Marine Gate Valve With Bypass Valve, Includes Mill Test Report and Warranty
Product Spotlights
As a professional manufacturer with a strong presence in global maritime markets, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to offer our premium Marine Gate Valve with an integrated Bypass Valve. Engineered for reliability in demanding marine and offshore applications, this valve provides a critical solution for pressure equalization, system testing, and controlled drainage without the need to open the main valve. Backed by our ISO9001 certified quality management system and over eight years of industry expertise since our establishment in 2016, we deliver a product that combines robust construction with operational intelligence.
Our valve is designed to address the specific challenges faced in shipboard piping systems, offshore platforms, and coastal installations. The inclusion of a bypass valve is not an add-on but a core feature, enhancing safety and simplifying maintenance procedures. We understand that in marine environments, failure is not an option, which is why each valve is accompanied by a comprehensive Mill Test Report (MTR), providing full traceability of materials and manufacturing processes, and is supported by a solid warranty for your peace of mind.
Key Features & Technical Advantages:
- Integrated Bypass System: The smaller bypass valve allows for pressure equalization across the gate, reducing operating torque and wear on the main valve seat and disc. It enables safe system sampling, partial flow initiation, and line draining.
- Superior Sealing Performance: Utilizing advanced seat designs and materials, the valve ensures bubble-tight shut-off, critical for preventing seawater ingress or cargo loss.
- Robust Construction for Harsh Environments: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials like ASTM A216 WCB cast steel, CF8M stainless steel, or bronze, the valve withstands saline, humid, and high-pressure conditions.
- Flexible Operation: Available in manual (handwheel or lever), gear-operated, and automated (electric or pneumatic actuator) versions to suit various system requirements and space constraints.
- Comprehensive Documentation: Each valve ships with a Mill Test Report detailing chemical composition, mechanical properties, and non-destructive test results, ensuring full compliance with specified standards.
- Global Compliance: Designed to meet major international standards such as ANSI/ASME, API, DIN, JIS, and GB, facilitating installation in vessels and platforms worldwide.
The technical specifications can be customized to fit your project's exact needs. Below is a reference table for our standard range:
| Parameter | Specification Range |
|---|---|
| Size (Main Valve) | DN15 (1/2") to DN600 (24") |
| Pressure Class | Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500 (ANSI) |
| Body Material | Cast Steel, Stainless Steel 316/316L, Bronze, Duplex |
| Bypass Valve Size | Typically DN6 (1/4") to DN25 (1") |
| End Connection | Flanged (RF, RTJ), Threaded (NPT, BSP), Butt Weld |
| Temperature Range | -29°C to 425°C (-20°F to 800°F) depending on material |
| Face-to-Face | Compliant with ASME B16.10, DIN 3202, etc. |
Benefits for Your Operations:
- Enhanced Safety: The bypass allows for safe depressurization before main valve operation, protecting personnel and equipment.
- Reduced Maintenance & Extended Life: By equalizing pressure, operational stress on the gate and seat is minimized, leading to less frequent maintenance and a longer service life.
- Operational Flexibility: Enables system checks, minor flow adjustments, and draining without shutting down the entire line.
- Simplified Installation & Inventory: A single, integrated unit replaces the need for separate valves and piping for a bypass loop, saving space, weight, and installation time.
- Guaranteed Quality: The Mill Test Report provides verifiable proof of material integrity and manufacturing quality, which is often a mandatory requirement for marine classification societies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the primary purpose of the integrated bypass valve?
The bypass valve serves multiple functions: it allows for pressure equalization across the closed gate to reduce operating torque, enables safe draining or venting of the system, permits sampling of the medium, and can be used for low-flow circulation, all without operating the main valve. -
Are Mill Test Reports (MTRs) provided for every valve?
Yes. A comprehensive Mill Test Report, also known as a Material Test Report or Certificate of Conformance, is provided as standard for each valve. It details the material's chemical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and results of any non-destructive tests, ensuring full traceability. -
Can this valve be used for applications other than seawater?
Absolutely. While designed for marine corrosive environments, the choice of materials (like stainless steel 316, bronze, or duplex) makes it suitable for a wide range of fluids including oil, fuel, chemicals, steam, and compressed air in offshore, industrial, and power plant applications. -
What types of end connections are available?
We offer flanged ends (raised face or ring-type joint), threaded ends (NPT or BSP), and butt weld ends. The specific type and standards (ANSI, DIN, JIS) can be customized based on your piping system design. -
Is the bypass valve independently operable?
Yes. The bypass valve is a separate, smaller valve (typically a globe or needle valve) mounted on the valve body. It has its own operating mechanism (handwheel), allowing it to be opened or closed independently of the main gate valve's position. -
What does the warranty cover?
Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a specified period. The exact terms, including duration and coverage details, are provided with the commercial documentation and are designed to give you confidence in the product's durability. -
Can the valve be supplied with actuators?
Yes. We can provide electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators for remote or automated operation. The actuator can be fitted to both the main gate valve and, if required, to the bypass valve. -
Do you offer customization for specific project requirements?
As a manufacturer, we specialize in customization. We can adjust materials, pressure ratings, sizes, face-to-face dimensions, and coating specifications (like epoxy or galvanization) to meet the specific standards of marine classification societies or your engineering specifications.
