Non-Return Valve Chatter
Non-Return Valve Chatter
(OP)
Good Morning,
What are the minimum velocity requirements for disc non-return valves? Is there any manufacturers literature or design standards anywhere that recommend minimum velocities to prevent valve chatter?
Regards
John

Agreed, there seems to be a great deal of clap trap on the net re these min velocities for check valves, and they dont seem to differentiate between the min required velocity for vertical upflow and horizontal orientations either. If you ask me, it has more to do with rho-v2 through the check valve than with velocity. Also the type of spring used to load the check valve doesnt seem to be cranked into the criterion.

Vendor data is the only reliable one you will get, but my estimate for gas would be > 1m/sec and > 0.5 m/sec for liquid
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
