    This document provides a chart comparing different types of check valves, including their advantages, disadvantages, applications, and limitations. It discusses piston lift checks, ball checks, tilting disk checks, and stop-checks. For each type it lists the advantages as low pressure drop, even wear distribution, long service life, and straight-through body design. The disadvantages include relatively high pressure drop, availability only in small sizes, potential for sticking or deteriorating seat tightness. The applications are for various industries and services. The limitations include size ranges and flow limits.
