| LKC-2,
non-return valve. |
Application
Non-return valve LKC-2 is designed for use in stainless
steel pipe installations to prevent reverse flow.
Working principle
LKC-2 opens when the pressure below the valve plug exceeds
the pressure above the plug and the spring force.
The valve closes when pressure equalization has been achieved. A higher
counter pressure will press the valve plug against the seat.
Standard Design
The valve body is in two parts, assembled by means of a
clamp ring and hygienically sealed with a special seal ring. A guide disc
and four legs guide the spring loaded valve plug with an O-ring seal.
LKC-2 has welding ends for ISO or DIN connections.
Materials
| Steel parts: |
Stainless steel 1.4301 (304) or acid-resistant steel 1.4404
(316L). |
| Seal rings: |
EPDM rubber. |
| Finish: |
Semi bright. |
Connections
The valve is available with welding ends for tubes
according to ISO and DIN 11850.
Technical data
Required differential pressure for opening the valve when
fitted in a vertical pipe, as shown in fig. 3, is approx. 6 kPa (0.06
bar).
| Max. product pressure: |
1000 kPa (10 bar). |
| Max. temperature: |
140°C (EPDM). |
| Min. temperature: |
-10°C. |
Option
- - Product wetted seal rings of Nitrile (NBR) or Fluorinated rubber
(FPM).
Ordering
Please state the following when ordering:
- - Size.
- - Steel grade, 1.4301 (304) or 1.4404 (316L).
- - Connections, if not welding ends.
- - Rubber grade if not EPDM.
