Cast Steel Marine Flanged Butterfly Check Valve, DN50 to DN300, PN16 to PN40 Pressure Rating
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with ISO9001 certification, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to introduce our robust and reliable Cast Steel Marine Flanged Butterfly Check Valve. Designed specifically for demanding marine and offshore applications, this valve combines the strength of cast steel construction with the efficient flow control of a butterfly check mechanism. Engineered for sizes from DN50 to DN300 and pressure ratings from PN16 to PN40, our valve ensures dependable backflow prevention in critical shipboard systems, from bilge and ballast lines to cooling water and fuel oil services. We understand the uncompromising standards of the maritime industry, which is why every valve is manufactured with precision to deliver long service life and minimal maintenance, even in harsh saltwater environments.
Key Product Features and Technical Advantages:
- Rugged Cast Steel Construction: The valve body and disc are crafted from ASTM A216 WCB cast steel, offering superior mechanical strength, impact resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for marine use.
- Efficient Butterfly Check Design: The valve utilizes a swinging disc design that opens with forward flow and closes swiftly under reverse flow or zero-flow conditions, preventing water hammer and protecting pumps and equipment.
- Wide Pressure and Size Compatibility: Available in a comprehensive range from DN50 (2") to DN300 (12") and pressure classes PN16, PN25, and PN40, providing versatile solutions for various system requirements.
- Flanged Connection for Secure Installation: Features standard flanged ends (Raised Face or Flat Face) compliant with ANSI/ASME B16.5, DIN, or JIS standards, ensuring leak-proof, bolted connections for easy integration into existing piping.
- Durable and Flexible Sealing Options: The seat is available in NBR, EPDM, or PTFE materials, allowing selection based on fluid media (water, oil, seawater, chemicals) and operating temperature ranges.
- Low Pressure Drop and Compact Design: The streamlined internal geometry ensures minimal flow resistance, optimizing system efficiency. Its wafer or lug style body offers a space-saving design compared to traditional check valves.
- Marine-Grade Surface Treatment: Valves undergo specialized surface preparation and coating (such as epoxy paint) to enhance corrosion protection against salt spray and humid marine atmospheres.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the main advantage of a butterfly check valve over other types for marine use?
A: Butterfly check valves offer a compact, lightweight design with a low-pressure drop, which is crucial for space-constrained shipboard installations. Their simple swinging disc mechanism provides quick response to flow changes, effectively preventing backflow with minimal resistance to forward flow. -
Q: Can this valve be used with seawater?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for marine applications. When ordered with a cast steel body (WCB) with appropriate epoxy coating and an EPDM or PTFE seat, it provides excellent resistance to corrosion from seawater. Stainless steel options (316) offer even higher corrosion resistance. -
Q: What is the difference between wafer and lug style butterfly check valves?
A: A wafer-style valve is installed between two flanges using longer bolts that pass through both flanges. A lug-style valve has threaded inserts (lugs) on the valve body, allowing it to be bolted directly to each flange independently. The lug style is often preferred for end-of-line service or when a section of pipe needs to be removed without disassembling the entire line. -
Q: How do I select the correct pressure rating (PN16, PN25, or PN40)?
A: The pressure rating must equal or exceed the maximum working pressure of your piping system, including any potential pressure surges. PN16 is suitable for lower pressure services, while PN25 and PN40 are for higher pressure systems. Consult your system design specifications for the required class. -
Q: Are the flanges drilled to specific standards?
A: Yes. We can supply valves with flanges drilled to ANSI, DIN, JIS, or GB standards. Please specify your required flange standard and facing type (RF or FF) when inquiring or placing an order to ensure compatibility with your existing piping. -
Q: What is the lead time for an order of DN150, PN25 valves?
A: Lead times vary based on order quantity and specific configuration (material, seat type). Standard configurations typically have shorter lead times. Please contact our sales team with your detailed requirements for an accurate production and delivery schedule. -
Q: Do you provide testing certificates for the valves?
A: Yes. Each valve undergoes hydrostatic shell and seat tests as per standard practice. Standard test reports are available. Additional certification, such as a material test report (MTR), can be provided upon request. -
Q: Is customization available for special applications?
A: We offer various customization options, including special coatings (like zinc-aluminum), different trim materials, extended stems, or locking devices. Please discuss your specific needs with our engineering team for feasible solutions.
