High Performance
Non-Slam Nozzle Check Valve
The most important aspect of a check valve in a piping system is to
protect equipment and prevent damage caused by backflow. Engineers Body
today are very aware of the valve characteristics they need for their
particular system installations. They require valves to close quickly and
prevent flow reversal that can damage mechanical equipment and cause
destructive events such as water hammer. Space and weight restrictions
are very often also a significant concern. The Compac-Noz™ valve
provides the industry with a short face to face, light weight, quick closing
non-slam nozzle check valve.
Guide

Features and Benefits Direction

• Compact design and short face to face to meet API 594 of Flow
Spring
• One moving part resulting in minimal wear and long service life
• Quick dynamic response reducing reverse velocity and minimizing Disc
damaging water hammer
• Short stroke to help in quick response
• Low pressure loss Seat
• Choice of springs for specific critical velocity and valve response
• Suitable for reciprocating compressor service eliminating chatter
• Spring is internal and protected from process flow
• Preferred in centrifugal compressor service

The valve compact face to face and rigid design means it is easy to
install and needs no special supports. Its lightweight, when compared
to traditional nozzle type check valves, can also mean reduced cost Valve Closed
of installation for the customer. The dynamic response of the valve
has been verified by an independent testing institution.

The Compac-Noz™ valve represents the latest innovative addition

to our extensive line of check valves. Crane has over thirty years of
experience in the design, manufacture and application of check
valves. These include the Duo-Chek®, Wafer Dual disc, and the Noz-

• Lower pressure drop compared with similar valves fire tests can be conducted to satisfy customer requirements.
• Dynamic performance matches standard nozzle Other testing capabilities include radiography, magnetic par-
type valves ticle and liquid penetrant.
• Ease of maintenance with longer valve life
• Only one seating surface with zero or low
leakage rate
• Larger flow passages resulting in less flow erosion Swing-Check Standard
