Introduction to IC Disc Check Valve

The IC Disc Check Valve is a critical flow-control component widely used in Indian industrial piping systems to prevent reverse flow and protect pumps, pipelines, and process equipment. Designed for reliability, compact installation, and long service life, IC disc check valves are extensively used across water supply networks, HVAC systems, fire protection lines, chemical processing units, power plants, refineries, and general industrial utilities.

At Krishna Industries, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, we supply high-quality IC Disc Check Valves engineered to meet the demanding operating conditions commonly found in Indian industries. Our valves are manufactured using precision-machined components, robust materials, and proven designs to ensure consistent performance under varying pressure and temperature conditions.

Also known in the market as in-line check valve, disc type non return valve, compact check valve, or spring loaded disc check valve, this valve type is preferred where space-saving installation, low pressure drop, and fast response to flow reversal are essential. The IC Disc Check Valve operates automatically, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing the risk of water hammer and system damage.

Krishna Industries focuses exclusively on serving Indian buyers with dependable supply, competitive pricing, and consistent product quality. Whether you are a hardware trader, industrial distributor, project contractor, or plant maintenance team, our IC Disc Check Valve range is suitable for bulk procurement and repeat usage across multiple applications.

What is an IC Disc Check Valve?

An IC Disc Check Valve is an automatic non-return valve that allows fluid to flow in only one direction. It uses an internal disc mechanism that opens when forward flow pressure is present and closes immediately when flow stops or reverses. The closure is typically assisted by a spring, ensuring rapid shut-off and minimizing backflow.

Unlike swing check valves, IC disc check valves have a compact, in-line design that can be installed in horizontal or vertical pipelines (subject to design and application). This makes them highly suitable for installations where space is limited or where consistent performance is required regardless of mounting orientation.

Key Features of IC Disc Check Valve

• Compact and space-saving in-line design
• Fast closing disc to reduce reverse flow and water hammer
• Low pressure drop compared to conventional check valves
• Spring-assisted closure for reliable operation
• Suitable for horizontal and vertical installations
• Minimal maintenance due to simple internal construction
• Long service life under continuous operating conditions
• Available in multiple sizes and pressure ratings

Construction and Design Details

The IC Disc Check Valve supplied by Krishna Industries is built with precision-engineered components to ensure durability and leak-free performance. The valve body is typically manufactured from cast iron, ductile iron, carbon steel, or stainless steel depending on application requirements. The internal disc is accurately machined and guided to ensure smooth movement and perfect alignment during opening and closing cycles.

A corrosion-resistant spring is used to assist disc closure, ensuring quick response even at low flow rates. Sealing elements are selected based on fluid type, temperature, and pressure to ensure tight shut-off and reduced wear over time. The compact body design reduces material usage while maintaining structural strength, making it cost-effective for bulk buyers.

Working Principle

When fluid enters the IC Disc Check Valve in the forward direction, the pressure pushes the disc away from the seat, compressing the spring and allowing flow through the valve. As long as forward pressure is maintained, the valve remains open.

When flow decreases, stops, or attempts to reverse, the spring force combined with reverse pressure pushes the disc back onto the seat, instantly closing the valve. This automatic action prevents backflow, protects upstream equipment, and maintains system efficiency without any external control.

Applications of IC Disc Check Valve in Indian Industries

IC Disc Check Valves are widely used across multiple sectors in India due to their versatility and reliability. Common applications include:

• Water supply and distribution pipelines
• HVAC and chilled water systems
• Fire fighting and sprinkler networks
• Process industries and utility lines
• Chemical and pharmaceutical plants
• Power generation and boiler feed systems
• Oil, gas, and refinery utility piping
• Industrial pumping stations

Advantages Over Conventional Check Valves

Compared to swing check valves or lift check valves, IC disc check valves offer several practical advantages for Indian buyers. The compact design reduces installation space and overall system weight. Faster closing action minimizes pressure surges and water hammer, which is a common concern in long pipeline networks.

Lower maintenance requirements and consistent performance make IC disc check valves ideal for applications where reliability and operational continuity are critical. For traders and contractors, this means fewer complaints, reduced after-sales issues, and better end-user satisfaction.
