When the pressure inside a pressurized system increases, the pressure in the relief valve rises, and the safety or control valve opens. While both are useful for preventing system failures, they are different in design and function. Relief valves are designed to relieve pressure in proportion to the increase in pressure over the opening pressure […]

You have probably wondered how a pneumatic valve actuator works. These devices use compressed air to move a valve closure member (plug, spring, or nut) into the desired position. To work, they must be powerful enough to seat the valve closure member with enough torque, and they should be protected against external forces. The actuator

The fountain pump check valve is your first line of defense against backflow that could result in water hammer, a severe and often fatal pressure spike. These valves are commonly found in drinking water distribution systems and treatment plants. They’re also useful for applications that would benefit from preventing backflow, such as centrifugal pumps that
A lift check valve is a one-way, non-return system that prevents the backflow of media. These types of valves can be constructed out of metal, plastic, or stainless steel and function to stop media from backing up into the chamber. Lift check valves are often employed in piping systems with high turbulence levels, as well

Swing-type check valves use a hinged disc to block and regulate fluid flow. If the valve malfunctions, it can result in leakage, pressure loss, contamination, or overflow of liquid. Swing check valves are commonly used in water, wastewater, and industrial fluids applications. Unfortunately, they cannot handle pulsating or abrupt flow reversals and may experience water
