4. Dimensional Data (Approximate)
Note: Wafer check valves have a short face-to-face length. The exact “L” dimension can vary slightly by manufacturer. Please verify the final dimension with the approved drawing.
| Size | Face-to-Face Length (L) | Body Outside Diameter (D) | Flange Bolt Circle Dia. (D1) | No. of Bolt Holes & Dia. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DN300 (12″) | 73 mm – 83 mm (Typical: 79 mm) | Approx. 340 mm | 451 mm (ASME B16.5 150LB) | 12 – 25 mm (Φ25) |
Important Installation Note:
Ensure the pipeline flanges spread apart to insert this valve. The bolts are long-pass bolts that go through the entire valve body.
5. Product Features
-
Compact & Lightweight: The wafer body design significantly reduces weight and installation space compared to traditional swing check valves.
-
Low Pressure Drop: Streamlined disc design minimizes flow resistance.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The Aluminum Bronze disc offers superior resistance to corrosion from seawater, chlorides, and various acidic media, making it ideal for harsh environments.
-
Tight Shut-Off: The combination of a metal disc and an EPDM resilient seat provides bubble-tight sealing.
-
Non-Slam Performance: Stainless steel springs ensure quick closing of the plates before flow reversal, effectively preventing water hammer.
6. Inspection & Warranty
-
Valves are pressure tested in accordance with API 598.
-
Marking per MSS SP-25.
-
Free from porosity and structural defects.
If you need to adjust this sheet:
-
Change the seat material (e.g., to Viton® or PTFE).
-
Update specific face-to-face dimensions if provided by the manufacturer.
-
Add torque values or actuator data.
