Product Name: API 6D Swing Check Valves
Design Standard: API 6D
Body Material: ASTM A216 WCB
Size: 6 Inch, DN150
Pressure: Class 600 LB, PN100
End Connection: RF Flanged
Universal Cast Steel Check Valves are designed and manufactured strictly to international standards such as API 6D, BS 1868, ASME B16.34, or equivalent. These valves are engineered to reduce flow resistance and pressure drop to the minimum possible extent. They are suitable for installation in a horizontal position only. The lapped and screwed seat ring ensures a tight shut-off and long-lasting service.
The valve's disc is perfectly designed, accurately machined, and guided for efficient automatic shut-off at zero pressure. Key features include a compact structure and low-emission service. In its standard configuration, the swing check valve has a bolted cover and a free-swinging clapper. The clapper, which is the closing member, responds to prevailing flow conditions.
Swing check valves are best suited for horizontal pipeline installation. However, for heavier disc weights, chattering issues can occur. In such cases, dampers or counterweights should be provided.

Product Features
» Effective Backflow Prevention: Designed to prevent reverse flow, the cast steel swing check valve allows forward flow in a straight line with minimal pressure drop. The disc swings open with media flow and closes under back pressure.
» Versatile Installation Options: These valves can be installed in horizontal or vertical pipelines, provided they are aligned with the flow direction arrow marked on the valve body.
» Customizable Accessories: Optional features such as bypasses, locking devices, counterweights, and more are available to cater to specific customer needs.
