DIN 3357 FPSO Ball Valve With Mill Test Report and 3-Year Seal Warranty
Product Spotlights
As a professional valve manufacturer established in 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. specializes in providing high-integrity fluid control solutions for demanding offshore and marine applications. Our DIN 3357 FPSO Ball Valve is engineered to meet the rigorous challenges of Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading units, where reliability, safety, and long-term performance are non-negotiable. This valve is manufactured under our ISO9001 certified quality management system, ensuring consistent excellence from raw material to final testing. We back our commitment to quality with a comprehensive 3-Year Seal Warranty and provide full Mill Test Reports for complete traceability and peace of mind for your critical projects.
The core design of this valve adheres to the DIN 3357 standard, which specifies requirements for metal ball valves, ensuring dimensional interchangeability, robust construction, and reliable performance. This makes it an ideal choice for the harsh, corrosive environments encountered in FPSO operations, handling crude oil, produced water, gas, and other process fluids. The valve's construction prioritizes minimal maintenance and maximum service life, a critical factor for offshore assets where downtime costs are exceptionally high.
Key Features and Technical Advantages:
- Enhanced Seal Integrity: Features advanced sealing systems designed for zero leakage in both directions. The seat and seal materials are selected for compatibility with a wide range of media and to withstand high pressures and temperature fluctuations typical in FPSO service.
- Robust Construction for Marine Service: The valve body, ball, and stem are manufactured from materials with proven resistance to seawater corrosion, sour service (H2S), and other aggressive elements. Options include carbon steel with suitable coatings, stainless steel (316/316L), and duplex/super duplex steels.
- Fire-Safe Design (Optional): Available with fire-safe features in accordance with standards like API 607/API 6FA. This design ensures the valve maintains its integrity and prevents external leakage in the event of a fire, a crucial safety requirement for offshore platforms.
- Anti-Static and Blowout-Proof Stem: The design incorporates features to prevent static electricity buildup and ensures the stem cannot be blown out under pressure, enhancing operational safety.
- Full Port or Reduced Port: Available in full bore design to minimize pressure drop and allow for pipeline pigging, or standard port for general applications where flow efficiency is balanced with cost.
- Multiple Actuation Options: Can be supplied as a manual valve, or equipped with gear operators, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic actuators, or electric actuators for remote or automated control integration into your FPSO's control system.

Benefits for Your FPSO Project:
- Reduced Lifecycle Cost: The combination of durable construction and a 3-year seal warranty directly lowers total cost of ownership by reducing replacement part frequency and unplanned maintenance.
- Project Compliance and Traceability: The supplied Mill Test Report (MTR) provides full material chemical and mechanical property traceability, simplifying your QA/QC documentation and ensuring compliance with project specifications.
- Operational Reliability: Designed for the demanding FPSO environment, these valves offer consistent performance, reducing the risk of process shutdowns and associated production losses.
- Global Supply and Support: With annual export values between US$1-1.5 Million and main markets spanning North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, we have the experience and logistics network to support global FPSO projects, shipping from major ports like Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Beijing.
Trust in a manufacturer with a proven track record. Our ISO9001 certification is a testament to our systematic approach to quality control in every valve we produce. The 3-Year Seal Warranty is our tangible promise of durability, and the Mill Test Report offers complete transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What does the 3-Year Seal Warranty specifically cover?
A: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship of the primary sealing components (seats and stem seals) under normal service conditions as specified in the order. It guarantees that these parts will function without leakage for three years from the date of shipment, provided the valve is installed and operated within its designated parameters. -
Q: Is the Mill Test Report (MTR) provided for all materials?
A: Yes. A complete set of MTRs, also known as Material Certificates, is provided for all pressure-containing and critical components (body, bonnet, ball, stem, etc.). These reports are traceable to the heat/batch number of the material and include chemical composition and mechanical property test results. -
Q: Can this DIN 3357 valve be used in sour service (H2S) environments?
A: Yes, but it requires specific material selection and manufacturing controls. We offer valves in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 compliant materials (e.g., certain grades of stainless or duplex steel) and can implement required hardness controls for sour service applications. Please specify this requirement during inquiry. -
Q: What is the lead time for an order of these FPSO ball valves?
A: Lead time depends on the size, material, pressure class, and quantity. For standard configurations, it typically ranges from 8 to 12 weeks. We recommend sharing your detailed requisition early for an accurate schedule. Expedited production may be available upon request. -
Q: Do you offer full functional testing before shipment?
A> Standard factory tests include shell test (body strength), seat leak test (bi-directional), and operational tests. Additional tests like cryogenic testing, fire testing, or fugitive emission testing can be performed as per project requirements, which may affect cost and lead time. -
Q: Can you supply valves with actuators and control systems?
A> Absolutely. We can provide a complete package including the ball valve, actuator (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric), limit switches, solenoid valves, and other accessories. We can assemble, test, and ship the unit as a ready-to-install package. -
Q: How do you ensure packaging for sea transport to offshore sites?
A> We use robust, weather-resistant packaging. Valves are cleaned, dried, preserved (vapor corrosion inhibitor plugs/coatings), and securely crated on wooden skids to prevent damage during long-distance ocean freight and handling at the port or offshore site.
