It is an acknowledged fact that new build projects can reduce check valve costs by some 30% to 70% by incorporating Dual Plate Check Valves into their specifications in lieu of the heavier, and substantially more costly, swing check valve.

Additional to the very evident commercial benefits, the Dual Plate Check Valve offers very significant technical advantages. These can be readily summarised as:

1) lower pressure drop
2) superior dynamic response, i.e. Non slam
3) reduced weight and space

For an indication of the price (and weight) savings to be made by specifying Goodwin Wafer Check Valves rather than swing check valves, click and download the two PDF files below.
