One Way Valve Types

Classification Based on Design and Mechanism

Check valve types are: tipo de mola, tipo de gravidade, tipo de balanço, tipo de diafragma de plástico. According to the structure: válvulas de retenção de elevação, válvulas de retenção borboleta, válvulas de retenção oscilantes, ball check valve and flap check valve.

• Válvula de retenção de elevação: Divided into vertical check, verificação horizontal.
• Válvula de inspeção: Divided into single-valve check, válvulas de retenção dupla, verificação multi-flap.
• Ball Check Valves: Ball check valves are mechanical devices used to control the flow of fluids or gases in pipelines by allowing flow in one direction while preventing backflow in the opposite direction. They consist of a spherical ball inside a valve body, which moves freely to allow flow when the pressure on the inlet side is higher than the outlet side. When flow reverses, the ball moves to block the passage, impedindo o refluxo.
• Flap Check Valves: Flap check valves are mechanical devices designed to regulate fluid or gas flow in pipelines by permitting flow in one direction while preventing backflow in the opposite direction. They feature a hinged flap or disc that opens in the direction of flow and closes to block reverse flow. This design allows for efficient flow control, preventing the reversal of fluid or gas and ensuring the integrity of the pipeline system. Flap check valves are widely used in diverse industries due to their reliability, low maintenance requirements, and effectiveness in preventing backflow.

Válvulas de retenção de acordo com a forma de conexão: tipo de verificação encadeada, tipo de verificação soldada, tipo de verificação de flange.

Classification Based on Application

• Hydraulic check valves are essential components in hydraulic systems, designed to control the flow of fluid in one direction while preventing reverse flow. They utilize internal mechanisms such as spring-loaded discs or poppets to allow fluid to flow in one direction, while automatically closing to block flow in the opposite direction. These valves ensure the integrity and efficiency of hydraulic systems by preventing fluid backflow, which could cause damage or malfunction.
• Pneumatic check valves are devices used in pneumatic systems to regulate the flow of compressed air or gases in one direction while preventing reverse flow. They operate using internal mechanisms such as spring-loaded discs or poppets, which open to allow airflow in one direction and close to block airflow in the opposite direction. These valves ensure the proper functioning of pneumatic systems by preventing backflow, which could disrupt operations or damage equipment.
• Medical check valves are specialized components used in medical devices and equipment to control the flow of fluids or gases in one direction while preventing backflow. These valves are crucial for maintaining the integrity of medical systems, ensuring proper delivery of medications, gases, or fluids to patients during procedures or treatments. They operate using mechanisms like ball, diaphragm, or spring-loaded designs to allow flow in one direction while blocking flow in the opposite direction.
• Duckbill valves are one-way passive check valves designed to allow fluid or gas flow in one direction while preventing backflow. Their unique shape resembles a duck’s bill, hence the name. These valves consist of a flexible elastomeric material, such as silicone or rubber, formed into a tapered shape that naturally stays closed when no pressure is applied. When fluid or gas flows in the desired direction, the pressure opens the valve, allowing passage. No entanto, when the flow stops or reverses, the valve’s elasticity causes it to close, impedindo o refluxo. Duckbill valves find applications in various industries, including medical devices, wastewater treatment, automotive, and aerospace, where reliable one-way flow control is essential.
• Pressure relief valves are safety devices used to protect equipment or systems from excessive pressure buildup by automatically opening to release excess pressure. They operate by sensing the pressure in a system and, when it exceeds a predetermined threshold, they open to allow the release of fluid or gas, thereby preventing damage or catastrophic failure. Pressure relief valves are crucial components in various industries, incluindo petróleo e gás, processamento químico, Geração de energia, e tratamento de água, where maintaining safe operating pressures is essential. They come in different designs, including spring-loaded, pilot-operated, and balanced bellows, each suitable for specific applications and pressure ranges.

Válvulas de retenção diretas na direção do fluxo de óleo e na direção do eixo da válvula são as mesmas.

Válvulas de conexão de tubulação, a porta de óleo dessa válvula pode ser conectada ao tubo de óleo através do conector do tubo. O peso do corpo da válvula depende do suporte do tubo, então o volume da válvula não pode ser muito grande e muito pesado.

Válvulas unidirecionais de ângulo reto

O eixo de entrada e saída das válvulas de retenção em ângulo reto é perpendicular ao eixo do corpo da válvula.

Selection considerations

When selecting a check valve, several key factors need to be considered to ensure optimal performance and reliability in a specific application. These factors include operating pressure, flow requirements, media characteristics, temperature range, e seleção de materiais. The details are as follows:

1. Pressão no trabalho is the basis for selection. The working pressure of the check valve should match the maximum working pressure of the system to ensure that the valve can maintain a stable seal under high pressure. Por exemplo, in high-pressure water jet cutting equipment, the working pressure of the check valve must reach hundreds of MPa to prevent the reverse flow of high-pressure water.
2. Flow requirements directly affect the size and response speed of the valve. Improper selection may result in pressure loss or response delay. For large flow applications, such as large hydraulic systems, it may be necessary to select a specially designed large flow hydraulically controlled check valve with a nominal flow of more than 1000L/min.
3. Consideration of media characteristics is particularly important. Different media have different requirements for valve materials and seals: list 1
4. Temperature range is another key parameter. The choice of valve materials and seals needs to take into account the operating temperature to ensure that they can maintain good performance under extreme conditions. Por exemplo, some special check valves can operate in an extremely wide temperature range of -196°C to +850°C[1].
5. Além disso, mounting method e maintenance convenience need to be considered. The choice of threaded connection, flange connection or welding should match the system interface. The replaceability of wearing parts will also affect the long-term operating cost.

Installation considerations

During the installation of the check valve, in addition to the choice of direction and position, there are some key considerations that require special attention to ensure that the valve can work properly and maximize its performance. These considerations are as follows:

1.Sealing check : After installation, a comprehensive sealing check should be performed on the connection between the check valve and the pipeline. This can be done by applying soapy water or a special leak detection fluid to observe whether there are bubbles or abnormal leaks. For high-pressure systems, it may be necessary to use professional pressure testing equipment to verify the sealing performance.

2.Vibration control : In some applications, the check valve may produce significant vibration. To reduce this vibration, the following measures can be taken:

• Use flexible connectors or vibration dampers to connect the check valve and the pipeline system
• Install a damper or muffler near the check valve
• Adjust the spring preload of the check valve as needed

3.Bypass installation : In some critical systems, it is recommended to install a manual bypass valve next to the check valve. The benefits of doing so include:

• Convenient emergency operation
• When the check valve needs to be repaired or replaced, the entire system can be operated without stopping
• Improving the overall reliability and safety of the system

4.Pipeline support: For large or heavy check valves, sufficient pipeline support should be provided near the installation location. Reasonable support can not only reduce the stress on the check valve, but also reduce the vibration of the pipeline system, thereby improving the stability and life of the entire system.

5.Electrical connection: For check valves with electrical control functions (such as electric check valves), the following points should be noted:

• Install lightning protection and surge protection devices when necessary
• Make sure that the electrical connection meets the relevant safety standards
• Use cables and connectors of appropriate specifications
