Check valves are one-way, self-acting valves that let fluids or gases flow in one direction and do not allow backflow. They work without any energy input, and are protecting devices for pumps, compressors, and pipelines. The most common check valves include swing, lift, ball, and dual-plate check valves. The valves are constructed using one or more of the materials stainless steel, brass, cast iron, or PVC to perform different functions in the water system, oil and gas pipeline, or chemical industries. It is here that efficient functioning of the valve systems increases their maintenance and prevents any reverse flow that may damage or contaminate the pipeline.
