  2. Check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

    A stop-check valve is a check valve with override control to stop flow regardless of flow direction or pressure. In addition to closing in response to backflow or insufficient forward pressure (normal check-valve behavior), it can also be deliberately shut by an external mechanism, thereby preventing any flow regardless of forward pressure.

  3. List of valves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    Valves can be categorized also based on their function: Check valve or non-return valve, allows the fluid to pass in one direction only; Flow control valve, to maintain and control a variable flow rate through the valve; Poppet valve, commonly used in piston engines to regulate the fuel mixture intake and exhaust; Pressure-balanced valve

  4. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    ΔP is the pressure drop across the valve (expressed in psi). In more practical terms, the flow coefficient C v is the volume (in US gallons) of water at 60 °F (16 °C) that will flow per minute through a valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi (6.9 kPa) across the valve.

  5. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    A check valve is a basic form of backflow prevention, but often more complex devices are required because check valves are not considered to be reliable, when compared to more sophisticated devices with redundancies and reduced-pressure zones. [further explanation needed]

  7. Double check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_check_valve

    A double check valve or double check assembly (DCA) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination. [1] It is different from the two-way check valves (sometimes erroneously referred to as double check valves) used in air brake systems on heavy trucks which select from the highest pressure source.
