Carbon Steel Mud Box
The carbon steel mud box is a specialized low-pressure coarse filtration device for ship bilge water systems. The main body is made of Q235-A carbon steel and hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection. It is suitable for seawater, freshwater, and bilge wastewater containing silt. The equipment is available in two structures: straight-through and angle type, and supports flange connections of multiple national standards.
Overview
Basic Technical Parameters
Main Body Material: Carbon steel Q235-A (Carbon steel body is generally hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection)
Filter Screen: Filter plates commonly use Q235-A or SUS304 stainless steel
Nominal Pressure: PN10/(5K/10K), low-pressure suction equipment
Nominal Diameter: DN40~DN250, mainstream DN50-250; available in straight-through and angle (right-angle) structures
Connection Type: Flange connection (Flange standards optional: CB/T, GB/T2501, JIS B2220, DIN German standard flange, ASME standard)
Applicable Media: Seawater, fresh water, ship bilge sewage, sewage containing silt
Product Performance Features
Coarse Filtration Protection: Intercepts cloth strips, cotton yarn, oil sludge, sediment, and solid debris, protecting the downstream bilge pump and pipelines from blockage and damage. It is a pipeline coarse filter.
Carbon Steel Body + Galvanized Corrosion Resistance: High-strength carbon steel with impact resistance; hot-dip galvanizing enhances resistance to seawater corrosion in marine environments, suitable for the humid and salty environment of ship engine rooms; lighter and more impact-resistant than cast iron.
Easy Maintenance: A quick-opening bolt cover at the top allows for easy removal of the filter plate for cleaning without disassembling the pipeline; a bottom plug allows for direct discharge of settled sludge, simplifying maintenance.
Low Flow Resistance: Large flow area minimizes pipeline pressure loss during filtration, ensuring adequate bilge water suction capacity.
Optional Types: Straight-through type and angle type (right-angle mud box) are available to accommodate different pipeline layouts in the engine room; OEM non-standard customized sizes and filter screen pore sizes are supported.
Applications and Scenarios
Core Application: Installed on the bilge water suction pipes of ship engine rooms and shaft tunnels, it serves as a pre-filter for the bilge water system, preventing solid impurities from entering the suction pipe and bilge pump, preventing pump impeller wear and pipe blockage, and ensuring the reliable operation of the bilge drainage system.
Supporting Systems: Ship bilge water system, seawater suction pipes, some ballast water, and fire-fighting water suction pipes.
Applicable Objects: All types of seagoing vessels, inland waterway vessels, and offshore platforms; suitable for new shipbuilding and ship repair and modification projects.
Structural Types
Angle Type Mud Box: Inlet and outlet are at a 90° right angle; most commonly used, suitable for right-angle bilge suction port pipe layouts, corresponding to CB/T3198 standard B/BS type.
Straight-through Mud Box: Inlet and outlet are arranged coaxially in a straight line; used for straight pipe sections
