Mar 17, 2022 · Duckbill check valves are non-mechanical, require no maintenance, and do not slam when closed. They are also resistant to organic contaminants such as algae and barnacles and have no problem disposing of suspended solids entrained streams, such as abrasive slurries.
Mar 7, 2024 · Explore the ingenious mechanism of duckbill check valves, essential components in fluid systems. Learn how they prevent backflow and the importance of maintenance for optimal performance.
Oct 29, 2019 · When a pump stops, gravity and reverse flow slam the check valve shut. Because fluid is non-compressible, it creates a pressure or shock wave (water hammer). The fluid continues to flow back and forth until friction losses cause the wave to settle.
Mar 7, 2024 · Closing. If the upstream pressure falls below the cracking pressure or there is back pressure (flow attempting to move from the outlet to the inlet), the check valve will close. Typically, check valves have a gate, ball, diaphragm, or disc that is pressed against a seal to close the check valve.
Check Valve Slam. Check valve slam occurs after pump stoppage when the system flow reverses back towards the pump before the check valve is fully closed (Figure 1). The reverse flow causes the check valve to close rapidly through the remaining portion of its travel.

Jun 6, 2023 · The duckbill check valve is a flexible sleeve shaped like a duck’s beak. It allows forward flow of water with positive head differential pressure which progressively opens the valve as flow increases. Duckbill check valves consistently provide the tightest seal for preventing backflow.
May 1, 2024 · When compared to conventional check valves, duckbill valves offer several distinct advantages: Enhanced Durability. Built to withstand corrosive and abrasive conditions, they outlast many traditional check valves, reducing long-term replacement costs.
