What is a Swing Check SubSea Valve?

What is a Swing Check SubSea Valve?

What is a Swing Check SubSea Valve?

(OP)
A Customer is asking ma a swing check subsea valve.
The thecnical specification is not really clear, all the design is referred to API 6D. Only the coating spec. is special.

Do you have experience of standard subsea check valves?
There are some special features in the design or a swing check subsea valve is like a standard swing check valve with a special painting?

Do I need some protection for the body-bonnet bolting connection and for the body-bonnet gasket?

Thank you so much for your help!!!!

RE: What is a Swing Check SubSea Valve?

Ask the customer to clarify what _he_ thinks the specification means for you.

If you buy and deliver one of these to him, he should be a very happy client.
