Non-Slam Check Valves: Preventing Water Hammer and Reverse-Flow Damage

Check valve slam is a leading cause of pipeline shock, ruptured joints, and damaged pumps. This guide explains the physics of slam and how non-slam check valve designs are selected using the valve's dynamic closing characteristic.

Check Valve Types - Swing, Dual Plate, Piston, Ball: How to Choose

Check valves (non-return valves) prevent backflow - but choosing the wrong check valve type leads to water hammer, premature wear, or nuisance reverse flow. Swing, dual plate, piston, ball, and tilting disc check valves each have different closure speeds, pressure drop characteristics, and suitability for different services. This guide explains the differences and how to select correctly.

Check Valve Types: Swing, Dual Plate, Lift, Tilting Disc & Wafer - Complete Guide

Check valves (non-return valves) are the only self-acting valve type in industrial piping - they open on forward flow and close automatically when flow stops or reverses, protecting pumps, compressors, and pipelines from reverse flow damage. Selecting the right check valve type is critical to prevent water hammer, excessive pressure drop, and premature failure.
