In sanitary manufacturing applications that employ the use of fluid systems, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, regulating fluid flow and pressure is essential to maintaining high product and production quality. Common issues—such as backflow, water hammer, and cleanliness – significantly affect the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the system. For these situations, DSV® sanitary… Read More

Axial Flow Check Valves are used in a wide range of pumps and compressors in a vast array of industries. DFT® hosted a webinar on this subject which outlines the differences between check valves used in their applications, as well as the advantages or disadvantages that each one presents. Here at DFT®, we frequently field… Read More

Pumps and compressors are used in a wide range of industries such as pharmaceutical, food & beverage, petrochemical, natural gas, power generation, chemical industries, and building maintenance. Pumps and compressors transport fluids and compressible gases, respectively, from one location to another. Axial flow check valves are an important protection for pumps and compressors as they… Read More

Severe service valves are used in applications involving periodic or extended exposure to extreme temperatures, high pressures, and/or abrasive, corrosive, or erosive compounds. Due to the harsh operating conditions to which they subjected, these valves often feature specialized construction materials and body designs to ensure they maintain their integrity during use. At DFT®, we’ve manufactured… Read More

Swing check valves use a hinged swinging disc to block and control the movement of fluid in a system. As they are used to prevent the reverse flow of fluids or gases, any failure can lead to leakage, loss of pressure, contamination, overflow, and, in the most severe cases, complete system failure. Below we discuss… Read More
