Wafer Check Valve

Class : 

PN16

A wafer type check valve pn16 is a type of industrial valve that is designed to prevent backflow in a pipeline. The valve is typically made of cast steel, which is a durable and strong material that can withstand high pressure and temperature.

The wafer type design of the valve means that it is compact and can be installed between two flanges in a pipeline without the need for additional support. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited or where weight is a concern.

The check valve works by allowing fluid to flow in one direction but preventing it from flowing back in the opposite direction. This is achieved through the use of a disc or a ball that is held in place by a spring or a weighted lever. When the pressure on the upstream side of the valve exceeds the pressure on the downstream side, the disc or ball is pushed aside, allowing the fluid to flow through the valve. When the pressure on the downstream side exceeds the pressure on the upstream side, the disc or ball is pushed back into place, preventing backflow.

Cast steel wafer type check valves are commonly used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment. They are available in a range of sizes and pressure ratings to suit different applications and can be operated manually or with the use of an actuator for remote control.
