Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd., a professional valve manufacturer established in 2016, proudly presents our high-performance Full Bore Marine Ball Valve. Engineered specifically for the demanding environments of offshore platforms and tanker fuel oil transfer lines, this valve is built to ensure maximum flow efficiency and unwavering reliability. With an annual export value of US$1-1.5 million and ISO9001 certified quality management, we deliver robust solutions trusted by clients across North America, Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond.
Our Full Bore design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, allowing for pigging operations and ensuring efficient, high-volume fuel transfer critical for offshore and marine applications. It is constructed to withstand corrosive seawater, high pressures, and the constant motion of marine vessels, providing a secure shut-off solution for your most critical fuel handling systems.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Full Port (Full Bore) Design: The bore diameter matches the pipeline ID, ensuring minimal flow restriction, reduced pressure loss, and allowing for pipeline inspection gauge (pig) passage.
- Robust Construction for Marine Service: Available in carbon steel with special coatings or stainless steel (316/316L) to resist corrosion from saltwater, fuel, and harsh offshore atmospheres.
- High-Pressure Integrity: Designed per API 6D and ASME B16.34 standards, with pressure ratings from Class 150 to Class 600, suitable for various system pressures in fuel transfer lines.
- Reliable Sealing Performance: Utilizes advanced seat materials like PTFE or metal seats for tight shut-off, even after prolonged periods of inactivity, preventing dangerous fuel leaks.
- Versatile Actuation Options: Can be supplied with manual lever or gear operation, or automated with pneumatic/electric actuators for remote operation essential on large platforms and tankers.
- Fire-Safe Option: Available with fire-safe design tested to API 607/6FA standards, providing an extra layer of safety in case of fire by maintaining sealing integrity.
- Multiple End Connections: Standard flanged ends (ANSI, DIN, JIS), threaded (NPT, BSP), or butt-weld ends to seamlessly integrate into existing pipeline systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: Why is a "Full Bore" design important for fuel oil transfer lines?
A: A full bore valve has a flow passage diameter equal to the connecting pipe's inner diameter. This minimizes pressure drop, allows for higher flow rates with less pump energy, and is essential for pipeline pigging operations used for cleaning or inspection. -
Q: What material is recommended for seawater exposure on offshore platforms?
A: For optimal corrosion resistance in marine environments, we recommend stainless steel (AISI 316/316L) or duplex stainless steel valves. Carbon steel valves with suitable epoxy or phenolic coatings are also a cost-effective option. -
Q: Can this valve be automated for remote operation?
A: Yes, absolutely. Our ball valves can be fitted with pneumatic (double-acting or spring-return) or electric actuators. This is crucial for valves located in hard-to-reach areas on platforms or for integration into centralized control rooms. -
Q: Is a fire-safe version available?
A: Yes, we offer fire-safe design options. These valves are designed and tested (optional API 607/6FA certification) to maintain sealing integrity and prevent external leakage for a specified duration under fire conditions, a critical safety feature. -
Q: What standards do your marine ball valves comply with?
A: Our valves are manufactured according to key industry standards such as API 6D (Pipeline Valves) and ASME B16.34 (Valve Pressure-Temperature Ratings). Specific certifications like fire-safe are available upon request. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for an order?
A: Lead time depends on valve size, material, and specification complexity. For standard materials and sizes, typical production time is 4-6 weeks. We provide accurate timelines upon receipt of your detailed inquiry. -
Q: Do you provide technical support for valve selection and installation?
A: Yes, our engineering team provides comprehensive support. We can assist with valve sizing, material selection based on your service media (fuel type, seawater), pressure calculations, and actuator selection. -
Q: What are the packaging and shipping terms?
A: Valves are securely packaged in wooden cases to prevent damage during ocean freight. We ship worldwide from ports like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, and can work under standard Incoterms like FOB, CIF, or CFR as required.
