Cast Flow Ball Check Valves

Cast Flow ball check valves are designed for use in clean water, wastewater, and viscous fluid lines. The check mechanism consists of a free-moving ball that responds to differential pressure, sealing against the seat when flow decreases or reverse pressure occurs. No actuator is required for operation.

Versions and Connections

  • Threaded: 1"–3" / DN25–DN80
  • Flanged: DN40–DN600
  • Thread standards: BSP per ISO 228-1 / NFE 03-00
  • Flange standards: PN6/10/16 per EN1092-1 / ISO7005-1 / BS4504
  • ANSI flanges: 125#/150# per ASME B16.1 / B16.5
  • Face-to-face (flanged): EN 558-1 Series 48

Pressure, Temperature, Materials

Maximum operating pressure up to 10 bar, subject to size limitations. Temperature range: -30°C to +200°C, depending on body and sealing materials. Available in ductile iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and superduplex. Minimum backpressure for tight shutoff: 0.3–0.5 bar.

Hydraulic Performance

Full bore design with self-cleaning ball minimizes pressure drop. Removable cover allows for ball inspection or replacement without removing the valve from the pipeline.

Applications

Suitable for clean water pump stations, wastewater, loaded or viscous fluids, and auxiliary industrial networks. For seawater or desalination, consider body material, PREN, chloride content, temperature, and flow velocity.

FAQ

When to select a ball check valve? For fluids with suspended solids or high viscosity, where the ball reduces risk of seat fouling.
Is sizing verification required? Yes. Flow rate, pressure drop, shutoff backpressure, and available differential pressure must be checked.

SPECIAL ALLOYS

Over the years the most frequent used materials on the desalination market have been the so called “Superstainless” or “ superaustenitic”, which anti corrosive properties are superior to austenitic steels.

Due to the price increment on the prime materials and as an alternative more competitive for these materials, Duplex and Superduplex of second generation have been introduced in the market of desalination.

The family of Duplex and Super duplex Stainless steels offer a significant advantage over Standard austinic steels.

The 50/50 ferrite /austenite structure gives improved corrosion and abrasion resistance together with improved tensile and yield properties.

Duplex Composition range is obtained by a complex structure, and therefore requires a much greater degree of technology, melting and process control compared with austenitic stainless steel constructions.

CASTFLOW VALVES S.L. has been experiencing the production of check valves in Duplex stainless steel for the last years, increasing our knowledge on the complex casting technology.

PITTING RESISTANCE EQUIVALENT NUMBER (PREN)

The resistance to pitting of an alloy is of vital importance , particularly so in handling seawater. Assessment of resistance to pitting is often made by use of a pitting resistance equivalent number which, when this takes account of Cr Mo and N is referred to as a PREn Number.

Calculation is made on the basis of the following.

PREN= %Cr+ 3.3%Mo16%N

PREN-768x489
