KC Type - Dampened Check Globe Valve
Reliable check globe valve with dampened closing for feed-water isolation in nuclear power plants.
High sealing integrity and stable operation across all conditions.
Dampened closing minimises piping stress and prevents water hammer.
Fast-closing mechanism enhances system protection and reliability.
The KC Type Dampened Check Globe Valve is designed for main and bypass feed-water isolation in nuclear power applications. Actuated by system medium, it ensures stable operation under steam, water, and transition conditions. The valve features a special dampening mechanism using a piston, reducing system stress and mitigating water hammer risks. Engineered with fast-closing capability, it delivers high sealing performance and low piping load. Available in forged carbon or stainless steel, it meets various water qualification standards and operates up to Class 1500 and 29.9” (760mm) in size. The KC valve ensures long-term reliability in critical isolation applications.
