Material of Construction
Single plate wafer check valves are available in multiple body and disc material combinations to suit various service conditions from general water service to aggressive chemical and marine applications.
| Component | Standard Materials | Stainless Steel Options |
|---|---|---|
| Body | CI / MS / SGI / WCB | CF8 (SS304) / CF8M (SS316) |
| Disc | MS / WCB / CF8 / CF8M | CF8 (SS304) / CF8M (SS316) |
| Seat | Nitrile / EPDM / Silicon / Viton / PTFE | |
| Spring | SS316 (Standard for all configurations) | |
Material Selection Guide
For water and HVAC applications, CI body with EPDM seat is standard. For chemical service, specify CF8M (SS316) body with PTFE or Viton seat. For high-temperature service above 120°C, use metal-seated or PTFE-seated configurations. All springs are SS316 as standard for corrosion resistance.

Dimension Notes
ØA = Face-to-face dimension (overall length). ØB = Minimum bore diameter. C = Wafer thickness/center dimension. PN10 and PN16 share identical face-to-face dimensions for sizes DN40–DN200. For DN250 and above, slight variations exist. Class 150 (PN25) dimensions are generally longer than PN10/PN16 for the same size.
Cracking Pressure Data
Cracking pressure is the minimum differential pressure required to open the check valve disc. Understanding cracking pressure is critical for pump selection and system design, especially in low-flow or gravity-fed applications.
Table 3: Cracking Pressure (mbar)| Size (DN) | Forward Flow ↑ (mbar) | Reverse Flow → (mbar) |
|---|---|---|
| 40 | 17.5 | 1.05 |
| 50 | 12.4 | 0.75 |
| 65 | 8.8 | 0.53 |
| 80 | 10.4 | 0.62 |
| 100 | 9.6 | 0.58 |
| 125 | 10.5 | 0.63 |
| 150 | 10.8 | 0.65 |
| 200 | 15.3 | 0.92 |
| 250 | 16.9 | 1.02 |
| 300 | 20.7 | 1.24 |
| 350 | 17.5 | 1.05 |
| 400 | 19.1 | 1.15 |
| 450 | 19.9 | 1.19 |
| 500 | 16.6 | 1.00 |
| 600 | 23.9 | 1.43 |
Cracking Pressure Engineering Note
Forward cracking pressure increases with valve size due to larger disc area and spring force requirements. Reverse cracking pressure (backflow sealing) remains consistently low (0.5–1.5 mbar) across all sizes, ensuring excellent backflow prevention. For gravity-fed systems or low-head applications, consider the forward cracking pressure when selecting valve size.
Technical Notes & Installation
Installation Orientation
Single plate wafer check valves can be installed in horizontal or vertical pipelines. For vertical installation, ensure flow direction is upward. The flow direction arrow cast on the valve body must align with pipeline flow direction.
Flange Compatibility
Wafer design fits between ANSI B16.5, DIN PN10/PN16/PN25, BS 10TD/10TE, and IS 1538 flanges. Use full set of stud bolts and nuts. Do not use partial bolt sets as this can cause uneven loading and leakage.
Maintenance Requirements
Single plate check valves are maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. The spring-loaded design ensures rapid closure to prevent water hammer. No external lubrication or adjustment required.
Testing & Certification
All valves are hydrostatically tested per API 598 standards. Shell test at 1.5x rated pressure, seat test at 1.1x rated pressure. Material Test Certificates (MTC) provided with every shipment.
Applications & Industries
Water & Wastewater
Municipal water supply, distribution networks, pump discharge protection, ETP/STP plants. CI body with EPDM seat is standard for clean water service.
HVAC Systems
Chilled water and condenser water circuits, cooling tower lines, boiler feed systems. Prevents reverse flow and water hammer in large-diameter headers.
Chemical Processing
