DAWSONS-TECH Check Valve Series : VC31 is a very compact and robust in construction and design for unidirectional flow control of fluids and gases for medium pressure (UPTO 3000 PSIG) used in Instrumentation systems.

Features :
  • Back stopped poppet design to minimum spring stress.
  • ‘O’ Ring bonded poppet seat provides leak tight seal.
  • Provides large flow, minimum of chatter and fluctuation.
  • Variable cracking pressure: 1/3, 1.5, 10, 25 and 100 PSIG.
  • Suitable for Vacuum and high-pressure applications.
  • Available in Material SS316L.
  • Every valve is pressure tested.

Operating Parameters :
  • Pressure Rating: UPTO 3000 PSIG (207 Bar) at CWP.
  • Temperature Rating: UPTO 198o C with with Fluorocarbon 'O' Ring.
  • End Connections:
    • Inch: 1/4" to 1” Tube OD
    • Metric: 6mm to 25mm Tube OD
    • Tube OD Pipe Thread: 1/4" to 1” Male / Female BSP / BSPT / NPT
    • Face Seal: 1/4" to 1”
    • ‘O’ Ring Face Seal: 1/4" to 1”
Applications :
  • Gas, Liquid, Fluid Handling.

Type Test Approvals :
The design of DAWSONS-TECH Valves Series : VC31 have been tested for Hydrostatic Proof and Burst Test in accordance with MSS SP-99-2016a Clause 5.5 & 5.6.
Testing :
  • Standard Test : Each Valve is pressure tested with Nitrogen at 1000 PSIG (69 Bar) for leakage at the seat and packing.
  • Optional Hydrostatic Test : This test is performed with De-ionized water at 1.5 times the working pressure.
Certification :
The certificate to 3.1 acc. to EN10204 for Valves Body Material and pressure test will be provided on request.

* CRACKING PRESSURE
  • The differential pressure between the inlet and outlet, at which an initial flow is passing through the Valve.

    ** RESEAL PRESSURE
    • The differential pressure between the outlet and inlet, at which no flow is passing through the Valve.
