The Fouress Dual Plate Check Valve is a non-return valve that is stronger, lighter, and more compact than conventional check valves. It uses two plates that fold together to open, eliminating rubbing on the seat for a longer lifespan. Unlike swing check valves, the dual plates are hinged vertically and close via springs, preventing slamming and damage to pumps from water hammer. The dual plate design reduces wear and tear through its innovative opening motion and spring-assisted closure.

FOURESS MAKE DUAL PLATE CHECK VALVES

The Fouress Dual Plate Check Valve is an all - purpose non - return valve that is much
stronger, lighter in weight and smaller in size compared to a conventional swing check valve
or lift check valve. The Fouress Dual Plate Check Valve is the result of intensive planned
research to solve the problems associated with regular check valves. A normal check valve
requires a reversal of flow for closure while the Fouress Dual Plate Check valve avoids this by
using the superior technology of torsion springs. This unique spring design does not allow
slamming of the valve disc against the valve seat during sealing and thus prevents damage to
the valve (NON SLAM) enabling a longer effective life time. Additionally it protects pumps
and other pipeline equipments from the cascading effects of slamming in liquid mediums (NO
WATER HAMMER)

VALVE OPERATION

The disc of the Fouress Dual Plate Check Valve consists of two identical plates that fold
together to open the valve. This innovative method of valve opening (i.e. it first lifts up at heel
and then swings) ensures no rubbing action against the seat and results in a lower rate of
wear and tear of seals. This advantage is not feasible in other designs and is achieved by the
special spring action and hinge design.

Features of Fouress Dual Plate Check Valve :

NON SLAM DESIGN

Slamming occurs in regular swing check valves in the following manner :

The swing disc in this valve is hinged at the top and due to the force of gravity develops high
inertia when it swings into a closed position. This momentum can cause severe damage
when the disc slams against the valve seat. To counter this, most check valve designs
employ a balancing weight/ dash pot etc. which make the valves more expensive and bulky.

By contrast, the two plates in the Fouress Dual Plate Check Valve are hinged in the centre
vertically for horizontal installations eliminating the effect of gravity altogether. Furthermore,
the momentum developed as they move to the 'close position' is a fraction of that developed
in a swing check valve. This is because the weight of each plate is only ¼th the weight of the
swing valve disc and the tip velocity is also less than half in the Fouress Dual Plate Check
Valve. Additionally, due to spring - assisted closing the valve shuts at zero flow and before
back (negative) flow begins. The benefit of this is that as flow decreases, the fluid medium
itself acts as a cushion to reduce impact between the plates and the seat hence eliminating
any occurrence of slamming .

Compact & Cost Effective
The disc plates are smaller in area and lighter in weight compared to the single heavy disc of
a conventional swing check valve, resulting in optimal space utilization (66% less than a
regular check valve). Essentially the Fouress Dual Plate Check Valve performs the same
function at a better price.
