The Forged Swing Check Valve is a widely used type of check valve designed to allow fluid flow in one direction while preventing backflow in the opposite direction. It features a disc that swings on a hinge or pivot, opening when fluid flows in the correct direction and closing when flow stops or reverses. This simple yet effective design makes swing check valves suitable for a variety of applications, particularly in systems with low to moderate flow velocities.

Key Features:
-
Swinging Disc Design:
-
The valve uses a disc that swings open on a hinge or pivot when fluid flows in the correct direction.
-
When flow stops or reverses, the disc swings back to its closed position, preventing backflow.
-
-
Low Pressure Drop:
-
When fully open, the disc moves out of the flow path, minimizing pressure drop and turbulence.
-
-
Simple and Reliable Operation:
-
The swinging disc design is straightforward, with no springs or complex mechanisms, making it reliable and easy to maintain.
-
-
Durable Construction:
-
Constructed from materials such as stainless steel or carbon steel, swing check valves are designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments.
-
-
Suitable for Horizontal and Vertical Installation:
-
Swing check valves can be installed in both horizontal and vertical pipelines, provided the disc can swing freely to close.
