SLAMMING: Swing Check Reflux Valves are subject to slamming on rapid reversal of flow. Valve doors may be balanced by using a counter weight and lever attached to the hinge shaft. It is recommended that all sizes of high pressure reflux valves are fitted with counter weight or hydraulic dampers to regulate speed of closing.
Bypasses Valve sizes 200mm and larger may be fitted with bypass assemblies to drain the pipeline downstream of the main valve or in the open position, to relieve surge pressures.
Specifications The illustrations in this catalogue are subject to modification without notice. Valves are rated 1.6 MPa, 2.5 MPa and 40 MPa working pressure, each valve is subjected to hydraulic pressure test on body and door, without leakage, before leaving the factory.

The table below indicates head loss in kPa across Right pattern swing check valves mounted in horizontal pipelines, with door shafts supported in low friction bearings and without counterweight or other damping devices affecting movement of the doors. Head loss is indicated at various fluid velocities through the valves of clean water at 200C. The minimum head loss across the valves required to hold the doors in the open position averages 3.5 kPa in all sizes.
