Types of Check Valves (Non Return Valve):- There are many kinds of check valves having
variable body configurations. The subsequent are some normally used kinds of check valves.
1. Swing Check Valve
In swing check valves, the disc is unguided once it moves to completely open position or to
completely closed position. Many alternative disc and seat designs are accessible to satisfy
needs of variable applications. Soft-seated– swing check valves give improved leak tightness
compared to metal-to metal seating surfaces. Combination seats consisting of a metal seat
ring with resilient insert additionally provide higher leak tight characteristics. The seating
angle, the angle between the seat and therefore the vertical plane, might vary from zero to
forty five degrees. Vertical seats have a zero angle. Larger seat angles cut back the disc
travel, leading to fast closing, therefore minimizing the chance of loud noise. Sometimes the
seat angles are within the range of five to seven degrees.

2. Lift Check Valve
Lift check valves are significantly custom-made for high-pressure service wherever speed of
flow is high. In lift check valves, the piston disc is accurately target-hunting by long contact
and an in depth sliding work with the peerless targeted dash pot. The walls of the piston and
dash pot are of roughly equal thickness. Giant steam jackets are placed outside of the dash
pot and within the piston to eliminate sticking out due to differential enlargement. The seat
ring is of a barrel sort design of significant uniform crosswise. It’s commonly screwed in and
seal welded. The flow gap is full port size.
The seat design of a lift-check valve is comparable to a globe valve. The disc is typically
within the type of a piston or a ball. The ball-lift check valves are employed in extremely
viscous fluid service. These check valves have superior leak-tight feature to those of swing
check valves.
The piston kind lift check valves have an inclination to stick within the open position once
service fluid has sediment treed on top of the piston. Giant lift check valves are equipped an
equalizer line between the chamber on top of the disc and therefore the downstream aspect
of the valve.

3. Tilting Disc Check Valve
The tilting-disc check valve is intended to overcome a number of the weaknesses inherent in
typical swing check valves. A mix of design options allows the valve to open absolutely and
stay steady at lower flow velocities and to shut quickly upon stop of forward flow. The dome-
shaped disc floats within the flow with fluid on each bottom and high of its surfaces,
therefore its minimum dash pot impact. It performs well in pulsing, turbulent, and high-speed
flows. These attributes prolong the valve’s lift and cut back flow-induced dynamic masses on
the piping system.

4. Folding Disc Check Valves
This valve is additionally named as double-disc or split disc check valve. It’s factory-made in
wafer-body pattern and is out there with soft or exhausting seats. It’s extremely popular in
low-pressure liquid and gas field services. Its light-weight compact construction makes it a
preferred check valve once area and convenience are necessary.

5. Vertical or In-Line Check Valve
These valves are offered in 2 configurations: in-line ball check and totally guided disc with
soft or hard seats. In-line ball check valves will be utilized in each vertical and horizontal line.
The totally guided disc inline check valves should be supplied with a spring-assist closure
once employed in horizontal lines. In vertical lines, the guided disc in-line check valves might
or might not be supplied with spring-assist closure. The spring-assist closure not solely
assists in closing the valve quickly; it minimizes the chance of loud noise by preventing flow
reversal.
They can be utilized in applications having pulsing flows, like in a discharge line of a
reciprocating compressor. As a result of their compact in size, they’re ideal for application in
tight areas.

6. Stop Check Valve
A stop check valve will either be used as a one-way check valve or as an isolation (stop) valve
sort of a gate or globe valve. Throughout traditional operation of a system, these valves are
used as an everyday check valve; but, once required, these valves may be closed with the
assistance of a screw-down stem that isn’t mounted to the valve disc. The stem, once totally
screwed down, holds the free-floating disc against the valve seat, even as in a gate or a
globe valve. These valves are accessible in tee-pattern, Wye-pattern, angle-pattern, and
inclined pattern. The swing-and-piston lift-disc style check valves are normally used as stop
check valves
