Introduction
Check valves are dened as automatic valves which open with forward ow and close against reverse ow. Although most check valves are relatively simple in design and, if constructed correctly, quite rugged, it is critical that the proper type of check valve be selected. Use of the wrong type of check valve can result in operability problems and/or continual requirements for valve maintenance. This guide is intended to assist the user in the sizing and selection of the best check valve for a given application.

allowable pressure drop through the valve, rate of ow reversal, isolation requirements, space limitations, and location and orientation of the valve in the piping system. This information should then be used in conjunction with the table below to identify a tentative valve selection. The adequacy of the tentative selection can then be veried by consulting the referenced appendix.
rugged than other types of check valves. In addition, the relatively large amount of disc travel can result in high disc velocities and correspondingly high impact loads during sudden opening and closing. Can be installed in horizontal as well as vertical lines Anchor/ Darling swing check valves can be installed in horizontal lines as well as in vertical lines. If installed in a vertical line, the normal ow must be upward in order for gravity to assist in disc closure. A swing check should always be installed with the hinge pin horizontal. Ease of maintenance Due to their at seating surfaces and simple construction, swing check valves are the easiest check valves to maintain. For special applications, such as where ALARA is a consideration, Flowserve Anchor/Darling can provide designs which reduce the required time for disassembly and maintenance to an absolute minimum.
across the disc is relatively large. For tight shutoff at lower differential pressure (less than approximately 100 psi) an elastomeric dual seat is recommended.
Sizing
Although operation in the fully open position is preferred, Anchor/ Darling TDC valves are designed to open and maintain a stable disc position at relatively low uid velocities. The minimum recommended line velocity for TDC valves can be determined from the following formula: Minimum Recommended Line Velocity (ft/s) = 24 where = Specic Volume of the Fluid (ft3/lbm) For most TDC valves the minimum line velocity to fully open the valve can be approximated from the following formula: Minimum Line Velocity to Fully Open the Valve (ft/s) = 135
Sizing
Swing check valves should be sized such that the ow velocity in the line is sufcient to hold the disc in the fully open position. For most Anchor/Darling swing check valves, the minimum line velocity for full disc lift can be approximated from the following formula: Minimum Line Velocity (ft/s) = 75 where = Specic Volume of the Fluid (ft3/lb)
Installation Orientation
For optimum performance, lift check valves should be installed with the neck of the valve upright and vertical. When installed in this position, the force, due to the weight of the disc, acts along the centerline of the neck and the seat, thus helping to center the disc and reducing wear due to disc drag on the body and seat.
and with the disc in a partially open position. The minimum recommended line velocity can be determined from the following formula: Minimum Recommended Line Velocity (ft/s) = 12 where = Specic Volume of the Fluid (ft3/lbm) For most lift check valves, the velocity to fully open the valve can be approximated from the following formula: Minimum Line Velocity to Fully Open the Valve (ft/s) = 32 for T-Globe Lift Check Valves = 113 for Y and Angle Globe Lift Check Valves
Sizing
Although operation in the fully open position is preferred, globe lift check valves are acceptable for operation at relatively low ow rates Globe Lift* Check Valves
