Y-Type Check Valve

The dual plate check valve features two semicircular, spring-loaded valve discs mounted on a central vertical pivot. When the valve opens, the force of the fluid and the spring act at the center of the disc, causing it to open from the base first. This design minimizes wear on the seal during opening, enhancing its durability. As the flow decreases, the discs slowly move back towards the seat due to the spring's force, ensuring a gradual closure. During backflow, the increased force on the discs leads to a faster closure, effectively reducing the risk of water hammer and hydraulic shocks. The spring’s force closes the top end of the disc first, preventing damage at the disc's base and prolonging the seal's lifespan.

When the disc of the lift check valve slides along the vertical center line of the valve body and the medium flows forward, the disc is lifted by the fluid thrust and the medium passes smoothly; When the medium stops flowing or reverse flowing, the valve disc quickly closes under the action of its own gravity and the reverse thrust of the fluid to prevent the medium from flowing back. This valve is usually equipped with a guide sleeve to ensure that the disc remains smooth during lifting and accurately falls back onto the seat.

Stop Check Valve, A multi-purpose valve that functions as both a stop valve and a check valve. Its structure is similar to that of a globe valve, but the stem and disc are not fixed. When the stem is lowered and the disc is pressed tightly on the seat, it acts as a stop valve; After the stem rises, the check valve acts. On lines that require both a stop valve (or gate valve) and a check valve (such as the outlet of a water pump), using a stop check valve can save installation costs and space. In the opening and closing process, because the friction between the valve disc and the sealing surface of the valve body is smaller than that of the gate valve, it is more wear-resistant.

The slow-closing check valve opens and closes the valve disc automatically due to the flow of the medium, and is a type of automatic valve used to prevent the backflow of the medium. It is mainly used to prevent backflow of the medium, prevent the reverse rotation of pumps and drive electric motors, and release the medium in containers. The check valve can also be used in pipelines that supply supplementary pressure to auxiliary systems where the pressure may rise above the system pressure.

RAYS cast steel check valves are designed and manufactured to provide maximum service life and dependability. All check valves meet the design requirements of American Petroleum Institute standard API600 & 6D.BS EN 13709 and generally conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers standard ASME B16.34. Valves are available in a complete range of body/cover materials and trims.
