A Check Valve, also known as a non-return valve, one-way valve, or clack valve, is a mechanical device used to allow the flow of fluids or gases in one direction while preventing reverse flow in the opposite direction. The primary function of a check valve is to permit the flow of fluids or gases in a single direction while automatically blocking the flow in the opposite direction. It accomplishes this by utilizing a movable component, such as a disc or a ball, that allows flow when the pressure on the inlet side is greater than the outlet side but closes to prevent backflow when the pressure on the outlet side exceeds the inlet pressure.Attributes:• Include a spring to help regulate the opening and closing of the movable element.• The body contains a valve seat and provides a housing for the internal components.• The valve seat is the sealing surface where the movable element makes contact to create a seal and block reverse flow.Applications:A Check Valve is used in the hydraulic system to allow the fluid to flow in one direction and contains a mechanism to automatically prevent flow in the other direction.
