(3) Provides unidirectional flow and tight shut-off for liquids and gas with high reliability. When differential drops below cracking pressure*, valve shuts off. (Not for use as relief valve.)
Materials: Body, cover, poppet: 316 Annealed Stainless Steel, Cover gland: Annealed Stainless Steel: High Nickel Alloy, Standard O-ring: Viton, for operation to 500° F (260°C). Buna-N or Teflon available for 250°F (121°C) or 400°F (204°C) respectively; specify when ordering.
*Cracking Pressure: 20 psi (1.38 bar) ±30%. Springs for higher cracking pressures (up to 100 psi (6.89bar)) available on special order for O-ring style check valves only.
Note: All sour oil and gas valves and fittings supplied ...
(3) Prevents reverse flow where leak-tight shut-off is not mandatory. When differential drops below cracking pressure, valve closes. With all-metal components, valve can be used up to 1200°F (649°C). See Technical Information section for connection temperature limitations. (Not for use as a relief valve.)
Ball and poppet are integral design to assure positive, in-line seating without “chatter”. Poppet is designed essentially for axial flow with minimum pressure drop.
(3) Protects pressure gauges and pressure instrumentation from surges in flow or sudden venting in the event of line failure.
Materials: Body, cover, sleeve: Type 316 Annealed Stainless Steel, Ball: 300 Series Annealed Stainless Steel, Cover gland: annealed stainless steel.
Vertical Installation: Since this type of check valve employs a non-spring loaded ball, valve MUST be installed in VERTICAL position with arrow on valve body pointing UP. (cover gland up).
Resetting Valve: Equalize the pressure across the ball. The ball will drop and reset automatically.
Note: All sour oil and gas valves and fittings supplied without collars and glands unless otherwise ...
