Performance and design of plug‐type check valves
  Plug check valves are frequently used in high pressure systems where parallel pump operations are envisaged, in order to prevent flow recirculation through the out-of-service pump. Serious operational problems are sometimes encountered with these valves during pump changeovers. Full equations of the dynamic behaviour of the plug check valves are derived and results are obtained for their performance in a typical power plant system. Criteria for the design of the plug check valves are also developed.
