what’s the Check valve opening pressure?
Check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the valve disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the backflow of the medium, also known as check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve and back pressure valve. The check valve belongs to an automatic valve, which is mainly used to prevent medium backflow, reverse rotation of pump and driving motor, and discharge of container medium,if the opening pressure is too high, the system of our swing check valve may be overpressured, so the pressure in front of the check valve must be guaranteed.
What is the opening pressure of general swing check valve?
1.The pressure of swing opening has nothing to do with the size of the valve. It depends on the place of use of the valve.
2.The pressure drop of swing check valve is related to horizontal installation and vertical installation. If it is vertical installation, the pressure drop is equivalent to two elbows. If it is horizontal installation, the pressure drop is equivalent to the pressure generated by the weight of two elbows + disc of swing check valve.
3.The starting pressure of the swing check valve without spring is related to the thickness of the check plate. The thicker it is, the heavier it is. The greater the pressure difference before and after it can be opened
4.The starting pressure of swing check valve with spring is not only related to the thickness of check plate, but also related to spring.
The minimum upstream pressure required to operate the valve is called the cracking pressure, generally between 1 and 5 psi. Check valves are designed specifically with this number in mind. The degree of opening on a check valve is determined by the flow rate.
There is no problem using 2.5MPa swing check valve for 0.4MPa fluid
Generally, the used high-pressure pipes of check valves are within 5kg.

FAQ
Do check valves have different pressures?
It also helps ensure the check valve and the application perform as expected. Sizing check valves is different from sizing many other types of flow control and shutoff valves. … The good news is that spring loaded or spring assist check valves are designed with a wide range of very specific cracking pressures.
What is valve opening pressure?
The set pressure, also called the opening pressure, of a safety or relief valve is the inlet pressure at which the valve begins to open as required by code.
What is a low pressure check valve?
A specialty diaphragm check valve that opens with virtually no forward pressure. In this position the sealing disc is supported internally allowing the valve to operate under high flow conditions with relatively no force or stress on the disc.
What is valve opening pressure?
The set pressure, also called the opening pressure, of a safety or relief valve is the inlet pressure at which the valve begins to open as required by code.
Does a check valve need pressure?
A check valve requires a minimum upstream pressure (pressure differential between inlet and outlet) to open the valve and allow flow through it. This minimum upstream pressure at which the valve opening occurs is called the check valve ‘cracking pressure’
