Product Spotlights
As a professional valve manufacturer with a strong export presence, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to present our high-performance GB/T3036-94 Marine Wafer Butterfly Valve. Engineered specifically for demanding marine environments, this valve series from DN50 to DN600 offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for fluid control on ships and offshore platforms. With our ISO9001-certified manufacturing processes and annual export experience exceeding US$1 million, we ensure each valve delivers consistent performance, durability, and compliance with stringent marine standards.
Our Marine Wafer Butterfly Valve is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of shipboard piping systems, including ballast, cooling water, fuel oil, and general service lines. Its compact wafer design allows for easy installation between flanges, saving space and weight – critical factors in marine engineering. The valve operates efficiently across a pressure range of PN0.6 to 1.6MPa, providing versatile control for various onboard applications.
Key Features & Technical Advantages:
- Robust Construction for Marine Use: The valve body is typically manufactured from ductile iron or cast steel with anti-corrosion coatings like epoxy or galvanization to withstand salty, humid marine atmospheres. The disc, often made of stainless steel or coated ductile iron, resists erosion and corrosion from seawater and other fluids.
- Superior Sealing Performance: Equipped with a resilient seat made from materials like EPDM (for water), NBR (for oil), or Viton (for chemicals), the valve ensures bubble-tight shut-off, preventing leaks that could compromise vessel safety and efficiency.
- Easy Operation & Maintenance: Available with lever, gearbox, or pneumatic/electric actuator operation, the valve allows for manual or automated control. The simple design features few moving parts, enabling quick inspection and minimal maintenance, even in confined engine room spaces.
- Compliance & Interchangeability: Manufactured to the GB/T3036-94 standard, a recognized Chinese national standard for marine valves, our product offers reliable quality and can be suitable for integration with international marine piping systems.

Benefits for Your Marine Projects:
- Enhanced System Reliability: The valve's corrosion-resistant materials and tight sealing ensure long-term, trouble-free operation in critical marine systems, reducing downtime and repair costs.
- Space and Weight Savings: The wafer design is lighter and more compact compared to gate or globe valves, contributing to overall weight reduction and efficient use of limited shipboard space.
- Cost-Effective Fluid Control: Provides an economical solution without compromising performance. Lower initial investment coupled with minimal maintenance requirements leads to a favorable total cost of ownership.
- Flexibility and Customization: We offer various material combinations, end connections, and actuation options to match specific fluid media, pressure conditions, and control system requirements on your vessel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What does "GB/T3036-94" mean, and is it recognized internationally?
A: GB/T3036-94 is a Chinese national technical standard specifically for marine butterfly valves. It specifies requirements for design, materials, dimensions, testing, and marking. While it is a Chinese standard, many of its technical parameters align with international norms (like ISO standards), making valves manufactured to this specification suitable for global marine projects, especially when paired with compatible flange standards. -
Q: Can this wafer valve be used with different flange standards like ANSI or JIS?
A: Yes. While the valve body dimensions comply with GB/T3036-94, we can supply valves with flange face configurations (drilling, raised face) to match common international standards such as ANSI, JIS, DIN, or ISO upon request. Please specify your required flange standard when inquiring. -
Q: What is the main advantage of a wafer-type design over a lug-type for marine use?
A: The wafer design is sandwiched between two pipeline flanges using through-bolts. It is generally lighter, more compact, and often more cost-effective. For marine applications where space and weight are premium, the wafer type is frequently preferred. Lug-type valves have threaded inserts (lugs) for bolting to each flange independently and may be used where one side of the pipeline needs to be disconnected. -
Q: What seat material do you recommend for seawater service?
A: For seawater (ballast, cooling water), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a commonly recommended resilient seat material due to its excellent resistance to seawater, ozone, and weathering. For more corrosive media or higher temperatures, materials like Viton or PTFE may be considered. -
Q: Are these valves suitable for actuation (automated control)?
A> Absolutely. Our butterfly valves are designed to be compatible with pneumatic (air) actuators or electric actuators. We can supply the valve as a manual unit (lever or gear) or as a complete package with an actuator, positioner, and other accessories tailored to your control system needs. -
Q: What kind of testing do these valves undergo before shipment?
A> Each valve undergoes rigorous factory testing, which typically includes a shell strength test (hydrostatic pressure test on the body) and a seat leakage test to ensure it meets the specified pressure rating and provides tight shut-off. Test certificates can be provided upon request. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for an order of DN200 valves?
A> Lead time depends on the order quantity, specific material configuration, and actuation requirements. For standard configurations in moderate quantities, production lead time is generally within 30-45 days, excluding shipping. We provide accurate lead time estimates with every quotation. -
Q: Do you provide technical support for valve selection and installation?
A> Yes. As a manufacturer, our engineering team can provide technical support to help you select the appropriate valve size, materials, and accessories for your specific marine application. We can also supply installation manuals and guidance.
