Product Spotlights
Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. has been a trusted manufacturer of industrial valves since 2016, with an annual export value of US$1 Million to US$1.5 Million. Our Horizontal Lift Check Valve for Marine Steam Lines, featuring an ASTM A216 WCB body, full bore design, and bolted cover, is engineered to deliver reliable, maintenance-friendly performance in demanding marine steam applications. Backed by ISO9001 certification, this valve ensures compliance with international quality standards while offering superior flow characteristics and durability.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material Excellence: Body and cover made from ASTM A216 WCB carbon steel, providing high strength and excellent corrosion resistance for steam service.
- Full Bore Design: Full bore configuration minimizes pressure drop and allows for easy pigging or cleaning, ensuring efficient flow in steam lines.
- Horizontal Lift Operation: The lift check mechanism ensures positive closure against backflow, with the disc guided by a precision-machined seat for reliable sealing.
- Bolted Cover: Bolted cover construction facilitates easy inspection and maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline.
- Pressure & Size Range: Available in DN50 to DN150 with pressure ratings from PN1.6 to PN6.4MPa, covering a wide range of marine steam system requirements.
- Flanged Connections: Standard flanged ends (RF or FF) comply with DIN/ANSI/BS standards, making installation straightforward.
- High Temperature Capability: Designed for steam lines, the valve can handle elevated temperatures typical in marine boiler systems (up to 350°C depending on pressure).
- Low Leakage: Metal-to-metal sealing ensures minimal leakage per API 598 criteria, with optional soft seals for enhanced tightness.
- Durable Trim: Internals (disc, seat) are made from 13Cr or equivalent stainless steel, resistant to erosion and wear.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between a lift check valve and a swing check valve?
A: A lift check valve uses a disc that moves vertically against the flow, ideal for horizontal piping and steam applications where backflow must be prevented quickly. Swing check valves use a hinged disc and are more suitable for low-pressure liquids. -
Q: Can this valve be installed vertically?
A: The standard design is for horizontal installation with the cover facing up. For vertical or sloped lines, consult our engineers for a tailored configuration. -
Q: What flange standards are available?
A: We supply flanges per DIN, ANSI 150/300, BS 4504, and other standards. Please specify your requirement when ordering. -
Q: Is the valve suitable for superheated steam?
A: Yes, the ASTM A216 WCB body and 13Cr trim can handle temperatures up to 350°C. For superheated steam exceeding this, we recommend upgrading the trim to stainless steel or Stellite. -
Q: What is the delivery time?
A: Typical lead time for standard sizes (DN50-DN150) is 15-25 working days. Larger quantities or special materials may require additional time. -
Q: Do you provide third-party inspection?
A: Yes, we can arrange inspection by classification societies (e.g., DNV, Lloyd's, BV) upon request. The cost depends on the scope. -
Q: How do I select the right pressure rating?
A: The pressure rating should match the maximum operating pressure of your steam line at the design temperature. Our technical team can help you choose PN1.6, PN2.5, PN4.0, or PN6.4 accordingly. -
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: We offer a 12-month warranty from the date of shipment covering manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available.
