2. Main Features
-
Lift Check Design: Disc lifts vertically off the seat under forward flow and drops back when flow reverses, providing reliable backflow prevention.
-
Inconel 625 Construction: Full Inconel 625 body and trim offer exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and high‑temperature oxidation. Ideal for sour service (NACE MR0175), seawater, and aggressive chemical environments.
-
High‑Pressure Capability: Class 2500 rating with flanged ends suitable for ultra‑high‑pressure systems.
-
Pressure Seal Bonnet: Ensures leak‑tight performance under fluctuating high temperatures and pressures.
-
Renewable Seat & Disc: Seat and disc hardfaced with Stellite 21 for extended service life and ease of maintenance.
-
Compact Design: Lift check valves offer a shorter face‑to‑face length compared to swing check valves.

6. Inconel 625 Material Advantages
| Property | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent resistance to seawater, chlorides, sour gas (H₂S), and mineral acids |
| High‑Temperature Strength | Maintains mechanical properties up to 650°C |
| Oxidation Resistance | Resists scaling and oxidation in high‑temperature environments |
| Fatigue Resistance | Superior resistance to thermal fatigue and cyclic loading |
7. Operating Guidelines
-
Orientation: Lift check valves are typically installed in horizontal pipelines with the bonnet vertical, or in vertical lines with flow upward.
-
Cracking Pressure: Standard cracking pressure is typically 0.5 – 1.0 psi (0.03 – 0.07 bar). Spring‑assisted designs are available for vertical installation or low‑pressure applications.
-
Flow Characteristics: Minimal pressure drop when fully open, as the disc lifts completely out of the flow path.
8. Typical Applications
-
Subsea & Offshore: High‑pressure subsea manifolds, Christmas trees, and topside piping in seawater service.
-
Sour Service: Oil & gas production with high H₂S and CO₂ content (NACE MR0175 compliance).
-
Nuclear Power: High‑temperature steam and feedwater systems.
-
Chemical Processing: Corrosive chemical plants handling acids, chlorides, and high‑temperature fluids.
-
Hydrogen Service: High‑pressure hydrogen systems requiring nickel alloy construction to prevent hydrogen embrittlement.
