UPVC Flange Check Valve Single Union
What is purpose of UPVC flange check valve?
The purpose of a PVC flange check valve is to allow fluid flow in one direction while preventing backflow in the opposite direction. This type of valve features a flange connection design for easy installation and removal in the piping system. PVC material is corrosion-resistant, making the valve suitable for applications involving a variety of fluids, including water, chemicals, and other non-corrosive substances. PVC flange check valves are commonly used in industries where preventing backflow and maintaining one-way fluid flow are critical to the efficient and safe operation of piping systems.
Which is better plastic check valve or metal check valve?
The choice of plastic or metal check valve depends on the specific requirements of the application. Here are some considerations for each type:
Plastic check valve:
Corrosion resistance: Plastic check valves, such as those made from UPVC, have excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for applications involving corrosive fluids.
-Lightweight: Plastic check valves are generally lighter than metal valves, which can be an advantage in certain installations.
Cost Effective: Plastic check valves are generally more cost effective than metal check valves.
Metal check valve:
High Temperature and High Pressure: Metal check valves are more suitable for high temperature and high pressure applications, while plastic valves may not be suitable.
Durability: Metal check valves are generally more durable and can withstand harsh operating conditions.
Compatibility: Metal check valves may be more suitable for certain types of fluids and environments.
Ultimately, the selection of plastic and metal check valves should be based on the specific requirements of the application, including factors such as fluid compatibility, temperature, pressure and environmental conditions.
