Troubleshooting of check valve

Troubleshooting of check valve:

1. The disc is broken
The reasons that cause the valve disc to break are:

The pressure of the medium before and after the check valve is close to balance and they are “see-saw” each other. The valve disc often beats against the valve seat, and the disc made of some brittle materials (such as cast iron, brass, etc.) is broken.

The preventive method is to use a check valve whose disc is a flexible material.

2. Medium backflow
The reasons for the backflow of the medium are:

①The sealing surface is damaged; ②Insert impurities.

Repairing the sealing surface and cleaning impurities can prevent backflow.
