A check valve, also known as a non-return or one-way valve, is an automatic valve that allows fluid to flow in one direction, preventing backflow. Key features include:
One-Way Flow: Ensures fluid flows in a single direction.
Automatic Operation: Functions based on fluid pressure without external control.
Backflow Prevention: Critical in systems where reverse flow could cause damage or contamination.
Types of Check Valves:
Swing Check Valve: Features a hinged disc that allows forward flow and closes to stop reverse flow. Common in water systems with low-pressure loss.
Y-Spring Check Valve: Y-shaped with a spring mechanism for efficient flow and reliable backflow prevention, used in water treatment and industrial processes.
Spring Vertical Check Valve: A spring-loaded valve in a vertical position, ideal for pumps and low flow rate applications.
