• Petrochemical: Hydrocracking, hydrotreating, catalytic cracking, reformer units.
• Chemical Processing: High-pressure corrosive fluid backflow prevention, reagent feed lines.
• Gas Injection and Compression: Natural gas compressor lines, gas injection wells.
• Instrumentation: High-pressure instrument root valves, sensing line isolation.
FAQ - Forged Check Valve Class 900 - 1500 - 2500LBS
Q1: What is the difference between Class 900, 1500 and 2500 forged check valves?
A: Class 900 (153 bar / 2,220 psi) is suitable for high-pressure steam and gas transmission. Class 1500 (260 bar / 3,750 psi) is designed for wellhead, gas injection, and high-pressure process service. Class 2500 (430 bar / 6,250 psi) handles HP steam generators and gas compressor lines. Higher classes have thicker wall sections, heavier flanges, and longer face-to-face dimensions.
Q2: Why does Class 2500 have a separate L(RTJ) dimension?
A: Class 2500 forged check valves are typically supplied with RTJ (Ring Type Joint) flanges due to the extreme pressure rating. The RTJ gasket sits in a machined groove, which requires a slightly longer face-to-face dimension compared to RF (Raised Face). For example, a 2 inch Class 2500 valve has L(RF) = 450 mm but L(RTJ) = 454 mm. This 4 mm difference must be considered during piping layout.
Q3: How do I choose between Vertical (Lifting) and Swing type?
A: Vertical (Lifting) type uses a piston that moves along the flow axis, providing faster closing and tighter sealing — preferred for high-pressure small-bore service. Swing type uses a hinged disc that swings on a hinge pin, providing lower pressure drop — suitable for larger sizes. For Class 2500, only Vertical type is available due to the extreme pressure rating. For Class 900-1500, both types are available, and the weight difference is typically 2-10% (e.g., 1/2 inch Class 900: Vertical 5.2 kg vs Swing 5.0 kg).
Q4: Why is Swing type not available for Class 2500?
A: Class 2500 operates at approximately 430 bar (6,250 psi), which requires maximum wall thickness and structural integrity. The swing type design, with its hinged disc and hinge pin, is not structurally suitable for this pressure class. Vertical (Lifting) type is the standard design for Class 2500, providing better sealing reliability at extreme pressure.
Q5: When should I use RTJ instead of RF for Class 900-2500?
A: RTJ (Ring Type Joint) uses a metal ring gasket in a machined groove, providing superior sealing integrity under high pressure and temperature. RF (Raised Face) uses a flat gasket and is suitable for lower pressure service. For Class 900 and above, RTJ is the recommended choice for critical service such as wellhead equipment, high-pressure steam, and gas injection. RF can still be used for less critical applications.
Q6: How does face-to-face length change with pressure class?
A: Face-to-face dimensions increase with higher pressure classes due to thicker walls and larger flanges. For example, a 1/2 inch forged check valve has L(RF) of 216 mm in Class 900/1500, and 264 mm in Class 2500. A 2 inch valve has 371 mm in Class 900/1500, and 450 mm (RF) or 454 mm (RTJ) in Class 2500. Always verify the dimension against the actual pressure class during piping design.
