What is a non return valve?

A non return valve, also known as a check valve, allows fluid to flow in one direction and prevents reverse flow that could damage equipment or disrupt system operations.

How does a non return valve work?

A non return valve opens when fluid flows in the intended direction and closes automatically when the flow reverses. Its operation generally depends on the pressure difference across the valve.

Where are non return valves used?

Non return valves are used in water supply systems, pump installations, industrial pipelines, chemical processing, oil and gas facilities, and HVAC systems to prevent backflow.

What are the types of non return valves?

Common types include swing check valves, lift check valves, ball check valves, piston check valves, and dual plate check valves. The suitable type depends on the application, pressure, and flow conditions.

What materials are non return valves made from?

Non return valves can be manufactured from cast iron, stainless steel, brass, bronze, and other suitable materials. PTFE lined designs can be used in applications requiring chemical resistance, depending on the operating conditions.

How can I get pricing for a PTFE lined non return valve?

Contact Glando Valves and Strainers to request pricing and confirm the specifications, size, pressure rating, materials, and application requirements for your non return valve.

What is a PTFE lined non return valve (NRV) and how does it work?

A PTFE lined NRV is a check valve with a metal body (carbon steel, cast iron or SS) fully lined with PTFE (Teflon). It allows fluid to flow in one direction only. Forward pressure opens the disc, and when flow stops or reverses, the disc closes automatically. This prevents backflow, protects pumps and keeps the process line safe, with no manual operation needed.

Which industries and media are PTFE lined NRVs suitable for?

They are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, fertilizer, dye, pesticide and effluent treatment plants. PTFE lining resists strong acids, alkalis, solvents, chlorine and other corrosive or toxic media, making these valves a good fit where metal valves would corrode or contaminate the fluid.

What are the key advantages over metal or rubber lined NRVs?

PTFE lining offers near-universal chemical resistance, a non-stick smooth surface that reduces scaling and clogging, no product contamination, and a longer service life in aggressive services. It also withstands higher temperatures than rubber lining, which reduces replacement cost and plant downtime.

What types, sizes and pressure-temperature ratings are available?

Common types are swing check, lift check, ball check and wafer (dual plate) NRVs. Flanged-end valves are typically available from 15 mm to 300 mm (½" to 12") in PN10/PN16 or Class 150 ratings. PTFE lined valves generally operate from about -20°C to 150°C, depending on the lining grade and body material. Always confirm exact limits against the manufacturer's datasheet.

How should a PTFE lined NRV be installed and maintained?

Install it in the correct flow direction (as marked on the body), use PTFE-compatible gaskets, and tighten flange bolts evenly in a cross pattern to avoid damaging the lining. Avoid sudden pressure surges and vacuum conditions unless the valve is rated for them. Inspect periodically for lining wear, seat damage and leakage, and keep spare discs and seals available for quick servicing.
