CB/T3191 Reduced Bore Marine Ball Valve With Warranty and Spare Parts Kit
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. As a professional valve manufacturer established in 2016, we specialize in providing high-performance and reliable fluid control solutions for the demanding marine industry. Our CB/T3191 Reduced Bore Marine Ball Valve is engineered to meet the rigorous standards of shipbuilding and offshore applications, offering exceptional durability and precise flow control in a compact, space-saving design. This valve is supplied with a comprehensive warranty and a dedicated spare parts kit, ensuring long-term operational security and minimizing vessel downtime for our clients worldwide, from North America to Southeast Asia.
This valve is not just a component; it's a commitment to the safety and efficiency of your marine operations. The reduced bore design is a key feature, providing a smaller flow passage than the connecting pipeline. This offers significant advantages in marine systems where space and weight are critical factors, and where pressure drop can be managed or is even desirable for certain control functions. The robust construction and adherence to the CB/T3191 Chinese ship standard ensure compatibility and reliability in seawater, fuel oil, lubricating oil, compressed air, and other shipboard service lines.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Standard-Compliant Design: Manufactured in strict accordance with the CB/T3191 standard for marine valves, guaranteeing dimensional interchangeability, material suitability, and performance metrics required for marine classification society approvals.
- Optimized Reduced Bore Construction: The bore is typically reduced to approximately one pipe size smaller than the valve's nominal size. This design reduces the overall valve weight, requires less actuator torque, and can lower initial cost, making it ideal for large-diameter lines where full flow is not essential.
- Superior Sealing & Long Service Life: Features advanced seat materials like reinforced PTFE (RPTFE) or metal seats for fire-safe applications. The precision-machined ball and seats ensure bubble-tight shut-off, even after prolonged cycles, critical for preventing leaks in sensitive marine environments.
-
Robust & Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Available in a range of materials to combat harsh marine conditions:
- Body/Ball/Stem: Carbon Steel (WCB), Stainless Steel (CF8/CF8M/CF3/CF3M), Duplex Steel (F51/F53).
- Surfaces are often treated with epoxy coatings or electroless nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance against saltwater spray and atmospheric conditions.
- Versatile Operation & Actuation: Can be fitted with a standard lever, a gearbox for larger sizes, or automated with pneumatic or electric actuators. The stem is designed with an anti-blowout feature for safety.
- Comprehensive Warranty & Spare Parts Kit: Each valve is backed by a clear warranty against manufacturing defects. The included spare parts kit typically contains critical wear items like seat seals, stem packing, and gaskets, enabling quick onboard maintenance and repair.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the main difference between a reduced bore and a full bore ball valve in marine use?
A: A full bore valve has an internal diameter matching the pipe, minimizing pressure drop. A reduced bore valve has a smaller flow passage, which reduces weight, size, and cost. It's suitable for applications where a slight pressure increase is acceptable, such as in many shipboard utility lines. -
Q: Is the CB/T3191 standard accepted by international marine classification societies?
A: Yes, the CB/T3191 is a Chinese national standard specifically for ship valves. It is widely recognized and can be used as a basis for approval by major classification societies (like ABS, DNV, LR, BV) when supported by the necessary material certificates and test reports. We can provide documentation to facilitate this process. -
Q: What is typically included in the spare parts kit?
A: The kit is designed for common maintenance needs and usually includes items like a set of seat seals (PTFE/RPTFE rings), stem packing set (graphite or PTFE), body gaskets, and sometimes a set of bolts/nuts. The exact contents can be customized based on valve size and service. -
Q: Can this valve be used for cryogenic services or high-temperature applications beyond the standard range?
A: The standard valve is rated for -20°C to 200°C. For cryogenic (e.g., LNG) or higher temperature services, special design considerations for materials (e.g., extended stem, low-temperature seat materials) and manufacturing are required. We offer customized solutions for such demanding conditions. -
Q: What is the lead time for an order of these valves?
A: Lead time depends on the order quantity, size, material, and any special requirements. For standard configurations in common sizes and materials, we typically maintain stock or can produce within 4-6 weeks. We provide a confirmed timeline with every quotation. -
Q: Do you offer actuated versions of this valve?
A: Absolutely. We can supply the valve pre-fitted with pneumatic (double-acting or spring-return) or electric actuators. We will select an appropriately sized actuator based on your valve size, pressure differential, and required operating speed/torque. -
Q: How does the warranty work, and what does it cover?
A: Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a specified period (e.g., 12-24 months from shipment). It includes repair or replacement of the defective valve. The warranty terms are clearly stated in our commercial contract. Proper installation and use per our instructions are required for warranty validity. -
Q: Can you provide valves with different face-to-face dimensions than CB/T3191?
A: While we primarily manufacture to the CB/T3191 standard dimensions, we have the capability to produce valves to other international standards like ISO 17292, API 6D, or to specific customer drawings, subject to engineering review and quotation.
