A Compression Spring is designed and constructed to resist the compressive load applied to it. When a compressive force is applied, the coils are compressed and the spring stores the energy. The shape of the Compression Spring is cylindrical, with a helical coil that is tightly wound to resist compression. Attributes:• Helps to prevent reverse flow, minimizes water hammer• Direction of coils is Right Hand with Total Coils 7.3 and Active Coils 5.3Applications:A Compression Spring is used in a check valve to ensure its operation by providing the necessary forces to keep the valve closed when backflow is not desired.
