Tilting Disc Check Valve

Key Features:

1. Tilting Disc Design:

   • The disc tilts or pivots on a hinge mechanism, allowing it to open fully with minimal resistance when flow is in the correct direction.

   • When flow reverses, the disc quickly closes, preventing backflow and ensuring a tight seal.

2. Low Pressure Drop:

   • The streamlined design of the tilting disc minimizes pressure loss across the valve, making it energy-efficient and suitable for high-flow systems.

3. Quick Response:

   • The tilting mechanism ensures fast closing action, reducing the risk of water hammer and protecting downstream equipment.

4. Bidirectional Sealing (Optional):

   • Some tilting disc check valves are designed to provide sealing in both directions, making them versatile for specific applications.

5. Durable Construction:

   • Made from robust materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or cast iron, the valve is designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments.

6. Compact and Lightweight:

   • Compared to other check valve types, tilting disc check valves are often more compact and lightweight, making them easier to install and maintain.

Applications:

• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Used in pumping stations and distribution systems to prevent backflow.

• Oil and Gas: Installed in pipelines to ensure unidirectional flow and protect equipment.

• Power Generation: Utilized in cooling systems, steam lines, and condensate recovery systems.

• Chemical Processing: Suitable for handling corrosive fluids and maintaining flow direction.

• Marine and Shipbuilding: Used in ballast systems and seawater applications.

Advantages:

• Efficient Flow Control: The tilting disc design ensures minimal turbulence and pressure drop, optimizing system performance.

• Reliable Sealing: Provides a tight seal even under low-pressure conditions, preventing leakage and backflow.

• Reduced Water Hammer: The quick-closing action minimizes the risk of water hammer, protecting pipelines and equipment.

• Low Maintenance: The simple yet robust design reduces wear and tear, resulting in lower maintenance requirements.

Operation:

• When fluid flows in the correct direction, the disc tilts open, allowing unimpeded flow.

• When flow stops or reverses, the disc quickly returns to its closed position, sealing the valve and preventing backflow.

The tilting disc check valve is an excellent choice for applications requiring efficient flow control, reliable sealing, and durability in demanding industrial environments. Its unique design makes it a preferred option for systems where minimizing pressure drop and preventing water hammer are critical.
