Product Spotlights
As a professional valve manufacturer established in 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd specializes in producing high-performance industrial valves, including our reliable Low Temperature Ball Valve compliant with CB/T3191. With an annual export value reaching up to US$1.5 million and certifications like ISO9001 ensuring our quality management system, we serve global markets from North America to Southeast Asia. Our cryogenic ball valves are engineered to handle extreme cold environments, offering dependable shut-off control for critical processes in LNG handling, petrochemical plants, and cryogenic storage systems. We provide comprehensive technical support and a ready supply of spare parts, ensuring long-term operational reliability for our clients.
Our valves are designed with several key features to withstand low-temperature challenges:
- Extended Stem Design: A lengthened stem prevents cold transfer from the process fluid to the operating mechanism, protecting the actuator and operator from frostbite.
- Special Sealing Systems: Utilizing advanced materials like reinforced PTFE or graphite, the seals maintain flexibility and integrity even at temperatures down to -196°C.
- Anti-Freeze Lubrication: Internal lubrication is formulated for cryogenic service, preventing seizure and ensuring smooth operation.
- Robust Body Construction: Made from stainless steel (304/316) or carbon steel, the valve body offers high strength and corrosion resistance.
- Full Port or Standard Port: Options are available to minimize flow resistance (full port) or for standard applications.
- Multiple Actuation Options: The valve can be operated manually, or equipped with pneumatic or electric actuators for remote or automated control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What does "compliant with CB/T3191" mean for this valve?
CB/T3191 is a Chinese technical standard specifically for valves used in low-temperature conditions. Compliance ensures the valve's design, materials, and testing meet defined requirements for performance and safety in cryogenic environments, typically covering aspects like extended stems, sealing, and pressure ratings. -
Can this valve be used for liquid nitrogen (-196°C) applications?
Yes, our standard valve range is designed to operate reliably at temperatures as low as -196°C, which is suitable for liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, and similar cryogenic fluids. Material selection, especially for seals, is critical and can be customized for your specific fluid. -
What types of end connections are available?
We offer flanged connections (following common standards like GB, ANSI, DIN), threaded connections (NPT, BSP), and welded ends. The choice depends on your piping system design. -
Is the valve suitable for automated control systems?
Absolutely. The valve can be fitted with pneumatic actuators (for on/off or modulating control) or electric actuators. We provide technical support for selecting and integrating the appropriate actuator. -
How does the "extended stem" feature work?
The stem is longer than in standard ball valves. This creates a thermal barrier, isolating the cold fluid inside the valve body from the operating handle or actuator mounted outside, preventing frost formation and ensuring safe manual or automated operation. -
What spare parts are typically needed and are they available?
Common spare parts include seal rings (seat seals), stem seals (gaskets), and ball assemblies. We maintain stock of these critical components and can supply them promptly to minimize downtime during maintenance. -
Does the valve come with any performance test reports?
Yes, each valve undergoes factory testing, including pressure tests and low-temperature cycle tests where applicable. Test reports can be provided upon request. -
Can you customize the valve for a specific pressure rating or size not listed?
Yes, as a manufacturer, we offer customization services. Non-standard sizes, special pressure ratings (higher or lower), or unique material combinations can be developed based on your project specifications.
