Marine Ball Valve for FPSO With Extended Manufacturer Warranty and MTR
Product Spotlights
As a specialized manufacturer with a strong focus on the demanding offshore and marine sectors since 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to present our high-performance Marine Ball Valve engineered specifically for Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) units. Our valves are built to withstand the harsh, corrosive, and high-pressure environments encountered offshore, ensuring reliable flow control for critical processes. We back our confidence in product durability with an extended manufacturer warranty and provide full Material Test Reports (MTRs) for complete traceability and quality assurance. Designed for safety, longevity, and minimal maintenance, this valve is a cornerstone for efficient and secure FPSO operations.
The core value of our FPSO Marine Ball Valve lies in its engineered resilience and verified quality. Every valve is subjected to rigorous testing protocols that exceed standard industry requirements. This commitment to quality is reflected in our ISO9001 certified manufacturing processes, ensuring consistency and reliability from raw material to finished product. Our annual export value of US$1-1.5 million to global markets, including North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, is a testament to the trust placed in our products by international clients in the oil & gas and marine industries.
Key Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade materials such as duplex stainless steel, super duplex, or carbon steel with specialized coatings (e.g., Xylan, epoxy) to combat seawater corrosion, sour service (H2S), and other aggressive media.
- Extended Stem Design: Features a lengthened stem to accommodate thick insulation layers commonly required on FPSO piping, preventing heat transfer and ensuring operational safety.
- Enhanced Safety Mechanisms: Integrated anti-static device to prevent sparking, a blow-out proof stem for operator safety, and fire-safe design compliant with API 607/6FA standards, ensuring integrity even under fire conditions.
- Robust Sealing Performance: Utilizes advanced seat materials like reinforced PTFE or PEEK for tight shut-off across a wide temperature range, with optional metal-seated designs for high-temperature or abrasive services.
- Low Maintenance & Easy Operation: Smooth, low-torque operation even after prolonged periods, with top-entry or fully welded body designs allowing for in-line maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the typical duration of the extended manufacturer warranty offered?
A: The specific warranty period is tailored based on the valve model, material, and service conditions. Please contact our technical sales team with your application details for the precise warranty terms applicable to your order. -
Q: Are the Material Test Reports (MTRs) provided with each valve?
A: Yes, a complete set of MTRs (also known as Mill Test Certificates) is provided as standard for every valve we supply. This documentation verifies the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the materials used, ensuring full traceability. -
Q: Can these valves be customized for specific low-temperature (cryogenic) services on FPSOs?
A: Absolutely. We offer design options suitable for cryogenic service, including extended bonnets, specific stem packing, and material selections certified for temperatures as low as -196°C. Please specify your temperature requirements during inquiry. -
Q: What anti-corrosion protection is available for valves in seawater ballast or splash zone applications?
A: We offer various protective solutions such as epoxy coatings (e.g., Fusion Bonded Epoxy), rubber lining, or cathodic protection kits. The best option depends on the exact service; our engineers can recommend the most suitable protection system. -
Q: Do you provide actuated valve packages for remote operation?
A: Yes, we can supply complete actuated packages. We work with reputable actuator manufacturers to provide pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuation systems that are assembled, tested, and warranted as a complete unit. -
Q: How do you ensure the fire-safe performance of the valve?
A: Our fire-safe design incorporates features like secondary metal seals. The valves can be manufactured and tested in accordance with recognized fire-safe standards such as API 607, API 6FA, or ISO 10497 upon request, with test certificates provided. -
Q: What is the lead time for large-diameter, high-pressure Class 1500 valves?
A: Lead times vary based on material availability, complexity, and order quantity. For large, high-specification valves, we recommend contacting us for a detailed project schedule. Our manufacturing flexibility allows us to work to critical project timelines. -
Q: Can you supply valves with specific NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 compliance for sour service?
A> Yes, we can manufacture valves using materials, hard-facing, and manufacturing processes that comply with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards for H2S service. This must be specified at the time of order to ensure correct material sourcing and treatment.
