What are the common causes of failure of swing check valves

Jun 25, 2025Leave a message

Common causes of failure of swing check valves include:

1. Sealing failure:

Wear, aging or damage to the valve sealing surface or sealing ring, resulting in reduced valve sealing performance.

2. Improper tightening:

Improper tightening of the valve nut or loose threads, resulting in unstable valve operation or failure to close completely.

3. Internal fouling:

After long-term use, dirt or sediment will accumulate inside the valve, causing the valve to fail to open or close normally.

4. Wear of internal parts:

Internal parts of the valve, such as the valve disc or valve seat, will wear or deform due to long-term use or improper operation, affecting the normal operation of the valve.

5. Rust or corrosion:

The internal or external parts of the valve are corroded by water quality or environment, causing the valve parts to rust, deform or damage.

6. Leakage:

Valve leakage caused by poor valve sealing or damaged parts may be due to improper installation, wear or failure of the sealing ring.
