Check Valve Types and Selection

Compare swing, dual-plate, silent and ball check valves for pump and pipeline protection.

Check Valve Types and Selection

A check valve responds to system dynamics, not an external command. Correct selection depends on velocity, deceleration, head and acceptable pressure loss.

Swing check

Low resistance in steady flow but may close slowly in rapidly reversing systems.

Dual-plate check

Compact wafer construction with spring-assisted plates and reduced travel.

Silent axial check

Short-stroke spring-assisted closure can reduce slam at pump discharge.

System review

Calculate velocity, minimum flow, cracking pressure and transient behaviour before final selection.

Information to include with an enquiry

Provide nominal size, pressure rating, medium, temperature, connection standard, materials, operating method, required testing and project documentation. Greysen will review the duty and confirm the final configuration in the approved data sheet.
