CB/T3594-94 Marine Float Air Cap, Cast Iron/Bronze, DN50-DN200, Flanged, Anti-Corrosion, CCS DNV Approved
Product Spotlights
Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd., established in 2016 with an annual export value of US$1–1.5 million, is proud to present the CB/T3594-94 Marine Float Air Cap — a robust and reliable solution for marine ventilation systems. Manufactured in cast iron or bronze, these flanged air caps are designed to withstand harsh marine environments while providing efficient air release and vacuum protection. With sizes ranging from DN50 to DN200 and approvals from CCS and DNV, this product meets the highest industry standards for safety and durability.
Our air caps are engineered to prevent overpressure and vacuum damage in shipboard tanks, pipelines, and bilge systems. The float mechanism automatically closes when the liquid level rises, preventing spillage and contamination. The flanged connection ensures easy installation and a secure seal, while the anti-corrosion coating (available upon request) extends service life even in saltwater conditions. Backed by our ISO9001-certified production facility in Shanghai, China, each unit undergoes rigorous testing before shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between cast iron and bronze air caps? — Cast iron is more economical and suitable for general marine use, while bronze offers superior corrosion resistance in aggressive environments like chemical tanks or saltwater. Both are available under the same standard.
- Can I get a custom size between DN50 and DN200? — Yes, we can produce intermediate sizes (e.g., DN65, DN125) upon request. Please contact us with your specific requirements.
- Are these air caps suitable for high-pressure systems? — The standard design works up to 0.6 MPa. For higher pressures, we can customize the flange thickness and materials. Please consult our engineers.
- Do you provide certificates of material and pressure test? — Yes, we provide material certificates (MTC) and hydrostatic test reports upon request at no extra charge.
- What is the lead time for an order? — For standard sizes (DN50–DN200 in cast iron), lead time is typically 15–20 working days. Bronze or custom orders may take 25–30 days.
- How do I install the air cap? — Simply bolt the flanged air cap onto the tank's vent pipe using a gasket. Ensure the float is free to move vertically. No special tools are needed.
- Can the air cap be used in both horizontal and vertical positions? — It is designed for vertical installation (float vertical). For horizontal mounting, please advise so we can adapt the internal mechanism.
- What is the warranty period? — We offer a 12-month warranty from the date of shipment against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty is available upon request.
