Marine Butterfly Valve Manufacturer Compliant With DNV, LR, and ABS Standards
Product Spotlights
As a professional manufacturer specializing in industrial valves since 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve is proud to introduce our high-performance marine butterfly valves. Engineered specifically for the demanding conditions of maritime applications, our valves are designed to provide reliable flow control for seawater, ballast, firefighting, and fuel systems. With an annual export value demonstrating our global reach and adherence to ISO9001 quality management systems, we ensure every valve meets the stringent requirements of classification societies like DNV, LR, and ABS, offering shipbuilders and shipowners a dependable solution for their critical operations.
Our marine butterfly valves are constructed to withstand corrosive seawater environments and ensure long-term, maintenance-free service. Key features include:
- Robust Construction: The valve body is manufactured from high-grade materials such as cast iron with epoxy coating, ductile iron, or stainless steel (316/316L), providing excellent resistance to seawater corrosion and mechanical stress.
- Superior Seal Integrity: The disc is precision-machined and paired with a resilient seat made from EPDM, NBR, or Viton, ensuring a bubble-tight seal and preventing leakage even under high-pressure differentials.
- Low Torque Operation: The streamlined disc design and low-friction seat material result in exceptionally low operating torque, allowing for easier manual operation with levers or gearboxes and reducing the size requirement for actuators.
- Versatile Actuation Options: Available in manual (lever, gear), electric, and pneumatic actuated versions to suit any level of automation required for onboard systems.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: The wafer-style design offers significant space and weight savings compared to gate valves, a critical advantage in ship design where space and weight are at a premium.
- Bi-Directional Flow: Designed for reliable shut-off in both flow directions, providing flexibility in piping system layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the main difference between a standard industrial butterfly valve and your marine-grade version?
A: Marine butterfly valves are specifically engineered with materials and coatings to resist saltwater corrosion. They undergo more rigorous testing and must be certified by classification societies (DNV, LR, ABS) to ensure reliability in critical shipboard systems where failure is not an option. -
Q: Can you provide valves with specific flange standards, such as JIS or ANSI?
A: Yes, we can. Our valves can be manufactured with flange drillings to match ISO, ANSI, JIS, DIN, and other international standards. Please specify your required standard when inquiring. -
Q: Are electric or pneumatic actuators available for remote operation?
A: Absolutely. We offer a range of actuation solutions, including electric and pneumatic actuators from reputable brands, which can be pre-assembled and tested at our factory for a complete package. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for an order of DN200 marine butterfly valves?
A: Lead times vary based on order quantity, material specification, and actuation requirements. For standard configurations, we often have stock or can produce within 4-6 weeks. We provide accurate lead times with every quotation. -
Q: Do your valves come with full certification documentation?
A: Yes. Each batch of marine valves supplied against a classification society order includes the necessary material certificates, test reports (pressure test, seat leakage), and certification as required by DNV, LR, ABS, or other specified bodies. -
Q: How do I select the appropriate seat material (EPDM, NBR, Viton) for my application?
A: The selection depends on the fluid media and temperature. EPDM is suitable for seawater and hot water, NBR for oils and fuels, and Viton (FKM) for more aggressive chemicals and higher temperatures. Our technical team can assist you in making the correct choice. -
Q: What is your warranty policy for these valves?
A: We offer a standard warranty against manufacturing defects. The specific warranty period and terms are provided with our commercial offer and are based on the application and operating conditions. -
Q: Can you provide custom coatings or special material grades upon request?
A: Yes, we have the capability to accommodate special requests such as specific epoxy coating thicknesses, exotic alloys, or other customizations. These are evaluated on a project-by-project basis.
