Val-Matic's white paper, "Design and Selection Criteria of Check Valves," was written to help design engineers understand basic valve principles and functions of various check valves used in pumping systems. Engineering parameters associated with valve selection, such as flow characteristics, are discussed, along with others, including headloss, reliability and cost. The combined characteristics of the pumps, check valve, air valve, control valve, and surge equipment should be considered for successful pumping system design. With this, engineers can better select check valves and understand some of the pitfalls common to valve selections.
