Industrial Check Valves Engineered for Critical Flow Control
DN15-DN600 | PN10-PN420 | -196°C to +550°C | Multi-Standard Compliance
Four Critical System Failures Caused by Improper Backflow Control
Engineering consequences when check valves are underspecified or incorrectly selected
Backflow Contamination
Reverse flow carries contaminated media back into clean zones, compromising product quality and creating cross-contamination risks in process systems.
Water Hammer Damage
Sudden flow reversal generates shock waves exceeding 10 bar, causing pipe rupture, equipment failure, and catastrophic system damage.
Pump Overload
Backflow forces pumps to work against reverse pressure, leading to motor burnout, bearing failure, and unplanned maintenance shutdowns.
Energy Waste
Unchecked reverse flow wastes pumping energy as fluid flows backward, increasing operational costs and reducing overall system efficiency by 15-30%.
Prevent these failures with properly engineered check valve solutions
What is a Check Valve? Engineering Principle Explained
Forward Flow Operation
When system pressure exceeds cracking pressure, the disc lifts automatically, allowing forward flow with minimal pressure drop. The valve body guides media through optimized flow path, maintaining system efficiency.
Instant Closure Mechanism
The moment forward flow stops or reverses, differential pressure immediately forces the disc against the seat. Spring assistance and gravity ensure rapid closure within milliseconds.
Backflow Prevention Function
The sealed disc-seat interface creates a pressure barrier that blocks reverse flow completely. Metal-to-metal or soft-seal contact maintains zero leakage under backpressure.

6 Critical Failures from Incorrect Check Valve Selection
Engineering decision cascade: how one wrong parameter leads to system-wide consequences
Wrong Pressure Rating
Selecting PN16 for PN25 system causes seat failure, external leakage, and potential safety incidents under peak pressure conditions.
Incorrect Material Selection
Using carbon steel in corrosive media accelerates erosion, reducing valve lifespan from 10 years to 6 months and contaminating the process.
Oversized Valve Body
DN100 valve in DN50 low-flow system fails to generate cracking pressure, allowing constant backflow and defeating the valve's purpose entirely.
Wrong Structure Type
Installing swing check valve in vertical pipeline prevents proper disc closure, causing continuous leakage and pump cycling damage.
Temperature Mismatch
Standard EPDM seals in 200°C steam service degrade within hours, causing catastrophic leakage and emergency system shutdown.
Non-Compliant Standards
Using non-certified valves in regulated projects results in inspection failure, project delays, and complete valve replacement at 3x cost.
