K Value for Wafer Check Valve?
K Value for Wafer Check Valve?
(OP)
I am doing some hydraulics and I can't seem to find the k value for a wafer style check valve anywhere. Anyone know where to find it or have an approximation that they use? I also need the k value for a duck billed check but I am not sure that there is a k value out there.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Will vary according to construction and exact size and dimensions. Find a decent supplier, they will publish on homepage or tell you direct.
