Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and guidelines for the use of non-return valves in heating and hot water installations, specifically focusing on preventing gravity circulation. It includes details on pressure/temperature ratings, material specifications, dimensions, pressure drop charts, and application recommendations for various valve types.
Specifications:
  • Pressure/Temperature Ratings: Maximum service pressure is 6 bar with a maximum service temperature of 130°C at atmospheric pressure.
  • Materials: The body is made of Brass (CW614N), and the valve cone is made of PPO.
Dimensions:
  • Valves are available in sizes ranging from DN 15 to DN 200 mm, with specific lengths and diameters provided for each size.
Pressure Drop Charts:
  • Charts are provided for different valve types (SBO 11, SBO 21, SBO 31) and sizes, indicating differential pressures at zero volume flow and opening pressures.
Valve Types and Applications:
  • SBO Series: Includes SBO 11, SBO 21, and SBO 31, with various connection types (screwed male/female, union nut) and opening pressures.
  • RK Series: Includes RK 70 and RK 71, designed for liquids, gases, and vapors, with applications as gravity circulation checks, vacuum breakers, and pressure-relief valves.
  • MB Series: Includes MB 14, suitable for liquids and gases, with similar applications as the RK series.
Key Considerations:
  • When selecting a valve, consider the partial opening/instable range and full opening/stable range.
  • Pressure drop values are applicable to spring-loaded valves with horizontal flow, with minor deviations for vertical flow.

Direction of flow without with spring spring Differential pressures at zero volume flow. The curves given in the chart are valid for water at 20ΰC. To read the pressure drop for other fluids the equivalent water volume flowrate must be calculated and used in the graph.The values indicated in the chart are applicable to spring-loaded valves with horizontal flow. With vertical flow insignificant deviations occur only within the range of partial opening.V > ׏ W = Vw V׷ > 1000 W = Equivalent water volume flow in [l/s] or [m > 3 /h] ρ = Density of fluid (operating condition) in [kg/m > 3 ]V = Volume...
