Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Non-Return (Check) Valve?
A non-return valve, also known as a check valve or one-way valve, is a device that allows fluid or gas to flow in only one direction. It is designed to automatically prevent backflow (reverse flow) the moment the fluid in the line reverses direction. This passive operation is critical for protecting equipment and preventing system contamination.
What is "cracking pressure"?
The minimum upstream pressure needed to open the valve and allow flow. It is the small amount of force required to lift the disc or piston off the seat.
What is "water hammer" and how can I prevent it?
A pressure surge caused by a fluid in motion being forced to stop or change direction suddenly. The sudden closure of a check valve can cause it. Using fast-closing, non-slam check valves or adding a dashpot can help mitigate it.
Can a check valve be installed vertically?
It depends on the type. Lift-check, ball-check, and most spring-assisted check valves are designed for vertical installation (with upward flow). A standard swing check, however, may not close properly without gravity assistance. Always check the valve’s specifications.
Which applications are using a non-return valve?
Pumps:
Most pump applications consist of a non-return valve to avoid the backflow on the head of the pump. There is a non-return valve on the boilers’ feeding pumps to maintain the flow rate at the particular outlet of the pressure. You can also see the non-return valve in the chromatography process. It is the procedure conducted in the laboratory for purification purposes from the mixture.
Domestic purposes:
Sprinkler systems, heating the home systems, and expandable mattresses use the non-return valve. In some situations, the non-return valve provides safety to prevent contamination inside the water supply for domestic usage.
Industrial purposes:
In the fluid processing systems, including pharmaceuticals and power plants and the transportations’ fuel systems. They are using the nonreturn valve in the pipelines of their systems. The nitrogen feeding system uses the non-return valve in the dump lines in the nuclear industry. The non-return valve also helps in the systems of water control. The fuel injecting systems also use a non-return valve to operate along with the high-level pressure. It is used by aircraft and spacecraft while launching vehicles.
What benefits can you get after the installation of the non-return valve?
Following are the benefits you can receive after installing the non-return valve:
- The non-return valveworks operatically
- The cost of maintaining the non-return valveis less
- Availability of non-return valveis in a variety of ranges
- The size of the non-return valveis compact enough
- There is a reduction in sudden failure of the valves by the non-return valve
- The non-return valveprotects the pump, compressor, and other equipment
- It helps avoid the hammering of the water and energy-efficient
- Avoids the flow in the backward direction
- It is the best choice for pumping, water, and wastewater applications.
What are the uses and applications of the non-return valve?
From domestic to industrial usage, almost every system uses the non-return valve.Below is the list of systems using the non-return valve:
- Sprinkler systems
- Pumping systems
- Heating the house systems
- Boilers for the steam
- Nuclear industry
- Metering pumps

How is the working of the non-return valve work?
The non-return valveis along with the spring for the opening when the differential static pressure is established (subtracting the valve of upstream pressure and downstream pressure). It is the production of the opening force (differential pressure multiplies with the cross-sectional area of the non-return valve)that starts to act as the closing force. The required opening pressure is dependent on the tension of the spring, size, and installation position of the non-return valve.
At the beginning of your application, build up the static pressure between the pressure generator and the non-return valve.After reaching the opening pressure and crossing the limit of the force, then there is the beginning of volume flow. The upstream pressure of the non-return valvestarts to drop, so the closing force again disturbs the balance of the opening force to close the non-return valve.This procedure keeps repeating until and unless there is a large volume flow. It is due to the extra dynamic differential pressure and closing force being unable to close the non-return valve. It depends on the volume flow whether to open the non-return valveentirely or partially.
When the non-return valveopens partially, clattering occurs and reduces the volume flow. It is due to the effect on the non-return valveflapping on the seat. There is also a possibility that you can hear the humming sound frequently. It shows that your non-return valveis large and not suitable according to the requirements of the applications. Sometimes, you can listen to this noise while starting, shutting down, or partially loading the non-return valve.You can resolve this issue by decreasing the closing force and even using the non-return valvewithout the spring in the vertical pipes in the upward direction.
