A disc check valve is a type of valve that prevents backflow in a pipeline by using a disc to close the valve when the fluid pressure drops below a certain threshold. It is commonly used in applications where a fluid is being pumped through a line and there is a risk of backflow. When the fluid flow stops, the disc closes, preventing the fluid from flowing back through the valve.

The versatility of disc check valves makes them suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries. They are commonly employed in water and wastewater treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, oil and gas pipelines, HVAC systems, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Disc check valves come in various designs, including swing disc, lift disc, and dual plate configurations, each offering specific advantages in terms of flow characteristics, pressure drop, and suitability for different fluid types.
