As a specialized manufacturer with a focus on industrial flow control solutions, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to present our premium Full Bore API 6D Ball Valve series, engineered specifically for the demanding environments of offshore platforms. With our commitment to quality and reliability, this valve is designed to provide superior performance in critical oil and gas applications, ensuring safe and efficient operation under high pressure and corrosive conditions. Leveraging our manufacturing expertise since 2016, we deliver valves that meet the stringent requirements of global offshore projects.

This valve series is meticulously crafted to offer zero-pressure drop and full pipeline flow, making it an ideal choice for isolation and control services on offshore platforms, FPSOs, and subsea systems. Our product is built to withstand the challenges of marine environments, including exposure to saltwater, high humidity, and extreme weather fluctuations. We understand that downtime is not an option in offshore operations, which is why our valves are designed for long service life and minimal maintenance.

Key Features & Technical Advantages:

Full Bore Design: Provides unrestricted flow with minimal pressure drop, equivalent to the pipeline's internal diameter, ensuring efficient fluid transport and reduced pumping costs.
API 6D Compliance: Manufactured in strict accordance with API Specification 6D for pipeline valves, ensuring design, material, and testing standards suitable for critical service.
Robust Construction: Features a sturdy body and trim materials selected for offshore service, including carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coatings or stainless/duplex steel for enhanced durability.
Advanced Sealing Technology: Utilizes multiple sealing systems, including primary soft seats (PTFE/RPTFE) for bubble-tight shut-off and secondary metal-to-metal seals for fire-safe performance per API 607/6FA standards.
Extended Stem Design: Incorporates an extended bonnet or stem for easy insulation and protection, suitable for buried service or installations requiring extended stem length.
Anti-Static & Blowout Proof Stem: Integrated design ensures electrical continuity between ball and body, preventing static charge buildup, while the stem is securely retained under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is the main advantage of a full bore ball valve over a reduced bore valve for offshore use?
A: A full bore valve has an internal diameter equal to the pipeline, offering minimal flow restriction and pressure drop. This is crucial for offshore pipelines where pumping efficiency, pigging operations, and minimizing erosion in high-flow services are paramount.
Q: Are these valves suitable for sour service (H2S environments)?
A: Yes, we offer valves with materials compliant with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards for sour service. Options include specific grades of carbon steel, stainless steel (e.g., 316), and duplex/super duplex steels with appropriate hardness control.
Q: What actuation options are available, and what is the lead time for actuated valves?
A> We provide manual (lever/gearbox), pneumatic (double-acting or spring-return), and electric actuation. Standard manual valves have shorter lead times, while actuated assemblies may require additional time for sourcing and assembly. Specific lead times can be provided upon request based on the actuator brand and model.
Q: Do you provide documentation packages with the valves?
A: Yes, a comprehensive documentation package is available. It typically includes Material Test Certificates (MTC/CMTR), manufacturing data reports, pressure test reports, dimensional drawings, and a detailed packing list. Certificates of Conformity and Origin are also provided.
Q: Can these valves be used for subsea applications?
A: Our standard series is designed for topside offshore platform use. For subsea applications, which require specialized design for extreme pressure, ROV intervention, and cathodic protection, we recommend discussing your specific requirements as we may offer or develop customized solutions.
Q: What is your standard painting and coating specification for offshore environments?
A> Standard offshore coating typically involves abrasive blasting to Sa 2.5, an epoxy primer, and a high-build epoxy or polyurethane finish. We can also apply coatings per client specifications, such as specific paint systems from International, Hempel, or Jotun, for enhanced corrosion protection.
Q: How do you ensure quality control during manufacturing?
A> Our ISO9001 quality management system governs the entire process. This includes incoming material inspection, in-process checks (machining, assembly), and final testing. Every valve undergoes rigorous hydrostatic shell testing, seat leakage testing (with gas or liquid), and functional operation tests as per API 598.
Q: What are the main shipping ports and Incoterms you work with?
A> We primarily ship from major Chinese ports including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Beijing. We are experienced in handling various Incoterms such as FOB, CIF, CFR, and EXW to accommodate our global clients' logistics preferences.
