Engineered with a robust cast iron body and a reliable EPDM seal, this valve is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of marine applications. With a size range from DN50 to DN600, it offers a versatile and efficient solution for fluid control on ships and offshore platforms. Our commitment to quality, backed by ISO9001 certification, ensures that every valve delivers consistent performance and durability in challenging seawater environments.
Key Features & Technical Specifications:
- Marine-Grade Construction: Compliant with JIS F7481 standard, ensuring suitability for shipboard use, including seawater, ballast, and cooling systems.
- Durable Material Combination: The cast iron body provides strength and corrosion resistance, while the EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) seal offers excellent resilience against seawater, oils, and a wide temperature range.
- Wafer Design Efficiency: The wafer-type design allows for installation between two pipeline flanges, saving space and weight compared to lug-type valves, which is critical in marine engineering.
- Broad Size Availability: Available in nominal diameters from DN50 (approx. 2 inches) to DN600 (approx. 24 inches), catering to various pipeline requirements onboard.
- Operational Flexibility: The valve can be operated manually via a handle, or equipped with gear operators or pneumatic/electric actuators for remote control, adaptable to different system designs.
- Excellent Sealing Performance: The EPDM seal ensures tight shut-off, low leakage, and reliable service in marine conditions, contributing to system safety and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
What does "JIS F7481" mean for this valve?
JIS F7481 is a Japanese Industrial Standard specifically for marine valves. It defines requirements for materials, design, testing, and performance to ensure valves are suitable for use in shipboard seawater and other marine systems, offering a recognized benchmark for quality. -
Why is EPDM seal material chosen for marine applications?
EPDM rubber is known for its excellent resistance to seawater, weathering, ozone, and a broad range of temperatures. It maintains elasticity and sealing properties in marine environments, making it a preferred choice for sealing in butterfly valves used on ships. -
What is the difference between a Wafer and a Lug butterfly valve?
A wafer valve is designed to be installed between two flanges using bolts that pass through both flanges and the valve. A lug valve has threaded lugs (ears) that allow it to be bolted directly to each flange independently. Wafer valves are typically more compact and lighter. -
Can this valve be used with actuators for automated control?
Yes. While supplied with a manual handle as standard, the valve design is compatible with the addition of gear operators, pneumatic actuators, or electric actuators. This allows for integration into automated control systems onboard. -
What pressure ratings are available for these valves?
The pressure rating (e.g., PN10, PN16) can be customized based on your project requirements. Please provide your specific pressure class needs during inquiry so we can configure the valve accordingly. -
Are other seal materials available besides EPDM?
EPDM is the standard seal material for this marine valve line due to its suitability. However, for specific media or temperature conditions, other elastomers like NBR or PTFE might be considered as optional alternatives upon request. -
What flange standards does this wafer valve fit?
The valve is designed to fit between flanges conforming to common standards such as ANSI, JIS, or DIN. The exact flange face dimensions (e.g., raised face, flat face) and bolt hole patterns should be confirmed based on your piping specifications. -
Do you provide testing certificates for marine valves?
As an ISO9001 certified manufacturer, we conduct rigorous quality checks. Specific testing reports or certificates (like pressure test reports) can be provided upon request to meet project or regulatory documentation requirements.
