Description
The model A check valves have been developed for the requirements of the process industry. The wetted parts are suited specifically for applications with natural gas and aggressive fluids, but also for water and hydraulic oil. The simple and robust design, with a safety factor of 4:1, enables model A check valves a wide spectrum of use. The valve design and the high-quality sealing materials ensure high durability and tightness. The sealing element (piston) has a double sealing system from an elastic O-ring and a metal cone. With any back pressure, the soft O-ring and then the sealing face of the metal cone prevent the reverse flow of the medium.
Applications
- Oil and gas industry, chemical and petrochemical industries, power plants
- Prevents the backflow of gases or liquids in measuring circuits
- For injection systems, actuator controls, test benches, hydraulic power packs
Special Features
- Safety factor 4:1 for pressurized parts
- One-piece, robust case construction prevents leaks
- High repeatability and bubble-tight sealing through self-centering piston
- Redundant sealing with O-ring and metal cone
- Leak-tested tightness in accordance with BS6755 /
- ISO 5208 leakage rate A
- Back stopped poppet minimizes spring stress
This principle of double sealing ensures reliable leak tightness.
Materials of Construction
Item # | Part | Stainless Steel Valve |
۱ | Cap | ASTM A 276, TYPE 316 |
۲ | Seat* | Fluorocarbon Rubber |
۳ | Poppet | ASTM A 479, TYPE 316 |
۴ | Spring | ۳۱۶ Stainless Steel |
۵ | Body | ASTM A 276, TYPE 316 |
*Optional seat materials are available. See how to order section. Lubrication: Silicone Paste
Note: PTFE seated valves employ an additional PTFE coated 316 gaskets between the seat and the body and are distinguishable from elastomeric seated valves by the gap designed between the body and cap.
