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 · Conversely, when the flow ceases or reverses, the slit naturally closes, forming a seal to prevent backflow. This inherent flexibility and self-sealing mechanism make duckbill check valves highly efficient and reliable in controlling fluid movement.
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 13, 2024 · A key characteristic of the duckbill check valve is that it requires no intervention to open or close and operates as a result of a pressure differential across the valve – the pressure from a liquid pushes the two-halves apart allowing the fluid to pass through.
tanks require the check valves to close rapidly (e.g., 20 milliseconds) versus a low-head, relatively flat system where a closure time of one second might suffice. This article provides an understanding of how the design and geometry of check valves affect their closure speeds. A LOOK AT VALVE DESIGN Laboratory tests and flow simulations

surges caused by sudden closure. Every pump station designer has witnessed check valve slam, which is caused by the sudden stoppage of reverse flow through a closing check valve. To prevent slam, an automatic check valve must either close very quickly or close slowly by using oil dashpot devices.
Oct 29, 2019 · Silent or spring –assisted check valves do not rely on gravity or reverse flow to close. Instead, the spring closes in about one-tenth of a second, the valve before reverse flow has an opportunity to slam the valve shut.
