Vatac Dual Plate Check Valve Installation Operation & Maintenance Manual


Dual Plate Check Valve also is named as One Way Valve/Non Return Valve; it is used to prevent the media flowing back in the pipeline. The Dual Plate Check Valve is automatic valve, its closing and opening movements are driven by the energy of the media in the pipeline, and do not need the external force.

3. COMPOSITION AND MATERIAL

3.1). COMPOSITION

Dual Plate Check Valve mainly compose of BodyDiscSpring, the Disc is used to open and close the valve.The Dual Plate Check Valves have two Disc, Wafer between RF or RTJ Flanges.

3.2). MAIN MATERIAL

The body cavity Body and Disc connect and form contain the valve trim and the flowing medium, the body and trim materials are the key determining the medium and situation.

Mian Body Materials:
ASTM A126, ASTM A105, ASTM A216 WCB, ASTM A182 F304, F316, ASTM A351 CF8, CF8M


The Disc and Sealing Ring are the important part of Check Valve, not only it bear the corrosion of the medium, but also determining the Sealing Tightness and Working Life of the Check Valve, so the material is very important, Dual Plate Wafer Check Valve also called Butterfly Check Valve, Dual Plates design with spring to confirm closed seal.

4. CHARACTERISTIC


4.1). The Fluid Resistance Of the Dual Plate Check Valve Is More Smaller


The fluid channel in the valve is straigh through, the cavity on the above of the valve is bigger, the disc would not keep out the channel inside the valve when openning and closing, the fluid resistance is very small.

4.2). The flowing direction of the medium in the valve channel is limited.

4.3). Under Low Pressure, the Sealing Property would not be influenced under the effets by the Spring.



5. INSTALLATION




5.1). Before out from the factory, the Dual Check Valve have been approved by some inspection and performance test as per the API598 and related standard, and clear away the greasy and sundries inside and outside the valve, the entrance and exit of the channel of the Check Valve also are plugged by the end socket..


5.2). Before using, the end socket should be taken down, please make sure there is no any dirt sticking to the body cavity and valve disc, seat sealing etc, and scrub the disk and seat sealing sides. Also please make sure that all boltsnuts amd packing gland at all jointing position do not get flexible during transportation, if flexible, they should be screwed up.


5.3). The Place that The Dual Plate Check Valve would be installed are not limited, normally it is installed in horizontal pipelines, it also could be installed in vertical and inlined pipelines, but when installed to the vertical and inclined ones, the disc should be opened to the up direction in case not to make the close difficult, besides, it could improve the sealing tightness by the gravity of the disk itself.

5.4).When installing the Dual Plate Check Valve, it should pay more attention to the direction of the medium flow, the body has marked the arrow that shows the direction which medium flows.When installing, the direction that the medium would flows must stay the same with the arrow pointing, otherwise, the medium would be cut off by the disc.

5.5). When the Dual Plate Check Valve are fixed on the pipelines, the body should not bear too much pulling and pressure, bending and torsional stress.

6. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

6.1). OPERATION

The Dual Plate Check Valve is automatic valve, it do not need the external force to work, it could work just with the energy of the medium in the pipelines. When the medium in the pipelines flow in the forwarding direction, the disc would then open, the medium would get through. Otherwise, the medium flows in the reverse direction, the disc would close to keep the medium backflowing.

6.2). MAINTENANCE

6-2.1 The Dual Plate Check Valve should be kept in dry and ventilated room, it is forbidden to be kept in open-air. The two ends should be plugged by the end socket in case the sundries would enter.

6-2.2 The Dual Plate Check kept for long term should have a peroidic inpection, clear away the sundries in the cavity, and coat the greasy on the processing surface.

6-2.3 The Dual Plate Check Valve that are working all the time on the pipelines should have periodic inspection to see if there are any wrong. If there is litte accidents, it should be solved in time, if the accidents are big, the Dual Plate Check Valve should be taken down and get repaired. The Dual Plate Check Valve that just get repaired and assemblied should get sealing test again. The accidents clearing and examine details should be recorded at length.

6-2.4 The Dual Plate Check Valve is not allowed to be welded and repairedremoved at willreplaced the valve part when working under pressure.

7. ACCIDENTS AND SOLUTIONS


ACCIDENTS

REASON

SOLUTIONS

Inner LeakageThe leakage in the both sealing side between body and disck, seat

1.There are dirt at the sealing surface

2.The sealing is damaged by the shock of water

1. Clear away the dirt at the disc and sealing surface, and cleap up by the kerosene.

External Leakage (The leakge at the jointing between body and bonnet)

1. The jointing bolts are asymmetrical at force.

2. The gasket is installed inclined or broken or become invalid after use. for long time.

1. Screw up the jointing bolts and nuts in the body and bonnet.

2. Replace the gasket and install the gasket correctly.
