Low cracking pressure check valve
I'm looking for a source for spring loaded check valves with a cracking pressure less than 5" WC (0.18 psi) for nitrogen service. Balance valves316SS/PTFE construction will suffice. Safety valves Temperature is 0 - 40C. Sizes could range from 1/4" tubing to NPS 2 Cl 150 flanged.So far the lowest CP I've found is 1/3 psi. Suggestion:Below link to a datasheet from a well renowned disc check producer,Mud Valves Flowserve, Gestra (with variation on other product and material qualities from the same producer), could be a possible match to your question and anyway one of the best possible on the market.Competitors/other suppliers exist.Note the difference in cracking pressure depending on size, Globe Valvesflow and mounting direction.comment to Compositepro : I would not go for your suggestion in this case, both because of the low-temperature requirement, and that nitrogen in my opinion should have a more active closure than gravity alone.In addition a gravity based ball check-valve is slow, and might under circumstances give higher loss under opening or part opening and/or high pressure peaks when closing.Cleaned gas free of particles is presumed. Thanks for your advice.Compositepro - I'm looking into the duckbill type.Moltenmetal - the 100 series Circle Seal valve is an excellent recommendation - if I can get it in the right material. Although their website lists 316SS, Reducing Valvesmy local contact says it's only available in brass. I will persue at the factory level.ianinuts and ApC2KP - I am looking at Generant and Checkall as well.Again, my sincere appreciation for taking your time to help. And I'm still open for suggestions .
