How to Determine if the Brake Check Valve is Damaged?

[SanEli]

If the check valve does not function, it indicates that the brake check valve is damaged. Below is a detailed explanation of the check valve: 1. Definition: A check valve, also known as a non-return valve or one-way valve, allows fluid to flow in only one direction. If reverse flow occurs, the valve automatically closes to prevent high-pressure fluid from entering a low-pressure system. 2. Precautions: When installing a check valve, special attention must be paid to the direction of fluid flow. The normal flow direction should align with the arrow indicated on the valve body; otherwise, it will block the normal flow of the medium. The bottom valve should be installed at the bottom end of the pump suction pipeline. When the check valve closes, it can cause water hammer pressure in the pipeline, which may severely damage the valve, pipeline, or equipment, especially in large-diameter or high-pressure pipelines. Therefore, users should pay close attention to the selection of check valves. Check valves are designed solely to prevent reverse flow of fluid media in various pipelines or equipment and function as one-way shut-off valves.
