5/7/2024
Check valve slam is undesirable but, the good news is, it’s also avoidable. Valve slam may only cause noise or, it may cause valve damage, pipeline shaking, and even surge. In most cases, a lever-and-weight or lever-and-spring can assist in closing the valve prior to flow reversal. Most slamming can be avoided by properly adjusting the weight or spring.
