Product Spotlights
Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. (established in 2016) is proud to offer a high-performance Marine Check Valve with Counterweight, designed specifically for demanding shipboard and offshore applications. With a robust cast steel body, a wide size range from DN50 to DN300, and pressure ratings from PN1.0 to PN4.0 MPa, this valve ensures reliable backflow prevention even under severe operating conditions. Each valve carries CCS Type Approval, guaranteeing compliance with international marine standards. As an ISO9001 certified manufacturer exporting over US$1 million annually to markets across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, we combine engineering excellence with global service support.
Our counterweight check valve excels in minimizing water hammer, reducing disc slamming, and providing a tight seal against reverse flow. The added counterweight mechanism ensures smooth and quiet closure, making it ideal for ballast systems, cooling water lines, fire-fighting piping, and other marine fluid systems. Below, you will find detailed technical characteristics, parameter tables, and benefits that make this valve a trusted choice for shipbuilders and offshore engineers worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the advantage of a counterweight check valve over a standard swing check valve?
A: The counterweight provides additional closing force, allowing the valve to close faster and more smoothly, which reduces water hammer and disc slamming. This is especially beneficial in systems with frequent flow changes, such as ballast or cooling circuits. -
Q: Can this valve be installed vertically?
A: Yes, with an optional spring-assist mechanism, the valve can function in vertical pipes (flow direction upward). For horizontal installations, standard counterweight configuration works optimally. -
Q: Does the CCS Type Approval cover all sizes from DN50 to DN300?
A: Yes, the entire range DN50–DN300 is covered under our CCS type approval certificate. Each valve is marked accordingly, and we can provide a copy of the certificate upon request. -
Q: What is the maximum working temperature?
A: The standard design allows temperatures from -29°C to +425°C. For higher temperatures, special materials (e.g., alloy steel) can be used—please contact our sales team. -
Q: Is the counterweight adjustable?
A: Yes, the weight can be fine-tuned by adding or removing weight segments to match system requirements. This adjustment is typically done during commissioning. -
Q: What face-to-face dimensions do you follow?
A: We manufacture according to GB/T 12221 (equivalent to API 594 or BS 1868). Custom lengths are available upon request. -
Q: Do you provide spare parts such as seats, discs, or counterweights?
A: Absolutely. We keep a stock of common spare parts for quick delivery. For after-sales support, please provide the valve serial number for accurate matching. -
Q: What is the lead time for a standard order?
A: For DN50–DN200 sizes in PN16 or PN25, the typical lead time is 30–45 days. Larger sizes or special materials may require 50–60 days. We can expedite upon request.
