BUTTERFLY VALVE offers tho advantages of rotary stom movernt (80, degoes or less, compactness, and absence of pockating. tis eveilale in all sizes, ond ean be produced in chemicalresitant and hygienic forms The valves ate used for gases, liquids, survies, powders and vacuum. The sual resilient plastic seat has a temperature limitation, but tight closure at high temperatures is avaiable with a version having a metal ring sel around the disc. Ifthe vale is flanged, it may be held betwen flanges of eny type Slip-on and screwed flanges do not fom @ proper seal with some wafer forms of the valve, in which the resilient seat is extended to save also as line geskers, (nite typ VALVES FOR CHECKING BACKFLOW au All valves inthis eatogory ae designed to permit flow of quid or gas in ona rection and close if flow reverses, SWING CHECK VALVE The regular swing check valves not surtale if there is frequent flow reversal es pounding and wearing of cise occurs. Fr aritty Tiquids a composition dsc is advisable to reduce damage tothe set. May be ‘mounted vertically with foe upward, oF horizontally. Varticaly-mounted valve hes a tendency to remain open if the stream velocity changes slowly. [An optional faver end outsida weight may be offered either to asist closing 10Fto-counterbalance the dis: in part, and allow opening by lonepressure ud ‘hiNG CHECK VALVES TILTING-DISC VALVE Suitable where frequent flow reversal oxcurs. Valve ‘loses repidly with better closure and less slamming than the swing check vaWo, which it somewmat resamblos, It has higher pressure drop with large on ‘low veloities and lower-pressure drop with small velocities then 2 compar ble swingchesk valve, May bo installed vertically with flow upward, oF horizontally, Disc movement can be contralied by an integral dashpot or suber LIFT-CHECK VALVE resumbles the piston-heek valve, The dis is guid, tut the deshpot feature is absent, Springloaded types can operate st any orientation, but unsprung valves have to be arranged so that the ise will closa by gravity. Composition disc valves ere avilable for gritty tiquids PISTON-CHECK VALVE Suitable where frequent change of direction of fiow occu's as these valves ere much less subject to pounding with pulsating fiow due to the integral desh-pot. Springoaded types can operate at any ‘orientation. Unsgrung valves have to ba oriantatod for gravity closure. Not suitable for gritty liquids, ‘sT0P cHECK VALVE PISTON CHECK VALVE STOP-CHECK VALVE Principal example of use is in steam generation by multiple boilers, where © valve is inserted betwoon each bolle and the main ‘steam header. Besically,a check valve that optionally can be kopt closed auto- matically or manually. BALL-CHECK VALVE is suitable for most spivioes. The valve con handle 12865, vapors and liquids, including those forming gummy depesit, The ball seets by gravity and/or back pressure, and is free to ratate, which distributes ‘waar and aids in keeping contacting surfaces clean, WAFER CHECK VALVE effects closure by two semicircular ‘door, both hinged to a central post in a ringsheped body which is installed between anges, Frequently used for non-fouling liquids, as itis compact and of relatively low cost, A single disc type is also availabe FOOT VALVE Typical use is 10 maintain @ head of water on the suction side of @ sump pump, The valve is bosicaly alit-check valve with a strainer inegrateo. 3
