Q:What are the characteristics of dual plate wafer type check valves?

Taiwan Valve Centre Co., Ltd manufactures the best dual plate check valve for you.

The characteristics of dual plate wafer type check valves are what set them apart and make them a preferred choice in numerous applications. These are the essential features:

Compact Design: A key feature of dual plate check valve is its compactness. It is considerably shorter than other types of check valve, making it ideal for cramped spaces.

Lightweight: The wafer design and the use of two plates rather than a single, heavier disc mean that it is typically lighter than other check valves.

Quick Closure: The twin plates can shut quickly in response to flow reversal, reducing the risk of water hammer - a sudden surge in pressure caused by the sudden stop or change in direction of water flow.

Tight Sealing: The design ensures a tight closure when the valve is in its closed position when it is rubber seat, preventing backflow effectively.

Versatility in Materials: Dual plate wafer check valves can be made from a range of materials, such as cast iron, stainless steel, bronze, and other special alloys, depending on the application needs.

Low Maintenance: Because of their uncomplicated design and minimal moving parts, these valves usually require less maintenance in comparison to other types of valves.

Cost-Effective: Their compact and simple design often makes them more cost-effective than other check valve designs.

Broad Application Range: They can be used in a wide range of applications, from water systems to petrochemical plants, HVAC systems, and more.

Resilient Seating: Many dual plate wafer check valves come with resilient seating, which provides enhanced sealing capabilities.

Spring-Assisted Closure: Some designs include springs to assist in the closure of the plates, ensuring a faster response to flow reversals.

These characteristics render the dual plate wafer type check valve a favoured option in various industries, particularly where space is limited and swift response to flow alterations is imperative.
