DUO-CHEK II Check Valves

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Duo-Chek II high performance check valve is a versatile and efficient valve introduced in the late 1950s. It is available in various sizes, pressure classes, and configurations to meet demanding applications. Key features include compliance with ANSI, API, DIN, JIS, BS, and ISO standards, and availability in wafer, lug, double flanged, and extended body styles. The valves are constructed from materials such as ductile iron, WCB cast steel, and 316 stainless steel, with options for resilient and metal seals.
Main Applications: The valves are suitable for industries such as petroleum refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, oil and gas production, pulp and paper, power generation, steel/primary metals, marine, and water and wastewater management. Specific applications include hydrogen processing, ethylene production, chlorine handling, and fire protection systems.
Design Features: The Duo-Chek II features a dual-plate design with spring-loaded plates that open and close efficiently, reducing wear and water hammer effects. The independent spring and plate suspension design enhances valve response and longevity. The valve's compact size and lightweight design make it easier and more cost-effective to install and maintain compared to conventional swing check valves.
Configurations: The Duo-Chek II is available in several configurations, including wafer style, retainerless design, double flanged, lug style, Grayloc hub end, butt weld, UL/FM approved, lined, cryogenic, and coated valves. Each configuration is designed to meet specific operational needs and environmental conditions.
Standards and Testing: The valves comply with API 594 for design, API 598 for pressure testing and inspection, ASME/ANSI B16.34 for pressure/temperature ratings, and API 6D and 6A for pipeline and production valves. Special testing options are available for specific applications.
Special Features: Additional options include valves for NACE MR-01-75 compliance, liquid oxygen service, food service preparation, and various special testing methods such as radiography and helium leak testing.

4 Leading engineering specifiers specify the Duo-Chek II for check valve applications because it provides high performance. Extensive research and testing with demonstrated performance has earned worldwide recognition, unmatched in the industry. The Duo-Chek II wafer valve design is generally stronger, lighter, smaller, more efficient and less expensive than conventional swing check valves. Its design meets API 594 which is approximately one fourth the face to face dimension and 15% to 20% the weight, on most popular sizes making them less expensive than a swing check valve. lt is much easier...

DUO-CHEK II Check Valves-5

5 The innovative dual-plate design of the Duo-Chek II employs two spring-loaded plates (disc halves) suspended on a central vertical hinge pin. As flow begins, the plates open in response to a resultant force (F) which acts as the center of the sealed surface area. The contact point of the reacting spring leg’s force (Fs) acts beyond the center of the plate area, causing the heel to open first. This prevents rubbing of the seal surface prior to normal plate opening, eliminating wear. As the velocity of flow decreases, torsion spring action reacts automatically. This moves the plates closer to...
