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.
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.

Surprisingly, a resilient-seated check valve can make the same metallic slam sound as a metal-seated valve. To prevent slam, a check valve must either be able to close in a frac-tion of a second or be fitted with oil dashpot devices or actuators to con-trol its closure over several seconds or (depending on the length of the pip-ing system) minutes.

Cla-Val Rubber-Flex Duckbill Check Valves are designed to provide outstanding back-flow prevention; eliminating costly and unwanted back-flow from rivers, oceans, storm water, and is an excellent choice for sewage diffuser systems.
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.
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.
