As a leading manufacturer with a strong commitment to quality and safety, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our Fire Safe API 609 Certified Marine Butterfly Valve. Engineered specifically for the demanding environments of petrochemical platforms and marine applications, this valve represents the culmination of advanced engineering and stringent quality control. Established in 2016 and backed by ISO9001 certification, our company leverages years of expertise to deliver valves that ensure operational integrity, enhance safety protocols, and provide reliable performance in critical fire-risk zones. This product is a direct response to the industry's need for robust, certified flow control solutions that can withstand extreme conditions.
Our Fire Safe API 609 Butterfly Valve is designed to offer superior sealing and durability. The core of its performance lies in its fire-safe design, which incorporates a secondary metal seal. In the event of a fire that damages the primary soft seat (typically PTFE), the metal-to-metal seal engages, maintaining valve closure and preventing catastrophic fluid release. This feature is critical for safeguarding personnel, assets, and the environment on offshore platforms.
Key Technical Specifications & Advantages:
- API 609 Certification: Compliance with API Standard 609 for butterfly valves ensures the valve meets rigorous industry requirements for design, materials, testing, and fire safety.
- Robust Construction: Available in various body materials like ductile iron, cast steel, and stainless steel to suit specific corrosion and pressure needs.
- Bi-directional Sealing: Provides effective shut-off in both flow directions, a crucial feature for many pipeline configurations.
- Low Operating Torque: The efficient disc design reduces the torque required for operation, allowing for smaller, more cost-effective actuators.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: Compared to gate or globe valves, the butterfly valve offers significant space and weight savings, ideal for space-constrained offshore installations.
- Versatile Actuation Options: Can be operated manually via lever or gearbox, or automated with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators for remote control and integration into SCADA systems.
The table below outlines some standard configurations and parameters:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Fire Safe Test Standard | API 607 / API 6FA / ISO 10497 |
| Standard Pressure Class | PN16, Class 150 |
| Standard Size Range | DN50 to DN600 (2" to 24") |
| Standard Seat Material | PTFE (Primary), Metal (Secondary Fire Seal) |
| Leakage Class (Soft Seat) | Class VI (Bubble-tight) |
| Face-to-Face Dimensions | Per API 609 / ISO 5752 |
For clients in the petrochemical and marine sectors, the benefits are substantial. This valve minimizes downtime risk by providing a failsafe during fire events, helps in complying with strict international safety regulations, and reduces long-term maintenance costs due to its durable construction. Its adaptability to various media—including water, oil, gas, and certain chemicals—makes it a versatile choice for multiple services on a platform, from cooling water lines to hydrocarbon processing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What exactly does "API 609 Certified" mean for this butterfly valve?
A: API 609 is an American Petroleum Institute standard specifically for butterfly valves. Certification means the valve's design, materials, pressure rating, fire testing, and dimensions have been verified to comply with this rigorous industry benchmark, ensuring reliability for oil, gas, and petrochemical applications. -
Q: How does the fire-safe mechanism work in an emergency?
A: The valve features a primary soft seat (e.g., PTFE) for bubble-tight shut-off under normal conditions. Encapsulating this is a secondary metal seat. If fire destroys the soft seat, the metal components expand and engage, creating a metal-to-metal seal that maintains closure and prevents fluid leakage. -
Q: Is this valve suitable for seawater service on offshore platforms?
A: Yes, but material selection is key. While standard models may use ductile iron with coatings, we highly recommend specifying stainless steel (e.g., 316 SS) for the body, disc, and stem to ensure superior corrosion resistance in harsh marine environments. -
Q: Can this valve be automated for remote operation?
A> Absolutely. The valve is designed to be compatible with a wide range of pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric actuators. We can supply the valve as a complete actuated package tailored to your control system requirements. -
Q: What are the available connection types and pressure ratings?
A: Standard connections include wafer and lug styles for easy installation between flanges. Double flanged ends are also optional. Common pressure ratings are PN10/16 (Class 150), with higher classes like PN25/40 (Class 300) available upon request. -
Q: What is the lead time for an order of these valves?
A> Lead times vary based on order quantity, size, material, and actuation requirements. For standard configurations, we typically maintain inventory or offer competitive production schedules. Please contact our sales team with your specifications for an accurate delivery estimate. -
Q: Do you provide documentation like test reports and certification?
A: Yes. Along with the product, we provide essential documentation, including material certificates, factory test reports (for pressure and operation), and a certificate of conformity stating compliance with API 609 and fire-safe standards. -
Q: Are custom modifications or special coatings available?
A: Yes, as a manufacturer, we offer customization. This can include special epoxy or paint coatings for corrosion protection, different trim materials, extended stems, locking devices, or modifications to meet specific project standards.
