With the outlet vented to atmosphere, upstream gauge pressure may approximate this differential. It is not the same as full-open pressure drop or reseat pressure, and it changes with valve design, spring force, size, medium and test method. One target cannot be applied across swing, lift, dual-plate and forged designs. Specify the duty, orientation and test method, then request the tested value for the exact model. PANS supplies forged, cast and wafer check valves and quotes each configuration against the required duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains what the number means, how to test it, how designs differ, and what to put in an RFQ so suppliers answer on the same basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Check_Valve_Cracking_Pressure%E2%80%94and_How_Do_You_Test_It\"><\/span>What Is Check Valve Cracking Pressure\u2014and How Do You Test It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cracking pressure\u2014often called check valve opening pressure\u2014is the point where the closure element first moves off the seat. In a closed loop, read it as the difference between upstream and downstream pressure. With the downstream side vented, it is close to the upstream gauge reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three pressures are often confused:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cracking pressure: first detectable flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reseat pressure: the lower pressure at which the disc or plate returns to the seat and stops reverse flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pressure drop at duty flow: the energy cost once the valve is open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A valve can crack at a low pressure and still have a high pressure drop at full flow. Pressure drop at operating flow depends on valve size, internal geometry, opening position and fluid conditions. Cracking pressure depends on the opening-force balance, including spring preload or disc weight, effective area and orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A practical test sequence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Record the model, size, trim, spring, orientation and flow direction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a gauge close to the expected value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With the downstream side vented, raise upstream pressure slowly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record the pressure at first steady, detectable flow\u2014not the first gauge flicker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat three times and report the average and range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>State the medium and temperature. A test at 20 \u00b0C does not prove behaviour at 120 \u00b0C.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">API 598 is often named on check valve data sheets. It covers shell and seat leakage tests, not one universal cracking-pressure figure. If the value matters, write the test method into the order. Correct flow orientation during the test is also essential; our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/es\/blog\/check-valve\/check-valve-flow-direction-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">check valve flow direction guide<\/a> explains how body arrows and piping drawings should align.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4.webp\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Pipe test setup with a pressure gauge marked Upstream Gauge, a black check valve, water flowing from the pipe end marked First Detectable Flow, and a label reading Illustrative Test Setup.\" class=\"wp-image-4550 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4.webp\" alt=\"Pipe test setup with a pressure gauge marked Upstream Gauge, a black check valve, water flowing from the pipe end marked First Detectable Flow, and a label reading Illustrative Test Setup.\" class=\"wp-image-4550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.pansvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/pans-cracking-pressure-test-setup-4-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_a_Lower_Cracking_Pressure_Is_Not_Always_Better\"><\/span>Why a Lower Cracking Pressure Is Not Always Better<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A low cracking pressure lets the valve open early. That helps low-pressure lines, gravity-fed systems and pump discharge lines where every fraction of a bar matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade-off is stability. If the valve is oversized for the actual flow, the disc may crack open but never reach a stable lift position. It can hover, chatter and wear the seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A higher cracking pressure can keep the valve closed against normal line fluctuations. It also raises the pressure the pump must produce before flow starts. If the target is above the available differential, the valve will not open fully\u2014or at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The useful selection range therefore comes from three inputs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The minimum differential the system can provide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The flow needed to hold the disc or plates open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The reverse-flow condition the valve must stop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask for the pressure-drop curve as well as the cracking value. The two together show whether the valve will open, stay open and still protect the line.

Ask for these fields on the datasheet or in the quotation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Model and disc type: lift, swing or dual plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Size, pressure class and body\/trim materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End connections and face-to-face dimensions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flow direction and approved installation orientation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medium, operating temperature and design differential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required cracking pressure, tolerance and test medium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reseat pressure and seat-leakage acceptance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pressure drop at the design flow rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drawing, material certificate and test report scope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a supplier lists one cracking pressure for an entire size range, ask whether it is a catalogue typical or a tested value. Those are different claims. A tested value should identify the unit, test rig, medium, temperature and acceptance rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RFQ_Example_How_to_Ask_for_Cracking_Pressure_Data\"><\/span>RFQ Example: How to Ask for Cracking Pressure Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a simple enquiry that gives a supplier enough to answer clearly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please quote 40 pieces of 2 in, Class 300 forged check valve to API 602, A105 body with 316 trim, socket-weld ends, horizontal installation, flow left to right. Medium is water at 60 \u00b0C, design flow 12 m\u00b3\/h. Target cracking pressure is 0.3 bar, measured with water at 20 \u00b0C, downstream vented, average of three tests. Report the actual value, tolerance, reseat pressure and pressure drop at design flow. Include the general arrangement drawing and API 598 seat test report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three things make this useful. The duty is stated, the test method is stated, and the supplier is asked to report a result rather than promise a generic number. If the requested value does not suit the selected model, a good supplier will say so before the order is placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a replacement, add the installed face-to-face length and the existing pipe orientation. Those details often decide whether a suitable valve can actually be fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>Preguntas m\u00e1s frecuentes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Is cracking pressure the same as opening pressure?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most buyer specifications, yes. Both describe the point where flow first passes the seat. Reseat pressure is separate and usually lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Can cracking pressure be adjusted after installation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually not. It is set by spring force, disc weight and geometry. A different spring or trim may be needed, and that change must be confirmed for the specific model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Does low cracking pressure mean low pressure drop?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Cracking pressure describes opening; pressure drop describes performance once the valve is open. An oversized valve can open early and still run poorly at low flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Why do two suppliers quote different values for the same size?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They may use different springs, trims, test media or tolerances, or one may be quoting a catalogue typical rather than a measured value. Compare the test method before comparing the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_Test_Then_the_Valve\"><\/span>Choose the Test, Then the Valve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cracking pressure is a selection input, not a label value. Define the differential your system can supply, confirm the flow needed to keep the valve stable, and ask for the tested value for the exact model and orientation.
