Alloy 20 Dual Plate Lug Type Check Valve
An Alloy 20 Dual Plate Lug Type Check Valve is a corrosion-resistant non-return valve designed to prevent reverse flow in industrial piping systems. Its dual-plate construction provides a compact wafer-style check valve arrangement, while the lug-type body allows installation between flanges using suitable bolting.
Alloy 20 construction or wetted components can be selected for applications where enhanced resistance to specific corrosive process media is required. These valves are suitable for consideration in chemical processing, acid handling, petrochemical, fertilizer, pharmaceutical, water, and general process industries, subject to material compatibility.
We supply Alloy 20 Dual Plate Lug Type Check Valves in different sizes, pressure classes, materials, trims, spring configurations, and connection arrangements according to customer and project requirements.
Alloy 20 Dual Plate Check Valve Manufacturer and Supplier
We provide Alloy 20 Dual Plate Lug Type Check Valve solutions for applications requiring reliable prevention of reverse flow and compact pipeline installation.
The valve can be specified according to:
- Valve Size
- Pressure Class
- Body Material
- Plate Material
- Stem Material
- Spring Material
- Seat Material
- Lug Connection
- Face-to-Face Dimension
- Operating Temperature

- Project Specification
The final material combination should always be selected based on the actual process fluid and operating conditions.
What Is an Alloy 20 Dual Plate Lug Type Check Valve?
A Dual Plate Check Valve uses two spring-loaded plates mounted on a central hinge or shaft arrangement. When forward flow occurs, the plates open. When flow decreases or reverses, the springs assist the plates in returning toward the closed position.
The valve is designed to prevent unwanted reverse flow through the pipeline.
Lug Type Construction
A Lug Type Check Valve has external lugs around the valve body for connection to the pipeline flanges.
This construction provides a convenient bolting arrangement and can be useful where individual pipe-side isolation or specific installation requirements are involved.
Alloy 20 Material
Alloy 20, also known as Carpenter 20, is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with additions that provide corrosion resistance in selected chemical environments.
It is commonly considered for certain chemical-processing and acid-related services.
However, Alloy 20 should not automatically be assumed suitable for every corrosive fluid. Material compatibility depends on:
- Chemical Composition
- Concentration
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Chloride Content
- Fluid Velocity
- Oxidizing Conditions
- Reducing Conditions
- Contaminants
For critical applications, material compatibility should be confirmed by an appropriate corrosion or materials specialist.
Dual Plate Check Valve Construction
A typical dual plate check valve can include:
- Valve Body
- Two Plates
- Hinge/Shaft
- Springs
- Seat
- Retainer Components
- Body Sealing Components
Depending on the valve specification, Alloy 20 may be used for the body and/or wetted components, while springs, seats, plates, and other parts may use different compatible materials.
Spring-Loaded Plates
The two plates are assisted by springs to return toward the closed position when forward flow reduces.
This can help minimize reverse flow and improve the valve’s closing response.
Compact Design
Dual plate check valves are generally compact compared with many conventional swing check valve designs, making them suitable for applications where installation space is limited.

Alloy 20 Dual Plate Check Valve for Chemical Industry
Chemical plants frequently handle aggressive fluids that require carefully selected materials.
An Alloy 20 Dual Plate Check Valve can be considered for compatible applications involving:
- Chemical Processing
- Acid Handling
- Chemical Transfer
- Fertilizer Production
- Chemical Storage
- Process Dosing
- Corrosive Process Fluids
The complete process specification should be reviewed before selecting Alloy 20.
Alloy 20 Check Valve for Acid Service
Alloy 20 is often considered for selected acid services because of its corrosion-resistant characteristics.
However, the actual suitability depends strongly on the acid type, concentration, temperature, impurities, and operating conditions.
For example, sulfuric-acid service can have substantially different corrosion behavior at different concentrations and temperatures.
Material Compatibility Is Important
Before ordering an Alloy 20 check valve for acid service, provide:
- Acid Type
- Concentration
- Operating Temperature
- Operating Pressure
- Flow Rate
- Fluid Composition
- Valve Size
- Required Material
- Seat Requirement
This information helps determine whether Alloy 20 is appropriate for the application.
Alloy 20 Check Valve for Petrochemical Industry
Petrochemical plants use check valves to prevent reverse flow and protect pumps, compressors, pipelines, and process equipment.
A suitably configured Alloy 20 Dual Plate Lug Type Check Valve may be considered for compatible corrosive process services.
Advantages of Dual Plate Lug Type Check Valve
Prevents Reverse Flow
The primary function is to allow flow in one direction and restrict reverse flow.
Compact Construction
The dual-plate configuration offers a compact alternative to many conventional check valve designs.
Lug Type Installation
The lug body provides a bolting arrangement suitable for installation between pipeline flanges.
Spring-Assisted Closing
Springs assist the plates in moving toward the closed position when forward flow decreases.
Automatic Operation
No external actuator is normally required because the valve responds automatically to flow conditions.
Corrosion-Resistant Material Options
Alloy 20 and other compatible materials can be selected for suitable corrosive services.
