FAQ's of REGO Stainless Steel Swing Check Valve for Cryogenic Service 886 Series:
Q: How does the REGO 886 Series Swing Check Valve ensure safety in cryogenic applications?
A: The valve undergoes stringent body (1.5x rated pressure) and seat (1.1x rated pressure) pressure tests to guarantee leak-proof, reliable operation. Its swing check mechanism automatically prevents reverse flow, safeguarding both equipment and piping in cryogenic systems.
Q: What is the proper installation orientation for this check valve?
A: The REGO 886 Series can be installed either horizontally or vertically, but in the vertical position, the flow must be upwards. This flexibility allows seamless integration into various pipeline configurations.
Q: When should I use a swing check valve for cryogenic service?
A: Swing check valves like the REGO 886 Series are ideal when you need to prevent backflow in pipelines carrying cryogenic fluids such as liquid oxygen, nitrogen, argon, or LNG-especially in systems operating between -196C and +60C.
Q: Where can this valve be applied within an industrial setup?
A: This valve suits any cryogenic service line transporting liquefied gases, including processing plants, storage facilities, and transport pipelines. Its robust construction and thermal shock resistance make it suitable for demanding environments.
Q: What connection types are available with this valve?
A: The REGO 886 Series supports Butt Weld, Socket Weld, and Threaded (NPT/BSP) connections, compatible with ASME, ANSI, BS, and DIN standards for broad installation versatility.
Q: How does the valve handle thermal shock and pressure changes?
A: Constructed from high-grade CF8M/SS316L stainless steel and PTFE sealing, the valve is built for maximum durability in severe thermal and pressure conditions, ensuring reliable sealing and minimal maintenance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this valve in my cryogenic pipeline?
A: You benefit from secure flow control and prevention of backflow, robust resistance to low temperatures and thermal shock, versatile installation options, and proven reliability-a critical combination for protecting both personnel and valuable equipment in cryogenic applications.
