✓ Lift (Piston) type provides faster closing and tighter sealing than swing type — ideal for high-pressure small-bore service requiring zero leakage
Lift (Piston) Type vs Swing Type Check Valve
| Parameter | Lift (Piston) Type | Swing Type |
|---|---|---|
| Disc Movement | Piston moves along flow axis | Disc swings on hinge pin |
| Closing Speed | Fast (short stroke) | Slower (longer swing) |
| Leak Tightness | Tighter (guided disc) | Good |
| Pressure Drop | Higher | Lower (full bore) |
| Installation | Horizontal or vertical upward | Horizontal (recommended) |
| Typical Application | High-pressure small-bore, instrument lines | Larger sizes, pipeline service |
Reference: API 602, BS 5352. Lift (Piston) type is preferred for high-pressure small-bore service (NPS 1/2 to NPS 2) requiring fast closing and tight sealing; Swing type is preferred for larger sizes and lower pressure drop.
RF (Raised Face) vs RTJ (Ring Type Joint) Flange Facing
| Parameter | RF (Raised Face) | RTJ (Ring Type Joint) |
|---|---|---|
| Sealing Method | Flat/spiral gasket on raised face | Metal ring gasket in machined groove |
| Pressure Range | Class 150 to 900 | Class 600 to 2500 |
| Sealing Integrity | Good | Excellent (metal-to-metal) |
| Reusability | Gasket can be reused | Ring gasket typically replaced |
| Typical Application | General high-pressure service | Class 900+ critical HP service, wellhead |
Reference: ASME B16.5. For Class 900 flanged lift check valves, both RF and RTJ are available. RTJ is recommended for critical high-pressure service where zero leakage is essential.

FAQ - Carbon Steel A105N 900Lb Flanged Lift Check Valve
Q1: What is a lift check valve and how does it work?
A: A lift check valve (also called piston check valve) uses a piston or plug disc that moves along the flow axis. When forward flow enters, the piston lifts off the seat; when flow stops or reverses, the piston drops back onto the seat to close. This design provides fast closing and tight sealing, making it ideal for high-pressure small-bore service. The guided piston ensures the disc returns to the same position every time, providing reliable leak tightness.
Q2: What is the difference between A105N and A105?
A: A105N is the normalized version of ASTM A105 forged carbon steel. The normalization heat treatment refines the grain structure, resulting in better impact toughness, more uniform hardness, and a lower ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. A105N is preferred for high-pressure Class 900 and above forged valve bodies, especially in sour service and low-temperature applications. A105 (as-forged) is suitable for general forged valve service at moderate pressure and temperature.
Q3: What is the difference between lift type and swing type check valves?
A: Lift (Piston) type uses a piston that moves along the flow axis, providing fast closing and tight sealing — ideal for high-pressure small-bore service (NPS 1/2 to NPS 2). Swing type uses a hinged disc that swings on a hinge pin, providing lower pressure drop — suitable for larger sizes and pipeline service. For Class 900 flanged small-bore service, lift type is generally preferred due to its faster closing and tighter sealing characteristics.
Q4: When should I use RF or RTJ flanges for Class 900?
A: RF (Raised Face) uses a flat or spiral wound gasket on a raised face, suitable for Class 150 to 900 general service. RTJ (Ring Type Joint) uses a metal ring gasket seated in a machined groove, providing metal-to-metal sealing for Class 600 to 2500 critical service. For Class 900 flanged lift check valves, both are available. RF is preferred for general high-pressure service; RTJ is recommended for critical high-pressure service where zero leakage is essential, such as wellhead equipment and gas injection systems.
Q5: What trim materials are available for A105N 900Lb lift check valves?
A: Standard trim options include Trim 1# (13Cr), Trim 5# (Stellite), Trim 8# (13Cr + Stellite), and stainless steel (SS304, SS316). Trim selection depends on the media, temperature, and erosion/corrosion conditions. For high-pressure steam and erosion service, Stellite hard-facing (Trim 5#) is recommended. For corrosive media, stainless steel trim (SS304 or SS316) is preferred.
Q6: Is NACE MR 0175 available for sour service?
A: Yes, NACE MR 0175 compliance is available on request for sour service applications. This includes material selection, hardness control, and testing requirements to ensure resistance to sulfide stress cracking. A105N forged carbon steel with appropriate trim and hardness control is commonly used for sour service Class 900 lift check valves. Please specify NACE MR 0175 in your inquiry.
