History of the ‘Basic-Check’ Valve

Posted by DFT Valves on

Since its initial development, the check valve has evolved from a classified request from the U.S. Navy to becoming a staple in flow control systems, allowing operators to easily stop reverse flow and water hammer while providing tight metal-to-metal closure. Some of the first all-stainless steel valves were engineered for use with cryogenic liquids and… Read More

What are the Types of Check Valves Used in the Gas Industry?

Posted by DFT Valves on

Common Check Valve Applications in the Gas Transmission Industry

Check valves are used in pipelines, hoses, and tubing to prevent backflow of liquids and gases. In the gas industry, this helps protect equipment from damage, reduce excessive vibration, and maintain steady production. A major use for check valves is normalizing the flow of gas during reciprocating compressor discharge in long-distance pipelines. Other natural gas… Read More
