API Standard Swing Check Valve – Overview
An API standard swing check valve is a non-return valve designed in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) specifications, ensuring consistent quality, performance, and safety across a range of industrial applications. This valve type automatically prevents backflow by utilizing a swinging disc mechanism that opens under forward flow and closes when flow reverses, protecting pumps, compressors, and piping systems.
Key Design Features
API Compliance
Manufactured to API 6D or API 594 standards for precise dimensional accuracy, performance reliability, and compatibility with global pipeline systems.
Swing Disc Mechanism
The hinged disc swings away from the seat during forward flow and returns to the closed position under reverse flow or gravity.
Material Options
Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, or duplex materials to suit various pressure, temperature, and corrosive environments.
End Connections
Flanged, butt weld, and socket weld ends for seamless integration into pipeline networks.
