Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the working principle of this self-closing valve?
A: The valve automatically closes when the flow stops or reverses, using a spring-loaded disc or clapper mechanism. It prevents backflow and maintains pressure integrity in the ballast line. -
Q: Is this valve suitable for both saltwater and freshwater ballast systems?
A: Yes, the cast steel body with optional corrosion-resistant coating is designed for both saltwater and freshwater environments. -
Q: Can the valve be fitted with a manual override?
A: Yes, we can provide a manual lock-open or lock-close option upon request for maintenance or emergency situations. -
Q: What flange standards are available?
A: Standard flanges are ANSI B16.5 Class 150/300, but we can also supply DIN, JIS, or GB flanges as per your requirements. -
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: For standard sizes (DN50-DN300), lead time is 15–25 working days after order confirmation. Larger sizes may require 30–45 days. -
Q: Do you provide test certificates?
A: Yes, we provide material certificates, hydrostatic test reports, and ISO9001 certification upon request. -
Q: Can the valve be used in horizontal or vertical pipelines?
A: It is designed for horizontal installation, but vertical installation is possible with proper support and spring adjustment (consult our engineers). -
