Double Valves
Double Valves can be installed with either
or both of the traditional standing and traveling valves in a rod pump.
This additional valve is installed in series with the normal valve and
provides a second fluid check valve in the pumping system. The application
for Double Valves is whenever the pump experiences valve seat cutting
from high pressure fluid leaking past particulates trapped on the sealing
face between the valve ball and seat. A second valve in series with
the primary valve will hold back the hydrostatic pressure whenever particulates
are trapped in the primary valve, preventing high pressure jet cutting
of the primary seat.
These valves can be furnished in all materials
for corrosion or abrasion resistance and are available as Stellite lined
or rubber lined for severe pumping applications.
