What is a Check Valve?

A Check Valve (VALVE,CHECK) is a valve permitting flow in one direction only. It does not have a stem, except when equipped with a lever and weight and has no pressure adjustment. It may be inline or cartridge (manifold) design.

What is a Safety Relief Valve?

A Safety Relief Valve (VALVE,SAFETY RELIEF) is a valve designed to automatically release excessive pressures. It is actuated by static pressure upstream of the valve and is used as a safety valve or relief valve, and may be set to close at a predetermined pressure. It is not designed for regulation of continuously fluctuating loads. It may be inline or cartridge (manifold) design. Excludes VALVE (1), RELIEF, PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE.

NATO Supply Class 4820 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 48, which is specifically for valves. More specifically, NATO Supply Class 4820 is for nonpowered valves.

Valves are mechanical devices used to control the flow of fluids (liquids, gases, or slurries) through a system of pipes or tubes. They are essential components in various industries, including manufacturing, oil and gas, water treatment, and many others.

Nonpowered valves, as the name suggests, do not require external power sources to operate. They rely on manual or mechanical means to control the flow of fluids. This can include hand-operated valves, lever-operated valves, or valves that are actuated by mechanical systems such as springs or diaphragms.

NATO Supply Class 4820 includes a wide range of nonpowered valves, such as gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, and many others. These valves are designed to meet specific requirements for different applications, including controlling the flow rate, regulating pressure, preventing backflow, or isolating sections of a system.

The classification of valves into NATO Supply Groups and Classes helps standardize the identification and categorization of these essential components for military and defense purposes. It ensures that the right valves can be easily identified, procured, and used in various military operations and equipment.
