Check valves are generally installed in pipelines to prevent backflow. A check valve is basically a one-way valve, in which the flow can run freely one way, but if the flow turns, the valve will close to protect the piping, other valves, pumps etc.

Check valves are generally installed in pipelines to prevent backflow. A check valve is basically a one-way valve, in which the flow can run freely one way, but if the flow turns, the valve will close to protect the piping, other valves, pumps etc.
What is the difference between a backflow and a check valve?
Check valves use a hinged plug that allows water to pass through the pipeline but blocks it from coming back. Backflow preventers, on the other hand, apply an increased amount of pressure on a pipe to ensure the water can only flow one way.
Most common types of Check valves are swing, lift (piston and ball), butterfly, stop and tilting-disk.
Swing Check valve
A basic swing Check valve consists of a valve body, a bonnet, and a disk that is connected to a hinge. The disk swings away from the valve-seat to allow flow in the forward direction, and returns to valve-seat when upstream flow is stopped, to prevent backflow.
The disc in a swing type Check valve is unguided as it fully opens or closes. There are many disk and seat designs available, in order to meet the requirements of different applications. The valve allows full, unobstructed flow and automatically closes as pressure decreases. These valves are fully closed when flow reaches zero, in order to prevent backflow. Turbulence and pressure drop in the valve are very low.
Lift Check valve
The seat design of a lift-Check valve is similar to a Globe valve. The disc is usually in the form of a piston or a ball.
Lift Check valves are particularly suitable for high-pressure service where velocity of flow is high. In lift Check valves, the disc is precisely guided and fits perfectly into the dashpot. Lift Check valves are suitable for installation in horizontal or vertical pipe-lines with upward flow.
Flow to lift Check valves must always enter below the seat. As the flow enters, the piston or ball is raised within guides from the seat by the pressure of the upward flow. When the flow stops or reverses, the piston or ball is forced onto the seat of the valve by both the backflow and gravity.
The Difference Between Backflow Preventers and Check Valves
It’s no secret that backflow is one of the most prevalent threats to the purity of our local water supply. Not only can contamination happen everywhere, but it can happen at any time if your plumbing system isn’t set up to prevent it. As such, business professionals, school administrators, and homeowners are all setting out to stop this occurrence and protect the quality of their drinking water. However, this process often comes with confusion regarding what equipment they should use for the job. This article covers the difference between backflow preventers and check valves.
Construction
Though backflow preventers and check valves have the same overall function, they both work slightly differently. Check valves use a hinged plug that allows water to pass through the pipeline but blocks it from coming back. Backflow preventers, on the other hand, apply an increased amount of pressure on a pipe to ensure the water can only flow one way.
Reliability
Backflow systems are generally more effective at keeping wastewater flowing in the correct manner because they’re highly pressurized. They also have several additional fail-safes that further protect our more sensitive drinking water sources. Check valves have a decent amount of reliability. However, they can fail under the right conditions and contaminate certain supplies with sewer water.
Applications
The increased reliability of backflow preventers makes them the preferred choice of anyone who needs to protect sources of drinking water, irrigation, or sprinkler systems. Check valves, then, are applicable in low-hazard situations for cross-contamination

Quality Control
A valve can be described as a mechanism that controls the passage of liquids through a pipe. Research states that valves being manufactured in China are amongst the top valve competitors in the valve industry.
Nondestructive Test
Radiography Inspection guarantees no failures inside of the castings or forgings. Ultrasonic inspection acts an alternative of inspection. Dye penetrant testing and magnetic particle testing can examine surface failures on castings and forgings.
Cryogenic Treatment
-196 ℃ Cryogenic Treatment System is a basic treatment for LNG usage valves or similiar applications.
Leakage Test
Leak testing is a procedure that inspectors use to determine whether an object or system is functioning within a specific leak limit.
Chemical Analysis
All our materials are strictly made under supervision of ladle analysis instrument in the foundries and inspected by high precision spectroanalysis instrument when they arrive in our plant.
Mechanical Properties Test
All mechanical properties test will act before we use the materials to secure the performance and safety.
Heat Treatment
Up to 1200 ℃ electric furnance provide an availability of various heat treatment cycles.
Why Do I Need Wear Parts?
“Wear” is the last thing any business wants to experience with their machines. Apart from its unpleasant physicality, it could also be a sign that means your parts and/or components are about to break. You need wear parts to help prevent or prolong the wearing out of these parts and components – and that could be any type of wear parts such as pipes, liners, plates, etc.What Kinds of Wear Plates Do You Offer?
Here at Sunny Steel, we put emphasis to the primary kinds and types of wear pipes and fittings – they include:- Ceramic Liner pipes and fittings
