DN50 to DN200 Bronze Wafer Butterfly Check Valve CBT4303 for Shipbuilding
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with a strong presence in the global valve market, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to introduce our high-performance CBT4303 Bronze Wafer Butterfly Check Valve. Designed specifically for demanding marine and shipbuilding applications, this valve offers reliable, maintenance-free backflow prevention in a compact and durable package. With over eight years of expertise since our establishment in 2016, we understand the critical need for corrosion resistance and dependable operation in seawater systems. Our commitment to quality, backed by ISO 9001 certification, ensures that every valve meets the stringent requirements of international shipbuilding standards, providing peace of mind for engineers and procurement managers worldwide.
The CBT4303 series is engineered to deliver superior performance in seawater, cooling, ballast, and other fluid handling systems on vessels. Its primary function is to allow fluid flow in one direction while automatically preventing reverse flow (backflow), protecting pumps, compressors, and other equipment from damage. The wafer-style design allows for easy installation between ANSI or DIN standard flanges, saving significant space and weight compared to traditional swing check valves – a crucial advantage in ship design.
Key Features & Technical Advantages:
- Corrosion-Resistant Bronze Body: Manufactured from high-grade bronze alloy (CAC406 / C95800), offering excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, dezincification, and cavitation, ensuring a long service life in harsh marine environments.
- Compact Wafer Design: Provides a space-saving and lightweight solution. The valve installs directly between pipeline flanges without the need for additional gaskets on the valve face, simplifying installation and reducing overall system weight.
- Spring-Assisted, Quick Closing Disc: The disc is mounted on a stainless steel shaft and assisted by a spring. This design ensures rapid, positive closure upon flow stoppage or reversal, minimizing water hammer and slam, which is critical for system integrity.
- Bubble-Tight Sealing: Features a resilient seat (standard NBR, with EPDM or PTFE options) that provides bubble-tight sealing in the closed position, preventing leakage and ensuring system efficiency.
- Low Pressure Drop: The streamlined disc design offers minimal flow resistance when open, contributing to energy efficiency in pumping systems.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The simple, robust design with few moving parts and corrosion-resistant materials translates to reliable, long-term operation with minimal need for intervention.
- Multi-Directional Mounting: Can be installed in horizontal or vertical pipelines (with flow direction upward), offering flexibility in system layout and design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: What is the main advantage of a wafer-style check valve over a swing check valve for shipbuilding?
A: The wafer design is significantly more compact and lighter. It installs between flanges, eliminating the need for extra pipe length or support that a swing check valve requires. This saves crucial space and reduces weight in marine applications.
Q2: Can this valve be used with seawater?
A: Yes, absolutely. The bronze body (CAC406/C95800) offers strong resistance to seawater corrosion. For extended life in highly aggressive conditions, options like a nickel-plated disc or 316 stainless steel shaft are available.
Q3: What is the cracking pressure for this valve?
A: The spring-assisted design requires a minimal pressure to open, typically very low (e.g., 0.1-0.2 bar). The specific value can vary slightly by size. This ensures the valve opens easily with forward flow and closes promptly when flow stops.
Q4: Is installation direction critical?
A: Yes. The valve body has an arrow indicating the correct flow direction. It can be installed in horizontal lines or vertical lines where flow is upward. Installation against the arrow or in a vertical downflow line will prevent proper operation.
Q5: Are spare parts like seats and springs available?
A: Yes, we provide comprehensive after-sales support. Common wear parts like resilient seats and springs are available as spare kits. The valve design also allows for relatively straightforward maintenance if required.
Q6: Do you offer different seat materials?
A: Yes. Standard seats are NBR (Nitrile), suitable for water and oils up to 80-90°C. For higher temperatures or different media (e.g., certain chemicals), EPDM or PTFE seats can be specified.
Q7: What flange standards does this valve fit between?
A: The CBT4303 is designed to fit between standard ANSI Class 125/150 or PN10/16 flanges. The face-to-face dimensions comply with API 609 and MSS SP-67 standards for wafer check valves.
Q8: Can this valve handle slurries or fluids with solids?
A: It is primarily designed for clean or mildly dirty fluids. For media with significant solids or fibrous content, a different type of check valve (like a ball check or dual-plate) might be more suitable to prevent clogging or seat damage.
