Its flanged end connections facilitate straightforward integration with existing piping setups, while the rubber or gasket seal ensures a leak-proof, maintenance-friendly solution for medium-pressure conditions.
Versatile Sizing and Manual OperationWith available sizes ranging from 50 mm to 300 mm, the valve is suitable for various pipe diameters and complexities in industrial settings. Manual actuation prioritizes simplicity and dependability, delivering reliable performance without the need for external power sources, even under temperature conditions up to 120C.
FAQs of SQK Swing Type Swing Check Valve:
Q: How does the SQK Swing Type Swing Check Valve prevent backflow in pipeline systems?
A: The valve utilizes a swing-type disc mechanism, which automatically closes when reverse flow is detected, preventing backflow of water, oil, or gas through the system. This non-return operation safeguards sensitive equipment and ensures unidirectional flow.
Q: What installation process is recommended for the SQK Swing Type Swing Check Valve?
A: The valve features flanged end connections, allowing for easy bolting onto existing pipelines. It should be installed in horizontal or vertical positions where the flow is upwards, ensuring correct operation and longevity. Follow IS:5312 standard guidelines during installation.
Q: When should I consider using a Swing Type Swing Check Valve in an industrial application?
A: This valve is ideal whenever you need dependable backflow prevention in medium-pressure industrial pipeline systems, particularly for water, oil, or gas media. Use it when non-return and durability are priorities in your pipeline design.
Q: Where can the SQK Swing Type Swing Check Valve be applied?
A: It is suitable for integration in industrial pipe systems across sectors like water treatment, petroleum refining, chemical processing, and gas distribution, thanks to its robust cast iron construction and compatibility with multiple media types.
Q: What benefits does the SQK Swing Type Swing Check Valve offer compared to other non-return valves?
A: Its full bore, cast iron construction ensures minimal flow resistance and high durability. The blue painted finish protects against corrosion, while the rubber/gasket seal delivers leak-proof reliability. Additionally, compliance with IS:5312 ensures quality and industry-standard performance.
Q: How should the valve be maintained for optimal performance?
A: Regular inspection for seal integrity and cleanliness of the swing disc is advised. Lubricate hinge mechanisms as needed and check for any build-up of debris or corrosion. The painted surface and gasket seal help minimize routine maintenance efforts.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this valve, and does it suit high-temperature applications?
A: The SQK Swing Check Valve is designed to handle working temperatures up to 120C, making it well-suited for most medium-temperature industrial applications but not for high-temperature steam or thermal oil systems exceeding this limit.
