This post is shared from https://www.instructables.com/ If you’re going to build yourself a water-gun or a water pump in the coming hot summer, you’ll need some check valves. Buy one from the store? Or you can just make one by yourself. The most expensive parts of a water pump are usually the check valves. In this project, we’re making some from scratch, for as little as you can imagine. Before we started, please watch the video first. WARNING: The pressure tests and claims made on these check-valves is based solely on my personal experiences with the ones demonstrated in the video. Individual results may vary, and caution and care should be…

Sanitary Double Check Valve-An Overview
What is a check valve? A check valve, or a one-way valve, is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. It is a type of two-port valves. In other words, it has two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various types of check valves used in a wide variety of applications. The check valve is available in a wide range of sizes and costs, check valves generally are very small, simple, or inexpensive. Check valve work automatically and most are not controlled by a person or any external…

Valve Collection: 8 Types of Valve
Gate Valve The gate valve is one of the most commonly used on-off valves that utilizes the gate to turn on (fully open) and cut off (fully closed) the media in the pipeline. The gate is lifted and lowered in a plane perpendicular to the center line of the gate seat passage and cut the medium in the pipeline like a gate, so it is called a gate valve. This type of valve cannot be used for throttling. Feautures： 1. The flow resistance is small. The inner medium passage of the valve body is straight so the medium flows in a straight line and the flow resistance is thus small.…

How to test sanitary check valves?
In the previous weeks, we have talked about many interesting things of sanitary valves, ball valves and butterfly valves. Today, our focus is the “belated” check valves. Check valves, also known as one-way valves, are used to prevent the pipeline water back in the media. Check valves have two ports, one for fluid to enter and the other for exit. Check valves work automatically and most of them are not controlled by a person or any external control. Accordingly, most check valves do not have any valve handle or stem. Check valves are used in a wide range of applications, both as sanitary check valves and industrial check valves. Here is…

Seven tips to help you better maintain your valves
The valve is a control component in the fluid delivery system. It has functions such as cut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of backflow, shunting or overflow relief. Valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metals and radioactive media, and are widely used in our daily life as well as various industries. In order to extend the service life of the valve, we need to do a good job in the storage of the valve. Next, Adamant Valves will tell you how to keep the valve. The purpose of good storage of the valve is…
