FAQ's of Leader Make Gun Metal Horizontal Check Valve Flanged End:
Q: How does the Leader Make Gun Metal Horizontal Check Valve operate?
A: This check valve operates automatically using a swing-type disc, which opens with forward flow and shuts quickly when flow reverses, preventing backflow and ensuring unidirectional movement. No external power or actuation is required.
Q: What applications are suitable for this check valve?
A: It is ideal for potable water, petroleum products, compressed air, and general industrial pipeline systems where reliable non-return or one-way flow is needed, supporting horizontal pipeline configurations.
Q: When should I install this check valve in my pipeline?
A: It should be installed whenever there is a need to prevent reverse flow in horizontal water, gas, or petroleum pipelines, particularly in industrial or general water supply networks for safety and operational efficiency.
Q: Where is the appropriate installation orientation for this valve?
A: This valve is designed exclusively for horizontal installations. Installing it vertically will impair its operation and may lead to malfunction or failure to prevent backflow.
Q: What benefits does the gun metal construction offer?
A: Gun metal (IS:318 Gr. LTB2) provides excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and stress, ensuring a long service life and reliability even under high pressure and varying temperature conditions.
Q: What is the hydrostatic test pressure for this valve?
A: The valve undergoes a shell strength test at 24 kg/cm2 and a seat test at 16 kg/cm2, corresponding to 1.5 times the working pressure and ensuring safety and leak-proof performance.
Q: How do I select the correct size for my application?
A: Select the size based on your pipeline's diameter, ensuring it matches one of the available sizes from 15mm to 200mm, and refer to the flow requirements and connection specifications to ensure optimal performance.
