Superior Non-Return Flow ControlDesigned as a swing type non-return valve, the SQK A217 CA15 check valve allows fluid to flow in only one direction, automatically preventing backflow. Its robust swing disc mechanism is activated solely by the flow of media, ensuring reliable, maintenance-friendly operation in demanding environments.
Built for Demanding ApplicationsConstructed from ASTM A217 Gr. CA15 cast alloy steel and finished with anti-corrosive paint, this valve offers exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. It performs optimally in oil, gas, petrochemical, and power plant applications, handling a wide range of temperatures and pressures with consistent reliability.
Quality Tested and CertifiedEach valve meets stringent international standards including ASME B16.34 for construction and API 598 for performance testing. It guarantees a high level of leak-proof integrity and is supplied in export standard wooden boxes to ensure safe transport and storage.
FAQ's of SQK A217 CA15 Cast Alloy Steel Swing Check Valve:
Q: How does the SQK A217 CA15 Swing Check Valve operate?
A: This valve operates automatically using a swing disc mechanism. When fluid flows in the correct direction, the disc swings open, allowing passage. If the flow reverses, the disc swings shut, blocking backflow and protecting the pipeline and equipment.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a CA15 cast alloy steel swing check valve?
A: CA15 cast alloy steel provides high corrosion resistance and durability, making these valves suitable for harsh environments. The swing design ensures reliable non-return operation, while compliance with international standards ensures performance and safety.
Q: Where is the SQK A217 CA15 check valve typically installed?
A: This valve is commonly used in pipelines for oil, gas, petrochemical, and power plant applications. It is suitable wherever automatic prevention of reverse flow is needed, handling water, oil, or gas media effectively.
Q: What is the testing and certification process for this valve?
A: The valve is tested in accordance with API 598 standards for leakage and ASME B16.34 for pressure and construction quality. Each valve undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets international reliability and safety requirements before shipment.
Q: When should I choose a metal-seated swing check valve like the SQK A217 CA15?
A: Select a metal-seated swing check valve when you require durability against abrasive or corrosive media, and where operating temperatures or pressures are elevated. Its metal seat offers longevity and resistance to wear compared to soft-seated designs.
Q: What size and pressure options are available for this valve?
A: The SQK A217 CA15 swing check valve is available in port sizes ranging from 2 inches to 24 inches (DN50-DN600) and is rated for pressure classes spanning 150 to 600, making it adaptable to various system requirements.
Q: How is the valve packaged and shipped?
A: Each valve is securely packed in an export standard wooden box, ensuring safe handling and transportation to your installation site. This packaging supports safe global distribution and minimizes the risk of damage during transit.
