GESTRA DISCO Non-Return (Check) Valves

Tailored to Your Needs.

GESTRA –
always
one step
ahead.

Measuring up to market needs

has been the GESTRA philosophy
for decades. Backed by many
years‘ experience in the design and
manufacture of non-return (check)
valves, we offer our customers
superior solutions for their specific
requirements.
Whether your are looking for These are just some examples of
economical non-return valves for customer requirements which are met
hvac services, special non-return by our new DISCO non-return valve
valves for chemical applications or RK 86.
dual-plate check valves with
(adjustable) dampers – we guarantee “We need non-return valves that conform
performance without compromise. to as many international standards for
end connections as possible.”

“The flange design should prevent

squashing of the gasket during
installation and guarantee leakproof
sealing.”

“Non-return valves should feature

dependable bonding connections.”

Pressure Drop Chart

The chart is valid for water at 20 °C;
for other fluids, the equivalent water
volume flowrate must be calculated and
used in the chart.
The values indicated in the chart are
applicable to valves with 7 mbar springs
with horizontal flow. With vertical flow
deviations occur only within the range of
partial opening.
The dashed lines in the chart are valid
for valves with 2 mbar springs with
horizontal flow.
The chart and the flow characteristics
apply to values up to PN 40. For valves
with higher pressure ratings (PN) the
loss coefficients (zeta values) and the
pressure drops are increased by
approx. 20 %. The kvs values are
correspondingly reduced.

Pressure Drop Charts

The curves given in the chart are valid CB 14
for water at 20 °C. To read the pressure
drop for other fluids the equivalent
water volume flowrate must be
calculated and used in the graph.
The values indicated in the chart are
applicable to valves with horizontal flow.
With vertical flow insignificant deviations
occur only within the range of partial

Pressure Drop Chart

The curves given in the chart are valid for water at 20 °C.
To read the pressure drop for other fluids the equivalent water
volume flowrate must be calculated and used in the graph.
The values indicated in the chart are applicable to valves with
horizontal flow. With vertical flow insignificant deviations occur
only within the range of partial openings.
