As a professional valve manufacturer with ISO9001 certification and a strong export presence, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to introduce our specialized Low Torque Operation Butterfly Valve. Engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) crude oil transfer lines, this valve is designed to ensure reliable, efficient, and safe fluid control in critical offshore and onshore applications. Our years of experience serving global markets, including North America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, have culminated in a product that addresses the core challenges of low-pressure drop, corrosion resistance, and operational ease in harsh marine environments.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Optimized Low Torque Design: The disc profile, stem, and bearing arrangement are precision-engineered to minimize friction, significantly reducing the torque required for operation. This translates to smaller, more cost-effective actuators, lower energy consumption for automated systems, and easier manual handling.
- Superior Sealing Performance: Available with a range of seat materials including resilient PTFE/EPDM for tight shut-off or metal seats (Stainless Steel/Duplex) for high-temperature and abrasive service, ensuring zero leakage and long service life even with crude oil containing sand or other particulates.
- Robust Construction for Harsh Service: The valve body and components are manufactured from materials like Carbon Steel WCB, Stainless Steel 316/316L, or Duplex/Super Duplex steels, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, erosion, and the stresses of offshore operation.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: The wafer or lug-type design provides a space-saving and weight-saving solution compared to gate or globe valves, which is a critical advantage for FPSO topside modules where space and weight are at a premium.
- Versatile Actuation Options: Designed to be compatible with manual gear operators, electric actuators, and pneumatic actuators, allowing for seamless integration into existing control systems for remote or automated operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: Why is low torque operation specifically important for FPSO crude oil transfer lines?
A: FPSO operations often involve large-diameter pipelines. High operating torque would necessitate larger, heavier, and more expensive actuators, increasing topside weight and complexity. Low torque valves enable the use of more compact and economical actuation solutions, which is crucial for space-constrained offshore platforms. -
Q: What materials do you recommend for the valve body in seawater or corrosive crude service?
A: For highly corrosive environments, we typically recommend Stainless Steel 316/316L or Duplex/Super Duplex steels. The specific choice depends on the chloride content, temperature, and presence of H2S or CO2. Our engineering team can provide material selection guidance based on your service conditions. -
Q: Can this valve be automated, and what types of actuators are compatible?
A: Yes, it is designed for easy automation. The valve can be fitted with electric actuators (for precise control), pneumatic actuators (for quick operation), or hydraulic actuators. We can supply the valve as a complete package with the actuator of your choice. -
Q: Is a fire-safe version available for applications requiring this certification?
A: Yes, we offer fire-safe design options that are tested and compliant with industry standards such as API 607/API 6FA. This feature ensures the valve maintains its sealing integrity for a specified duration under fire conditions. -
Q: What is the typical delivery lead time for an order?
A: Lead times vary based on valve size, material, and quantity. Standard configurations typically have shorter lead times. We provide accurate delivery schedules upon receipt of your detailed inquiry and work closely with you to meet project timelines. -
Q: Do you provide technical support and documentation like datasheets and manuals?
A: Absolutely. We provide comprehensive technical datasheets, 2D/3D drawings, installation and maintenance manuals, and material certificates. Our technical team is available to support installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting. -
Q: How does the sealing performance hold up with crude oil that may contain sand or wax?
A: Our valves can be configured with abrasion-resistant seat materials or metal seats. The low-torque design also helps prevent particles from embedding in the seat. For waxy crude, we can advise on seat materials and design features to minimize sticking. -
Q: What are your main shipping terms and ports of shipment?
A: We operate under standard international trade terms (FOB, CIF, etc.). Our primary ports of shipment are Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Beijing, offering flexibility and efficiency for global logistics to our main markets worldwide.
