In the fluid pipeline system, the regulating valve is the control element, and its investment accounts for about 30% to 50% of the pipeline project cost. The main functions of the valve are opening and closing, throttling, regulating flow, isolating equipment and pipeline systems, preventing medium backflow, regulating and draining pressure, etc. The valve is also the most complex component in the pipeline. It is generally assembled from multiple parts and has high technical content. Therefore, in pipeline design, scientific and reasonable selection of valves can not only reduce the construction cost of the device, but also ensure safe production operation. This article mainly introduces the selection method of check valves.

Keeping it Clean: The Vital Role of Sanitary Valves in Chemical Plants
Chemical plants are complex environments, handling a vast array of substances, many of which are highly corrosive, reactive, or require strict purity standards. Maintaining hygiene and preventing contamination is paramount, not just for product quality but also for safety and regulatory compliance. This is where sanitary valves play a crucial, yet often overlooked, role.
Unlike standard industrial valves, sanitary valves are specifically designed to minimize crevices, dead spaces, and other areas where bacteria, product residues, or contaminants can accumulate. This makes them essential for processes involving sensitive chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing within chemical plants (like additives or preservatives), and other applications where hygiene is critical.
What sets Sanitary Valves apart?
Several key features distinguish sanitary valves from their industrial counterparts:
