Abstract
A check valve may include: a check seat defining a flow path; a clapper assembly hingedly connected to the check seat and configured to obstruct the flow path, including: a clapper and a seal retainer detachably mounted to the clapper; a first extension extending from the clapper assembly in an upstream direction and having a roller; a cam arm rotatable relative to the clapper assembly and configured to engage with the roller; and a torsion spring operatively connected to the cam arm so as to apply a biasing force to the cam arm in the upstream direction. The biasing force may be imparted to the clapper assembly via the cam arm and roller, so that the clapper assembly obstructs the flow path.
