A pressure seal swing check valve is a type of non-return valve used in power generation, oil and gas, and industrial process systems that is intended for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Its swing-type disc permits flow in a single direction and, in the case that the flow reverses, automatically closes to stop backflow. As pressure rises, the pressure seal bonnet design ensures leak-tight performance by improving the seal between the body and dome using the internal system pressure.
Unlike bolted bonnets, pressure seal bonnets use internal pressure to improve the seal as pressure increases.
Hinged disc swings open with forward flow and closes automatically with reverse flow to prevent backflow.
Designed for critical service conditions, typically in ANSI Class 900–2500 pressure ranges.
Provides tight shutoff and high durability in severe environments; often hard-faced with materials like Stellite.
Rugged construction and fewer leak paths reduce the need for frequent maintenance.
