V Wafer check valves
V wafer check valves to prevent reverse flow... The Spirax Sarco range of V wafer check valves provides an effective minimal maintenance free solution for the prevention of reverse flow in pipelines carrying most types of liquids, steam and gases. esigned to fit between two pipeline flanges, they provide a compact installation when compared size for size with conventional swing and lift type check valves. The Spirax Sarco range of V wafer check valves is available in a wide range of body materials from bronze to austenitic stainless steel and with seating options of stainless steel, viton or PM to match most applications. The V can be used in a wide variety of applications including: Hot and cold water system Sprinkler installations and condensate lines Process lines Heating systems Oil lines nd in industries as diverse as: hemicals Food production Pharmaceuticals Pulp and paper Ship building Textiles Power generation Flange standards: S tables and H; IN PN6, PN, PN6, PN and PN4; JIS, JIS, JIS6 and JIS; NSI and NSI. Seat options in stainless steel, viton for oils and gases and PM for water. Spring options: High temperature springs available. Heavy duty springs for boiler or gravity feedline applications. No spring option for very low opening differential pressures. (Vertical upward flow only). esigned and manufactured in accordance with S 748: 99... of

Typical applications boiler flooding protection When boilers are shut-down and steam pressure lost, the head of water above the pump can cause flow through the pump flooding the boiler. The V fitted with a heavy duty spring and installed after the feedpump will prevent any gravity flow. Feedtank V oiler V Prevention of reverse flow Installed after multi-plex pump outlets in water distribution systems to prevent reverse flow during auto changeover sequencing and stand-by use. V V Vacuum breaker Installed in 'reverse' mode, the V will act as a vacuum breaker. This will prevent any back syphoning of liquids damaging upstream equipment when the steam supply is turned off and the equipment cools. Flowmeter V 4 V Pipeline fitting protection Prevents damage to pipeline fittings such as flowmeters, control valves and strainers which are susceptible to damage by reverse flow.
How V's work Spirax Sarco V wafer check valves are opened by the flow pressure of the fluid and closed by the spring when flow ceases and before reverse flow can occur. Open losed Installation The design of the Spirax Sarco V wafer check valve allows installation between flanges in any plane and with flow in any direction. The only exception is when the V is installed without a spring. The unit must then be installed in a vertical pipe with upward flow. The unique cam design of the V, and allows the various flange types to be accommodated by simply rotating the body to touch all flange bolts which automatically self centres the valve in the pipeline. The V4, 7, 8 and 9 use the body or cut outs in the body for location between the various NSI standard flanges. These valves are not recommended for applications where heavily pulsating flow exists, such as close to a reciprocating compressor. isc and spring combinations isc Spring Valve body markings High temperature spring N Standard metal disc Without spring W Heavy duty spring H Standard spring V Viton soft faced disc Without spring WV Heavy duty spring HV Without spring W PM soft faced disc Heavy duty spring H Standard spring Valves tested to IN part, T No identification indicates a standard spring with a metal disc.

The values indicated are applicable to spring loaded valves with horizontal flow. With vertical flow, insignificant deviations occur only within the range of partial opening. The curves given in the chart are valid for water at. To determine the pressure drop for other fluids the equivalent water volume flowrate must be calculated and used in the graph.
