As a professional manufacturer specializing in industrial valves since 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our high-performance FPSO Marine Ball Valve. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel operations, this valve is built to the DIN 3357 standard and incorporates critical safety features like an anti-static and blow-out proof stem. With our extended warranty and ISO9001-certified quality management, we deliver reliable flow control solutions trusted by clients across the globe from North America to Southeast Asia.
Our FPSO Marine Ball Valve is designed for superior performance in harsh offshore environments. Key features and specifications include:
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade carbon steel or stainless steel, the valve body ensures excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity against seawater and aggressive media.
- Enhanced Safety Stem: The integrated anti-static device prevents spark generation from static electricity, while the blow-out proof stem design guarantees the stem remains securely in place even under extreme pressure, a vital safety feature for hydrocarbon handling.
- Reliable Sealing: Utilizing advanced seat materials like PTFE or reinforced PTFE, the valve provides bubble-tight shut-off, minimizing fugitive emissions and ensuring long-term sealing performance.
- DIN 3357 Compliance: Adherence to this recognized German standard ensures consistent dimensions, pressure ratings, and material specifications, facilitating easy integration and replacement within international marine piping systems.
- Versatile Operation: Available with manual lever operation or optional gear operators for high-torque applications, allowing for easy control in hard-to-reach locations on an FPSO.
- Extended Service Life: Precision machining, superior surface treatments, and quality component selection contribute to reduced maintenance cycles and extended operational lifespan, lowering your total cost of ownership.
Technical specifications for standard models are summarized below:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does "Blow-Out Proof Stem" mean for this valve?
A1: The blow-out proof stem is a critical safety mechanism. It mechanically locks the stem in place, preventing it from being forcibly ejected out of the valve body if internal pressure becomes excessively high or if the packing system is compromised. This feature is essential for containing hazardous fluids on an FPSO.
Q2: Why is the anti-static feature important for a marine ball valve?
A2: When hydrocarbons flow through a pipeline, static electricity can build up. The anti-static device, typically a spring-loaded ball or conductive path between the ball and body, safely grounds any static charge, eliminating the risk of a spark that could ignite flammable gases, thereby enhancing operational safety.
Q3: Can this DIN 3357 valve be used in systems designed to other standards like API or ANSI?
A3: While designed and tested to DIN 3357, our valves often have comparable pressure-temperature ratings to API/ANSI standards. Flange dimensions are per DIN EN 1092, which may differ from ANSI B16.5. It's crucial to specify your system's existing standard for proper interface compatibility; adaptor flanges or custom orders are available.
Q4: What is covered under the "Extended Warranty"?
A4: Our extended warranty goes beyond standard industry terms, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal service conditions for a longer specified period. Exact duration and coverage details are provided with the purchase order, offering you greater financial protection and confidence in product quality.
Q5: What material options are available for handling seawater or corrosive well fluids?
A5: For seawater service, we recommend stainless steel (CF8M/316SS) bodies. For more corrosive production fluids, super duplex stainless steel or other high-alloy materials can be offered upon request. Seat materials like enhanced PTFE or PEEK can also be selected for specific chemical compatibility.
Q6: Is this valve suitable for fire-safe applications?
A6: Yes, a fire-safe design compliant with standards like API 607 or API 6FA is available as an option. This design includes features such as secondary metal seals that maintain sealing capability even if the primary soft seals are damaged by fire.
Q7: Do you provide actuation systems (pneumatic/electric) for remote operation?
A7: Absolutely. We can supply the ball valve pre-assembled with pneumatic (double-acting or spring-return) or electric actuators, along with necessary accessories like limit switches and solenoid valves, tailored for automated control systems on your FPSO.
Q8: What is your typical lead time for an order?
A8: Lead time depends on the order quantity, size, and material specifications. For standard DN15-DN300 carbon steel or stainless steel valves, production typically takes 4-8 weeks. We provide accurate timelines upon receipt of your detailed inquiry to ensure timely project planning.
