Comparative Analysis Of Sanitary Check Valves And Other Types Of Valves

Sanitary valves play a key role in fluid control, however, different types of valves are suitable for different application scenarios.

Sanitary check valve is a special type of valve, which has some obvious differences from other types of valves in terms of design, application fields and characteristics. This article compares and analyzes sanitary check valves with other types of valves.

1. Sanitary check valve:

Sanitary check valves are mainly used in food, pharmaceutical, beverage and other industries, where sanitation and fluid contamination are key factors.

Features of sanitary check valves include:

Strict design requirements: Sanitary check valves must meet strict hygiene standards to ensure that they can effectively prevent reverse flow when the fluid stops flowing, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and bacterial growth.

Streamlined Design: Sanitary check valves typically have a streamlined design that reduces dead space and dirt buildup and facilitates cleaning and maintenance.

Material selection: The sanitary check valve adopts sanitary materials, such as stainless steel, to prevent the contamination of the fluid and ensure hygienic safety.

Sealing performance: The sanitary check valve has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent reverse flow and ensure the sanitation of the system.

2. Stop valve (water stop valve):

Globe valves are used to control the opening and closing of fluids and are widely used in various fields. Compared with sanitary check valves, globe valves have the following characteristics:

Fluid control: The globe valve can completely cut off the fluid, and is suitable for scenarios where fluid flow needs to be prevented.

Material selection: According to different working environments and fluid characteristics, the material selection range of the globe valve is wider, and different materials can be selected according to needs.

Various types: There are many types of globe valves, such as butterfly valves, ball valves, gate valves, etc. You can choose the appropriate type according to different application scenarios.

3. Regulating valve:

Regulating valves are used to adjust the flow and pressure of fluids, and are suitable for scenarios that require precise control. Compared with the sanitary check valve, the regulating valve has the following characteristics:

Fluid control: Regulating valves can precisely adjust fluid flow and pressure, and are suitable for fluid systems that require precise control.

Adjustability: The opening of the regulating valve can be adjusted according to the needs, so as to realize different flow and pressure control.

To sum up, sanitary check valves are mainly used in food, pharmaceutical, beverage and other industries with strict hygiene requirements, focusing on preventing pollution and bacterial growth. Globe valves and regulating valves are more widely used in different industrial fields to control fluid cutoff, regulation and control. Selecting the proper type of valve should be based on multiple factors such as the application, hygienic requirements, fluid properties and control needs.
