Abstract

See full text

A check valve with improved response time comprises a valve member which has a central portion of a substantially convex shape and a guide portion that surrounds the central portion. The central portion has a central convex curvature extending towards the outlet port of the check valve, in the direction of the fluid flow. The guide portion has a weight to area ratio that is smaller than the weight to area ratio of the central portion. Such a check valve has an overall reduced weight of the valve member allowing a faster response time when the valve switches between its closed and open positions.
