*Note:

Flanges, bolts (or studs), nuts and joint gaskets are to be

provided by the installer. Disc check valves are non-maintainable

(no spares are available). Disc check valves are not suitable for use

where heavily pulsating flow exists, such as close to a compressor.

Pressure loss in bar

Pressure loss diagram with open valve at 20°C. The values indicated

are applicable to spring loaded valves with horizontal flow. With

vertical flow, insignificant deviations occur only within the range of

partial opening.

Various options are denoted by a marking on the valve body:-

'N'

– High temperature spring – Standardmetaldisc

The curves given in the chart are valid for water at 20°C. To determine

the pressure for other fluids the equivalent water volume flowrate

must be calculated and used in the graph.

can be installed in any plane. When

supplied without a spring they must be

fitted in a vertical flow line with the flow

No identification indicates a standard spring with a metal disc.

Disposal

If a product which contains a Viton component has been subjected

to a temperature approaching 315°C or higher, then it may have

decomposed and formed hydrofluoric acid. Avoid skin contact and

inhalation of any fumes as the acid will cause deep skin burns and

damage to the respiratory system. Viton must be disposed of in a

recognised manner as stated in the Installation and Maintenance

Instructions (IM-P134-22). No other ecological hazard is anticipated

with the disposal of this product providing due care is taken.

= Equivalent water volume flow in l/s or m3/h

Where: Vw

V = Volume of fluid l/s or m3/h

= Density of fluid kg/m3

Pressure loss information for steam, compressed air and gases is

available from Spirax Sarco.

How to order

Example: 1 off Spirax Sarco DN15, DCV6 stainless steel disc check

valve for fitting between EN 1092 PN40 flanges.
