An Axial Flow Check Valve is a type of valve used to prevent backflow in a pipeline system. It is designed to allow the flow of fluid in one direction only, using a piston or disc that moves along the axis of the flow. When the fluid is flowing in the desired direction, the valve remains open, but if the flow direction changes or stops, the valve closes. This type of valve is often used in applications where a quick response is required to stop reverse flow, such as in pumping systems, oil and gas pipelines, and power generation.
