Disc/Clapper: Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C

Component Specifications

Definition

The Disc/Clapper is a critical component in check valve assemblies, typically a hinged or guided plate that moves in response to fluid pressure differentials. It opens when forward flow pressure exceeds the cracking pressure and closes automatically when flow stops or reverses, creating a tight seal against the valve seat to prevent backflow. This component ensures unidirectional flow control in piping systems.

Working Principle

Operates on differential pressure: forward flow lifts the disc away from the seat, allowing fluid passage; cessation or reversal of flow causes the disc to return to the seat via gravity, spring force, or backpressure, creating a seal.

Materials

Stainless steel (304, 316), carbon steel, brass, bronze, duplex steel, or engineered polymers (PTFE, Nylon) depending on application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a disc and a clapper in check valves?

Disc typically refers to a flat sealing element, while clapper often describes a hinged disc that swings open/closed. In practice, the terms are frequently used interchangeably for the moving sealing component.

How do I select the right Disc/Clapper material?

Consider fluid compatibility, temperature, pressure, corrosion resistance, and wear characteristics. Common choices include stainless steel for general use, brass for water applications, and polymers for chemical resistance.
