5K/10K Storm Valve
5K/10K storm valves are backflow prevention valves specifically designed for use in marine systems. They are usually manufactured in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) and are named after their rated pressure classes 5K and 10K.
Overview
5K storm valve: Rated at 5 kN/cm2 (5 bar or 5Bar).
10K storm valves: rated at 10 kN/cm2 (10 bar or 10Bar).
Main Functions
The main function of a storm valve is to prevent seawater or other liquids from backing up in a pipework system. This is essential to maintain the normal operation and safety of the ship.
These valves are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as cast steel or copper alloys, for long-term use in seawater environments. They are compact, durable and easy to install.
Storm valves can be used in a variety of marine systems, such as water supply systems, drainage systems, cooling systems, etc. They ensure that pipeline flow is always in the right direction during navigation and berthing of the vessel and prevent damage or malfunction caused by backflow.
