FAQ's of Lift Check Valve:
Q: How is the Lift Check Valve installed, and in which position should it be placed?
A: The Lift Check Valve is designed for horizontal installation, ensuring uni-directional flow. Proper alignment and orientation according to the arrow marked on the body are crucial to prevent backflow and maintain system safety.
Q: What makes this check valve suitable for corrosion-prone environments?
A: The valve utilizes an epoxy or anti-corrosive paint coating on its body, which, combined with the use of durable materials like cast steel, stainless steel, or cast iron, provides strong resistance against rust and corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments.
Q: When should I use a lift check valve in my industrial pipeline system?
A: A lift check valve should be used wherever backflow prevention is necessary. It's suitable for water, oil, steam, or gas pipelines, especially in systems where fluid reversal could damage equipment or disrupt operations.
Q: Where can these lift check valves be applied effectively?
A: These valves are employed extensively in industrial fluid control for water supply networks, oil and steam pipelines, air systems, and gas transmission, serving sectors like manufacturing, power plants, and process industries.
Q: What is the process for routine maintenance of this valve?
A: Routine maintenance involves shutting down the line, releasing system pressure, and unbolting the bonnet for internal inspection. With a bolted bonnet and a straightforward design, cleaning, disc checking, and seat inspection are easily accomplished.
Q: What benefits does the stainless steel pivot pin add to the valve's function?
A: A stainless steel pivot pin ensures smooth, reliable lifting movement of the disc, contributing to longer operational life, high resistance to corrosion, and consistent sealing performance under frequent use.
Q: How does the valve accommodate different pressure and temperature conditions?
A: Designed under API 6D and BS 1868 standards, the lift check valve handles pressures up to 16 bar and operates reliably from -10C to 180C. This makes it versatile for diverse industrial processes and media.
