Hi Sajit
I have never seen a swing check that permits "in service swing replacement", and I doubt if there is any such thing as it would need two additional sealing arrangements (valves) plus body drain. Perhaps the spec writer means "in-line disc and body seat replacement"; i.e. it is not necessary to remove the valve from the pipeline in order to replace the sealing/wearing components. Also I am not aware of any part of a swing check valve called a swing. You may wish to query this with the spec writer.
A note of caution; most swing checks have a hinge pin that is removed from the side of the body. Side clearance is required to remove the spindle, otherwise the body may need to be removed from the pipeline.
Cheers
Steve McKenzie

The PID calls for this requirement. "Full bore check valve with external arm shall be top entry and allow swing replacement in service". The line size is 18". There are block valves shown across it with a drain d/s. I believe that this does not imply that the block valves have to be closed and then the swing taken out for maintenance, which then is an ordinary check valve with only an external arm or a dash-pot.

Dear Sajit,
Is this a one time problem or regular? What is the line size? Could you
please elaborate?
Regards,
Rajendra Bajikar.
