Non-return check valve working principle
A non-return valve is used in places where return flow of product in pipelines must be avoided.
The valve opens by pressure of the liquid against the spring-loaded valve disc. The closing process is initiated by the preloaded spring when the liquid flows in the flow direction stops.
