High-Pressure Swing Check Valve
Duplex Stainless Steel 4A Cast Steel Check Valve
Product Overview & Key Features
High-Strength Duplex Stainless Steel Construction:
Manufactured from Duplex Stainless Steel F51 (UNS S31803/S32205) / 4A, the valve offers superior mechanical strength and pressure resistance, approximately twice that of 316/316L stainless steel, enabling a compact yet robust design for demanding service conditions.
Automatic, Reliable Backflow Prevention:
The check valve is engineered to automatically prevent reverse flow, protecting pumps, compressors, and pipeline systems. Its efficient flow path minimizes pressure drop while ensuring rapid and stable closure upon flow reversal.
Corrosion & Erosion Resistant:
The duplex microstructure delivers excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and erosion caused by high-velocity fluids—making it suitable for aggressive, chloride-rich environments.
Durable Seating & Tight Shut-Off:
Precision-machined seating surfaces ensure dependable leak-tight performance. Optional resilient or metal-to-metal seat configurations are available to meet various operating conditions.
2. Pressure & Temperature Performance
Engineered for critical high-pressure and corrosive applications.
Pressure Class: ANSI / ASME Class 150 to 2500
Temperature Range: -46°C to +315°C (-50°F to +600°F), depending on trim and seat material
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent long-term resistance to seawater, brine, sour gas, and chemical media
3. Design & Technical Specifications
Body Type: Cast steel body design with stable flow geometry
End Connections: Flanged RF/RTJ, Butt Weld (BW)
Disc Options: Swing type, Dual-plate wafer type, or Piston check
Bonnet Options: Bolted bonnet or pressure seal bonnet for high-pressure service
