Pressure Seal Swing Check Valves: High-Pressure Backflow Prevention
A Pressure Seal Swing Check Valve utilizes a "swinging" flapper (disc) that moves freely on a hinge. When forward flow reaches the "cracking pressure," it pushes the disc open. When flow stops or reverses, gravity and the weight of the water column swing the disc back onto the seat to prevent backflow.
The FlowBiz Pressure Seal Advantage
In high-pressure services (typically Class 900# and above), traditional bolted bonnets can struggle with thermal expansion. Our Pressure Seal design solves this:
- Self-Tightening Joint: The system’s internal pressure acts against the bonnet, compressing the pressure seal gasket. The higher the pressure, the tighter the seal becomes.
- Weight Efficiency: By eliminating heavy external flanges and large bolts, these valves are more compact and significantly lighter than bolted-bonnet alternatives.
- Streamlined Maintenance: The simplified structure allows for easier access to internal components during scheduled plant shutdowns.

Installation Guidelines:
- Horizontal Flow: This is the standard and recommended orientation.
- Vertical Flow: Can be installed in vertical lines only if the flow is upwards. Gravity must be able to assist the disc in closing during flow cessation.
- Velocity Needs: Best suited for medium-velocity applications where "slamming" is less likely to occur.
Core Industrial Applications
FlowBiz Pressure Seal Swing Check Valves are essential for:
- Thermal & Nuclear Power: Nuclear steam generating units and boiler feedwater lines.
- Oil & Gas Refining: Catalytic reformers and hydrocrackers.
- Chemical Plants: Handling high-temperature fluids and high-pressure steam.
- Industrial Utilities: Protecting pumps and compressors from back-pressure damage.
