Marine-Grade Butterfly Valve OEM Supplier Compliant With API 609 Standard
Product Spotlights
Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd is proud to present our Marine-Grade Butterfly Valve, designed and manufactured in strict compliance with the API 609 Standard. Since 2016, we have been a dedicated OEM supplier serving global maritime industries, offering valves that withstand harsh marine environments—such as seawater corrosion, high humidity, and continuous vibration. Our valves are engineered for reliability, durability, and optimal flow control, making them the preferred choice for shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and port facilities.
As a factory with ISO9001 certification and annual export value exceeding US$1 million, we guarantee consistent quality and on-time delivery. We understand the critical role of a butterfly valve in ship systems—from ballast water management to cooling water and fire-fighting. Every valve we produce undergoes rigorous testing to meet API 609 requirements, ensuring bubble-tight shut-off and long service life.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Marine-Grade Corrosion Resistance: Available in materials like duplex stainless steel, bronze, and EPDM liners specifically selected for seawater applications.
- API 609 Compliance: Our valves meet the dimensional and design requirements of API 609 for butterfly valves, ensuring interchangeability and performance.
- Bi-Directional Sealing: Achieves zero leakage at rated pressure, ideal for dead-end service and shut-off applications.
- Double Offset Design: Reduces wear on the seat, provides smoother operation, and extends valve life compared to conventional concentric designs.
- Wide Size & Pressure Range: Available from DN50 (2") up to DN1200 (48"), with pressure ratings PN10, PN16, Class 150, and Class 300.
- Multiple End Connections: Wafer type, lug type, and flanged ends to suit various piping systems.
- Various Actuation Options: Manual lever, worm gear, pneumatic actuator, or electric actuator—all customizable to your system requirements.
- Tested & Certified: Every valve is hydrostatically and pneumatically tested per API 598 standards.
