A real poppet

CRP Flex-Rite (Corrosion Resistant Products) has launched a new flanged poppet check valve that offers minimum pressure drop and extended service life for processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Unlike other valves, CRP's new product is said to be equally effective when installed in either horizontal or vertical pipeline applications. Manufactured using PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) lining, it offers non-stick properties and a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees C.

Further benefits of the PFA lining - a modern fluorpolymer with all the chemical resisting properties of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) - is that it has a smooth surface finish, can operate in temperatures ranging from –29 degrees C up to a maximum of 200 degrees C and can function in processes up to pressures of 19bar.

The new valve has bolted flanged ends offering standard valve face-to-face dimensions for either ASME (American Society for Mechanical Engineers) or DIN process lines. It can be used in several applications across either unlined piping or PTFE lined piping to ensure that products only flow one way.

For the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, it is said to ensure no loss of hazardous substances and stops the backflow of any product into inlet lines to prevent cross contamination and serious injury.
