CB/T3191 Marine Ball Valve With Mill Test Report Provided
Product Spotlights
As a professional manufacturer specializing in marine fluid control solutions, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our high-performance CB/T3191 Marine Ball Valve. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the shipbuilding industry, this valve is designed for reliable, long-lasting service in critical marine applications. Our commitment to quality, backed by ISO9001 certified manufacturing processes since 2016, ensures every valve delivers the performance and durability required for safe and efficient vessel operation. We understand that marine environments demand components that can withstand corrosion, pressure, and constant use, which is why our CB/T3191 valves are manufactured with precision and subjected to stringent testing, including the provision of a comprehensive Mill Test Report (MTR) for full material traceability and quality assurance.
The CB/T3191 standard specifies the technical requirements for marine ball valves, and our product is a faithful and high-quality embodiment of these specifications. It is a quarter-turn valve that uses a perforated, pivoting ball to control flow. When the valve is open, the ball's hole aligns with the flow direction, allowing media to pass through. A 90-degree rotation of the handle positions the solid side of the ball across the flow path, providing a tight seal and complete shut-off. This simple yet robust design offers several distinct advantages for marine engineers and shipbuilders.
- Superior Sealing Performance: The valve features advanced seat materials and a precision-machined ball, ensuring a bubble-tight seal even after prolonged cycling. This is critical for preventing leaks in fuel, bilge, ballast, and other shipboard systems.
- Low Torque Operation: The streamlined flow path and low-friction design allow for easy operation, reducing the effort required by crew members, which is especially important for larger valve sizes.
- Quick Opening/Closing: The quarter-turn operation enables rapid response in emergency situations or during routine system adjustments, enhancing operational safety and efficiency.
- Minimal Pressure Drop: When fully open, the bore of the ball valve is almost equal to the pipeline diameter, resulting in very little flow resistance and helping to maintain system pressure and pump efficiency.
- Durability & Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from marine-grade materials such as carbon steel with suitable coatings or stainless steel (316/316L), the valve offers excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for both interior and exterior marine installations.
- Versatile Actuation Options: While supplied with a standard manual lever, our valves can be easily fitted with gear operators for high-torque applications or automated with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators for remote control and integration into the ship's automation systems.
- Bi-Directional Flow: The symmetrical design allows the valve to be installed in either flow direction without compromising its sealing capability or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the significance of the CB/T3191 standard?
A1: CB/T3191 is a Chinese national professional standard specifically for marine ball valves. It defines the design, manufacturing, testing, and acceptance criteria to ensure the valves are suitable for the harsh conditions and safety-critical applications found on ships and offshore platforms. Valves conforming to this standard are widely recognized and accepted in the global shipbuilding industry.
Q2: Is the Mill Test Report (MTR) provided for every valve?
A2: Yes, a Mill Test Report (also called Material Test Report or Certificate) is provided as a standard documentation package with our CB/T3191 valves. This report, issued by the material mill, certifies the chemical and physical properties of the metal used for critical components like the valve body, ball, and stem.
Q3: Can these valves be used with seawater?
A3: Absolutely. For seawater applications, we typically recommend valves constructed from 316/316L stainless steel or carbon steel with specialized marine-grade coatings (like epoxy or zinc-nickel) to provide superior resistance to saltwater corrosion. Please specify the media during inquiry for correct material selection.
Q4: Are your valves suitable for remote operation?
A4: Yes. While supplied as manual valves, they are designed to be compatible with various actuators. We can supply the valves pre-fitted with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators, or you can source the actuators separately. The valve design includes a standardized mounting interface for easy automation.
Q5: What is the lead time for an order?
A5: Lead time depends on the order quantity, size, material specification, and any special requirements (like actuation). For standard specifications in moderate quantities, typical lead times range from 30 to 60 days. We provide accurate lead time estimates with every formal quotation.
Q6: Do you offer customization beyond the standard CB/T3191 specifications?
A6: Yes, we offer a range of customizable options. These include special coatings, extended stem lengths for insulated lines, locking devices, different handle types, and compliance with additional international standards like ISO, DIN, or ANSI/API. Please discuss your specific needs with our technical sales team.
Q7: What quality certifications does your manufacturing process hold?
A7: Our manufacturing facility is certified to the ISO9001:2015 Quality Management System standard. This certification underpins our consistent production processes, quality control checks, and traceability systems, ensuring reliable and repeatable product quality.
Q8: How do you ensure packaging for safe ocean freight?
A8: Valves are carefully cleaned, dried, and preserved (with VCI or desiccant as needed). They are then packed in sturdy wooden cases or pallets designed to withstand the rigors of international shipping. Flanges and threaded ends are protected with plastic caps to prevent damage during transit.
