the risk of system damage and contamination.
Q: How does the manual operation feature benefit maintenance and control?
A: Manual swing check valves simplify inspection and maintenance. Operators can easily access and monitor valve functionality without complex controls, ensuring quick adjustments and system reliability.
Q: What process does the valve utilize to achieve zero leakage?
A: The valve employs a swing check mechanism with a full-sized stainless steel disc that tightly seals against the valve seat upon flow reversal. Its precision engineering and material selection result in bubble-tight shutoff, verified by rigorous pressure testing.
