Check Valve Slam: Swing or tilting disc check valve slams closed causing water hammer. Damages disc, hinge pin, and downstream piping. Caused by rapid flow reversal (pump trip).
Repair: Replace disc and hinge pin. Install dashpot or spring-assisted closure. For severe cases, replace with non-slam check valve (DFT or Flowserve dual-plate). Lead time: 2-6 weeks.
Wedge/Disc Erosion: Gate or disc erodes from high-velocity steam or water. Wire-drawing creates channels that prevent tight shutoff. Extremely common in power plant extraction and drain valves after 5-10 years.
Repair: Weld overlay and re-machine seating surfaces. Stellite 6 hardfacing for steam service. If body erosion exceeds allowable wall thickness, valve must be replaced. Lead time: 3-6 weeks for weld repair.
Emergency (power plant outage): 24-72 hours — 24/7 machining, dedicated crew
