Alloy 20 Swing Check Valve
An Alloy 20 Swing Check Valve is a corrosion-resistant non-return valve designed to prevent reverse flow in industrial piping systems. It is particularly suited to applications where material compatibility and resistance to selected aggressive chemical environments are important.
Alloy 20, also known as Carpenter 20 and commonly associated with UNS N08020, is used in selected chemical-processing and acid-service applications. Swing check valves using Alloy 20 or CN7M components are commercially available for corrosion-resistant applications.
We supply Alloy 20 Swing Check Valves for suitable applications in chemical processing, petrochemical, fertilizer, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, power, water treatment, and other process industries.
Alloy 20 Swing Check Valve Manufacturer and Supplier
Our Alloy 20 Swing Check Valve solutions are designed for applications requiring automatic prevention of reverse flow.
The valve can be specified according to:
- Valve Size
- Pressure Class
- Body Material
- Disc Material
- Hinge Material
- Seat Material
- End Connection
- Face-to-Face Dimension
- Operating Pressure
- Operating Temperature
- Process Medium
- Testing Standard
- Project Specification
The final material combination should always be verified against the actual process conditions.
What Is an Alloy 20 Swing Check Valve?
A Swing Check Valve is an automatically operated check valve in which a hinged disc moves away from the seat when fluid flows in the permitted direction.
When forward flow decreases or reverses, the disc moves back toward the seat to restrict reverse flow. This makes the valve useful for protecting pumps, compressors, pipelines, and process equipment.
Working Principle
The operation is automatic and does not normally require an external actuator.
Forward Flow → Disc Opens
Reverse Flow → Disc Closes
The actual closing behavior depends on valve design, installation, flow velocity, pressure conditions, and the characteristics of the process system.
Alloy 20 Material
Alloy 20 is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with molybdenum and copper additions that contribute to corrosion resistance in selected environments. It is commonly associated with chemical processing and certain sulfuric-acid services.
However, Alloy 20 is not universally suitable for every chemical or acid service. Compatibility depends on:
- Chemical Composition
- Concentration
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Chloride Content
- Fluid Velocity
- Aeration
- Contaminants
- Oxidizing or Reducing Conditions
For critical applications, material compatibility should be confirmed by an appropriate corrosion or materials specialist.
Swing Check Valve Construction
A typical Alloy 20 swing check valve can include:
- Valve Body
- Swing Disc
- Hinge
- Hinge Pin
- Seat
- Cover
- Cover Gasket
- Internal Hardware
Depending on the valve design, Alloy 20 may be used for the body, disc, or other wetted components.
Full Flow Design
When fully open, the swing disc moves away from the primary flow passage. This can provide a relatively unobstructed flow path compared with some other check valve configurations.
Automatic Operation
The valve responds to the direction and energy of the process flow rather than requiring a manual operator.
