1 Introduction In industrial piping systems, check valves are vital for preventing reverse flow and ensuring safe operation. Two of the most common types are the Wafer Check Valve and the Swing Check Valve. Although they serve the same purpose, their design, performance, and applications differ. To meet these needs, LIXIN Wafer Check Valve offers […]

1 Introduction A Lift Check Valve is one of the most reliable solutions to prevent backflow in industrial fluid systems. Known for its strong sealing performance, durability, and suitability in high-pressure applications, the lift type check valve is widely used in industries ranging from petroleum and chemical processing to power generation and water treatment. In […]

1 Introduction Check valves are essential components in piping systems, preventing backflow and ensuring smooth operation. Among the many types available, lift check valves and swing check valves are the most widely used. Yet, many engineers, buyers, and maintenance teams often ask: What is the difference between lift and swing check valves? This article provides […]

1 Introduction   When selecting the right check valve for industrial applications, engineers often compare piston check valves and lift check valves. Both designs prevent backflow and protect equipment, but they differ in structure, performance, and applications. Many buyers and plant operators ask: What is the difference between piston check valve and lift check valve? […]

1 Introduction A wafer check valve is a compact and efficient solution designed to prevent backflow in pipelines. Its slim profile, simple installation, and reliable performance make it a preferred choice across industries such as petroleum, chemical, power generation, and wastewater treatment. In this guide, we’ll explain what wafer check valves are, how they work, […]

Eccentric plug valves are designed for durability and reliable shutoff in demanding applications. But what exactly makes them stand out? Reduced Friction and Wear Thanks to the offset design, the plug avoids contact with the seat during opening/closing, reducing friction and extending service life. Excellent for Slurry and Wastewater These valves perform well in systems […]

Introduction Plug valves and eccentric plug valves are essential components in fluid shutoff applications. Though similar in purpose, their internal structure and performance differ significantly. Plug Valve Structure: Features a cylindrical or tapered plug that rotates inside the valve body to open or close flow. Sealing: Contact is uniform around the entire plug. Applications: Common […]

Introduction Globe valves are known for their excellent throttling capabilities. Among them, T type and Y type globe valves are widely used—but how do they differ in design and function? T Type Globe Valve Design: The body shape forms a right-angle turn (like the letter T). Flow Path: Creates significant flow resistance due to the […]

Introduction Gate valves are essential in fluid isolation applications, and the bonnet design plays a critical role in valve integrity, pressure handling, and maintenance. Two popular types are bolted bonnet and welded bonnet gate valves—but what sets them apart? Bolted Bonnet Gate Valves Structure: The bonnet is attached to the valve body using bolts and […]
