4. Working Principle
The spring-loaded lift type check valve operates automatically under flow pressure without external actuation. When fluid flows in the correct direction (forward flow), the pressure of the fluid lifts the disc off the seat, allowing flow through the valve body. The compression spring is temporarily compressed during this process.
When the flow rate decreases or reverses, the spring force and reverse pressure act together to push the disc back onto the seat, closing the valve instantly. This rapid response prevents water hammer, backflow, and pressure surges in the system.
This axial lift motion design provides:
Quick closure response due to the preloaded spring
Leak-tight sealing when backflow occurs
Reduced seat wear because of linear movement
Compact body structure compared to swing check valves
For horizontal installations, the valve is generally designed with a vertical lift axis and guide to ensure stable operation. In vertical pipelines (upward flow), the valve naturally aligns with the flow direction, allowing smooth disc movement.
5.Features and Advantages
Compact and Robust Design
The lift-type configuration occupies less space than swing check valves and provides higher structural strength. The short disc travel reduces mechanical stress and ensures long-term reliability.
Spring-Loaded Mechanism
The integrated spring enables faster closing action, minimizing backflow duration and water hammer risk. It is particularly suitable for high-pressure and high-speed flow systems.
Tight Sealing Performance
Precision-machined sealing surfaces and optional metal-to-metal or soft-seat configurations ensure leak-free performance under all rated conditions.
Maintenance-Friendly Construction
The bolted bonnet design allows easy disassembly and inspection. Seat and disc components can be replaced or refurbished without removing the entire valve from the pipeline.
Versatile Installation
Applicable for both horizontal and vertical upward flow pipelines. The design adapts to varied piping layouts while maintaining optimal flow characteristics.
Standardized Connections
DIN flange ends ensure compatibility with European piping systems. Standard pressure ratings (PN10–PN40) allow flexible system integration.
Long Service Life
High-quality materials, corrosion-resistant internals, and durable springs contribute to a long operational lifespan, even under demanding service conditions.

7. Testing and Quality Assurance
Each valve undergoes hydrostatic shell and seat leak tests per EN 12266-1 to ensure performance integrity. Dimensional and visual inspections verify compliance with DIN specifications, and non-destructive testing (NDT) may be conducted upon request.
