GB/T3036-94 Marine Wafer Butterfly Valve DN50-DN600 EPDM/NBR Seal Standard Compliant
Product Spotlights
As a leading valve manufacturer with a strong commitment to quality and reliability, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our GB/T3036-94 compliant Marine Wafer Butterfly Valve. Established in 2016 and backed by ISO9001 certification, we have consistently supplied robust and dependable fluid control solutions to a global clientele across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Our valves are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of marine applications, offering exceptional sealing performance, durability, and ease of operation in critical shipboard systems.
This valve series is designed for on/off and regulating services in seawater, ballast, cooling, firefighting, fuel oil, and other piping systems onboard vessels. The wafer-style design ensures a compact and lightweight installation between ANSI or DIN standard flanges, saving valuable space and weight – a crucial factor in marine engineering. The valve features a resilient EPDM or NBR seat, providing excellent sealing against a wide range of media and ensuring long service life even in challenging saline environments.
Key Features and Technical Advantages:
- Standard Compliance: Manufactured in strict accordance with the Chinese national standard GB/T3036-94, which specifies requirements for marine butterfly valves, ensuring interchangeability and reliability for shipbuilders and repair yards.
- Superior Sealing Options: Equipped with EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) or NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) sealing rings. EPDM offers excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, and seawater, while NBR provides good resistance to oils and fuels. The choice depends on the specific media.
- Wide Size Range: Available from DN50 (2") to DN600 (24"), covering the vast majority of pipeline requirements in marine systems, from auxiliary lines to main service lines.
- Robust Construction: The valve body is typically made from high-quality cast iron or ductile iron with corrosion-resistant coating. The disc is often stainless steel (e.g., CF8/304, CF8M/316) to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
- Versatile Actuation: Standard manual operation via a lever or a gearbox for larger sizes. The design is fully compatible with electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators for remote and automated control, which can be supplied upon request.
- Bidirectional Sealing: The resilient seat design provides effective bidirectional shut-off, preventing leakage from either direction of flow, which is essential for safety in marine applications.
- Low Torque Operation: The streamlined disc design and low-friction seat ensure low operating torque, reducing wear on the stem and actuator, and making manual operation easier.
- Maintenance-Friendly: The seat is often replaceable without removing the valve body from the pipeline, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs during ship overhaul periods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the main difference between EPDM and NBR seals for this valve?
A: EPDM seals are highly resistant to weathering, ozone, steam, and seawater, making them ideal for general marine water services. NBR seals offer better resistance to oils, fuels, and aliphatic hydrocarbons, suitable for fuel oil or lubricating oil lines. The selection should be based on the specific media in your system. -
Q: Can this wafer butterfly valve be used for throttling or flow control?
A: While primarily designed for on/off service, this resilient-seated butterfly valve can be used for moderate throttling applications. For precise flow control, especially with actuators, it is recommended to consult our engineering team for specific disc characteristics and Cv data. -
Q: Is this valve suitable for both freshwater and seawater applications?
A: Yes, with the appropriate material selections. For seawater service, we recommend a stainless steel disc (316/CF8M) and an EPDM seat. The valve body should have a suitable corrosion-resistant coating or be made of a more resistant material like duplex stainless steel upon request. -
Q: Do you provide valves with actuators for automated systems?
A: Absolutely. We can supply the valve as a complete package with electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators, along with necessary controls and accessories. Please specify your requirements for voltage, torque, control signal, and fail-safe mode when inquiring. -
Q: What are the flange standards compatible with this wafer valve?
A: The valve is designed to fit between flanges conforming to common standards such as ANSI B16.5 (Class 150) or DIN/EN standards (PN10/PN16). The face-to-face dimensions adhere to ISO 5752 Series 20, ensuring broad compatibility. -
Q: How do I determine the correct size (DN) for my pipeline?
A: The valve's nominal diameter (DN) should match the nominal diameter of your pipeline. For example, a DN100 valve is for a 100mm (approximately 4") nominal bore pipeline. Please provide your pipe specifications, and we can assist in selection. -
Q: What is the typical delivery lead time for an order?
A: Lead times vary based on order quantity, size, and material specifications. Standard sizes in common materials often have shorter lead times. With our efficient logistics from major Chinese ports, we strive to offer competitive lead times for global clients. -
Q: Does the valve come with any documentation or certification?
A> Yes, each valve is supplied with a manufacturer's data report. While the product is made to GB/T3036-94, specific material certifications (3.1) or pressure test certificates can be provided upon request to meet classification society or project requirements.
