1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements for steel check valves, which are forged, cast or
fabricated in straight, angle or oblique pattern (see EN 736-2) with end connections flanged or wafer, butt
welding, socket welding, or threaded.
This standard is applicable to steel check valves mainly used for industrial and general purpose applications.
However, they can be used for other applications provided the requirements of the relevant performance
standards are met.
Back flow prevention anti-pollution check valves are outside the scope of this standard.

4.1.6.1 Welding
Welding as part of the valve shell shall be carried out to approved welding procedures in accordance with
EN ISO 15607. Welders shall be approved to EN 287-1 and welding operators shall be approved to EN 1418.
Non-destructive test requirements of welded joints, which are part of the valve shell, shall be detailed in the
approved welding procedure.
Heat treatment requirements of welded joints, which are part of the valve shell, shall be detailed in the
approved welding procedure.
The minimum body and bonnet wall thickness, the body/bonnet joint and bonnet bolting shall be determined in
accordance with EN 12516-1 and/or EN 12516-2.
It will be equally acceptable to verify the design strength of the valve shell by carrying out an elevated
pressure test in accordance with the requirements of EN 12516-3.
4.2.2.1 The seat bore shall be either full bore or reduced bore. It is permissible for any lugs required to
facilitate the fitting of seat rings to intrude into the bore of the full bore or reduced bore valve.
4.2.2.2 Manufacturers shall give guidance in their literature in respect of recommended maximum and
minimum flow velocities of liquids and/or gases and the minimum differential pressure against which the valve
starts to open.
4.2.2.3 A check valve automatically opens by fluid flow, taking into account the manufacturers’
recommendations given in 4.2.2.2, in the direction defined by the flow arrow and automatically closes to
prevent fluid flow in the reverse direction. To prevent pressure surges or mechanical damage either to the
valve or the pipework, means may be provided to restrict the degree of opening and/or influence the speed of
opening or closing.
Depending upon obturator type and flow direction, valves operate in horizontal or vertical or all pipework
orientations.

EXAMPLE OF DESIGNATION
A flanged check valve to EN 14341, with angle pattern body, DN 65, PN 16 in EN 1503-1 Grade XXX, Face-to-face
series 11 (of prEN 558).
8.1 Marking
Marking shall be in accordance with EN 19. Valves shall be marked with the direction of fluid flow to open the
valve.
e) maximum allowable temperature (°C) (item 7) and maximum allowable pressure (bar) (item 9) to meet the
requirements of 4.1.2.3;
f) product identification (item 10), only if different to manufacturer’s name or trademark (item 4) (8.1b);
h) internal coating, liner, lining or painting (item 15) for lined valves;
i) the melt identification on the relevant shell component (in such a form that traceability is safeguarded,
item 12);
For valves equal to or smaller than nominal size DN 50, where due to the physical size of the valve it is not
practical to apply the mandatory markings as specified in EN 19, items 1, 2, and 4 may be omitted provided
they are shown on the identification plate.
Each valve shall be drained of any test fluid. The valve shall be packaged or the body ends covered to prevent
the ingress of foreign matter. In the case of polymeric or elastomeric seated valves the seating shall also be
protected from ultra violet light.
