Check Valve Manufacturers in India
In industrial piping systems, preventing reverse flow is critical to protecting pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, and process equipment. As check valve manufacturers in India, we design and supply automatic non-return valves that allow flow in one direction while reliably preventing backflow under varying operating conditions.
These valves function without external actuation, responding directly to flow velocity and line pressure. Manufactured using precision machining and validated through factory pressure and functional testing, our valves are engineered to perform consistently under real operating pressures, temperatures, and media characteristics. As an industrial check valve manufacturer and Manufacturer in India, Speciality Valve provides EPC-ready solutions suitable for domestic projects and export requirements, aligned with API, ASME, and ANSI standards.
What Does a Check Valve Do?
A check valve is an automatic valve that permits fluid flow in one direction and closes when flow reverses. The closing action is driven by gravity, spring force, or reverse pressure, making check valves a critical safety component for backflow prevention and equipment protection.
Check valves play a key role in maintaining system stability by preventing reverse rotation of pumps, avoiding pressure surges, and minimizing the risk of water hammer in pipelines.
Typical Functions of Check Valves
- Backflow prevention in pipelines
- Pump and compressor protection
- Line isolation during shutdown or power failure
- Pressure surge control and system stability
Which Check Valve Type Should You Use?
Different check valve designs are suited to specific flow patterns, pressure classes, and installation orientations. Selection is based on flow velocity, pressure rating, space constraints, and service conditions.
Common Industrial Check Valve Types
Dual Plate Check Valve
Compact design with two spring-loaded plates that ensure rapid closure. Commonly used in oil & gas pipelines and water treatment plants where space saving and reduced water hammer are critical.
Swing Check Valve
Uses a pivoting disc to prevent reverse flow. Suitable for low to moderate pressure applications such as water supply lines and large-diameter pipelines.
Non-Slam Swing Check Valve
Designed with controlled disc movement to minimize pressure surges. Preferred in power plant cooling systems and long pipeline runs.
Lift Check Valve
Vertically guided disc design suitable for high-pressure pipelines and applications with steady flow conditions.
Forged Steel Check Valve
Manufactured from forged carbon or alloy steel, ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature services in refineries and EPC projects.
Pressure Seal Check Valve
Used in ANSI Class 600 and above applications where sealing effectiveness increases with system pressure.
Tilting Disc Check Valve
Allows rapid closure with lower pressure drop, commonly used in power and chemical plants to reduce water hammer risk.
Each check valve type is selected based on application requirements, flow characteristics, and applicable standards.
Materials & Construction
Check valves are manufactured using materials selected for pressure containment, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability.
Common Body Materials
- Carbon Steel: WCB, LCB, LF2
- Stainless Steel: CF8, CF8M, CF3, CF3M
- Duplex & Alloy Grades: F51, F55, Alloy 20
As a carbon steel check valve manufacturer and stainless steel CF8 / CF8M check valve Manufacturer, options are available for corrosive, high-temperature, and offshore environments. Disc design, seat configuration, hinge pins, and spring mechanisms are engineered to ensure tight shut-off, reduced wear, and stable operation.
Sizes, Pressure Ratings & Applicable Standards
Check valves are supplied to meet diverse piping and EPC project specifications:
- Sizes: ½” to 48”
- Pressure Class: ANSI Class 150 to Class 2500
- PN Ratings: PN10 to PN420
- End Connections: Flanged, Butt Weld, Socket Weld, Threaded
- Operation: Automatic (flow-operated)
Standards & Compliance
- ASME B16.34 pressure–temperature ratings
- API check valve requirements (as applicable by design)
- ANSI pressure class compliance
- Factory-tested check valves as per international codes
This supports buyers seeking an ASME, API, or ANSI check valve manufacturer for EPC and industrial applications.
Where Check Valves Are Commonly Applied?
Industrial check valves are used where reverse flow can compromise safety or equipment reliability:
- Oil & gas processing units and pipelines
- Power plants and cooling water systems
- Chemical and petrochemical plants
- Water treatment plants and pumping stations
- Marine, offshore, and industrial utility services
Flow fluctuation, pressure surges, installation orientation, and media properties are considered during selection.
Quality Control & Testing
Each check valve undergoes systematic inspection and testing before dispatch:
- Hydrostatic shell and seat pressure testing
- Backflow leakage and sealing verification
- Functional opening and closing checks
- Dimensional, visual, and documentation inspection
These tests ensure reliable closing performance and long service life under operating conditions.
Check Valve Selection Support
Selecting the correct check valve is essential to avoid chatter, excessive pressure loss, or premature failure. Engineering support is provided based on:
- Flow rate and velocity calculations
- Horizontal or vertical installation orientation
- Operating pressure and temperature limits
- Media type, including corrosive or seawater service
This ensures application-specific performance rather than generic valve selection.
