Check valve issue
Thread Content
The outlet pressure of the check valve is 13 kilograms, while the inlet pressure is quite low, at around 2 kilograms. The medium flowing inside the pipeline is a viscous slurry. Will this damage the check valve? Thank you all for your answers!
It can be used as long as there is no leakage caused by the material pressing against the valve core. For reference.
It’s not a big problem; as long as there are no leaks or jams, it can be used. If you want to avoid any damage, the only option is not to use it{:9007}:
I don’t think damage is likely; the viscous medium might prevent the check valve from functioning properly to stop the flow. If particles need to be removed from the medium, it is not recommended to use a flip-type design; a spring-type design might be better
Why worry about it as long as it’s below the operating pressure of the check valve?
Viscosity only affects the reliability of the check valve.
Based on what you’re saying, the check valve can’t be opened at all, right?
