As a professional China wafer dual plate check valve manufacturer, Yuanjd Valve specializes in the design, production, and supply of high-performance dual plate check valves for a wide range of industrial applications. Our wafer dual plate check valves are engineered to provide reliable automatic backflow prevention —allowing fluid to flow in one direction while closing instantly to prevent dangerous reverse flow that could damage pumps, compressors, and other critical system equipment.
Also known as double-disc check valves or butterfly check valves, wafer dual plate check valves utilize two spring-loaded semicircular plates mounted on a central hinge pin. The plates open under forward flow pressure and are snapped shut by torsion springs the moment flow decelerates or reverses. This design enables rapid closure with a short travel distance (approximately 35 degrees vs 70+ degrees for swing checks), significantly reducing the risk of water hammer—a primary reason dual plate check valves have replaced swing checks in many applications.
Manufactured in strict accordance with API 594 (Check Valves: Flanged, Lug, Wafer, and Butt-welding), our wafer dual plate check valves conform to Type A short face-to-face dimensions. Available in sizes from NPS 2″ to 48″ (DN50 to DN1200) and pressure classes from Class 150 to Class 2500, our valves are designed to meet the most demanding industrial requirements.
| Parameter | Wafer Dual Plate Check Valve | Swing Check Valve |
|---|---|---|
| Disc configuration | Two spring-loaded semicircular plates | Single full-bore disc |
| Closure mechanism | Spring-assisted + reverse flow | Gravity + reverse flow |
| Closure speed | Fast (short arc, spring force) | Slow (long arc) |
| Water hammer risk | Low | High in large sizes |
| Weight (typical 10″) | ~25 kg | ~180 kg |
| Installation orientation | Horizontal or vertical (flow upward) | Horizontal only |
| Body standard | API 594 (wafer/lug) | BS 1868 (flanged) |
| Cost | Lower (compact, less material) | Higher (more material, heavier) |
The advantages are clear: a wafer dual plate check valve is up to 80% lighter than a swing check valve, requires far less structural support, and is much easier to install between flanges. For reciprocating compressor discharge and pump stations with frequent start/stop cycles, dual plate check valves are the standard recommendation.
