- DNV Type Approval: Holds DNV (Det Norske Veritas) certification, a globally recognized mark of quality and safety for marine equipment, providing assurance for critical applications.
- Compact Wafer Design: The wafer-style body installs between two pipe flanges using through-bolts, saving significant space and weight compared to lug or flanged-end valves, ideal for tight engine rooms and pump rooms.
- 5K Pressure Rating: Rated for a nominal pressure of 5K (equivalent to PN10), suitable for a wide range of shipboard service systems including bilge, ballast, cooling water, and general service lines.
- Versatile Material Options: Available with different body (e.g., cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel) and seat (e.g., EPDM for freshwater, NBR for oil, PTFE for chemicals) materials to suit specific media and temperature conditions.
- Multiple Actuation Methods: Can be operated manually via a lever or gearbox, or automated with pneumatic/electric actuators for remote control and integration into automated systems.
- Bubble-Tight Shut-off: Features a precision-machined disc and a resilient seat that ensures reliable, bubble-tight sealing in both directions, minimizing leakage and ensuring system integrity.
- Low Torque Operation: The streamlined disc design and low-friction seat material allow for easy operation with minimal torque, reducing wear on actuators and operator effort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
What does "5K" pressure rating mean for this valve?
The "5K" designation refers to the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) pressure class, indicating the valve is suitable for a nominal pressure of 5 kgf/cm². This is approximately equivalent to PN10 (10 bar) in other international standards, making it suitable for low to medium-pressure shipboard services. -
Is this valve suitable for seawater applications?
Yes, with the appropriate material selection. For seawater service, we recommend a stainless steel body (CF8M/316) and an EPDM or PTFE seat to resist corrosion. Specific material combinations can be customized upon request to handle corrosive media. -
Can this wafer valve be used as an isolation valve for pumps?
Absolutely. Its bubble-tight shut-off capability and compact design make it an excellent choice for isolating marine pumps on suction or discharge lines for maintenance, ensuring system safety and efficiency. -
What is the significance of DNV approval for my project?
DNV (Det Norske Veritas) is a leading international marine classification society. Their type approval certifies that the valve design, manufacturing, and testing meet their stringent rules and standards for marine use. This approval is often a mandatory requirement for equipment installed on DNV-classed vessels and is highly respected by other classification societies, simplifying regulatory compliance. -
Do you provide valves with actuators for automated control?
Yes, we offer this valve as a complete package with pneumatic (double-acting or spring-return) or electric actuators. The actuator type, torque output, control signals (e.g., 4-20mA, on/off), and accessories (limit switches, solenoid valves) can be specified to match your control system needs. -
How does the wafer connection differ from a lug-type butterfly valve?
A wafer valve is installed by sandwiching it between two pipeline flanges, which are then bolted together. A lug-type valve has threaded inserts (lugs) on the body, allowing it to be bolted directly to each flange independently. The wafer design is more compact and cost-effective for isolation between two flanges, while the lug type can be used as an end-of-line valve. -
What is the typical delivery lead time for this DN150 valve?
For standard configurations with common materials (e.g., cast iron body, EPDM seat, lever operation), we generally maintain stock for prompt shipment. For customized orders or specific material grades, the lead time may vary. Please contact our sales team with your detailed specification for an accurate delivery schedule. -
What testing is performed on these valves before shipment?
Each valve undergoes routine factory tests, which typically include a shell strength test (hydrostatic pressure test) and a seat leakage test (air or water under pressure) per JIS F7481 and DNV requirements. Detailed test reports can be provided upon request.
