Hold All the Aces: the advantages of safety valve industry in China

Through the efforts of domestic safety valve companies in the technology, product quality and service have made no small achievement, domestic safety valve basically meet the domestic needs of the market. But on the current status quo in terms of China’s valve industry, on the road to enter the international market is full of obstacles, have yet to continue to improve.

After 20 years, in particular, combination of joint efforts in recent years, scientific research, design, manufacturing and user, joint research has been fruitful. “Natural Gas”, “South”, “Three Gorges Project,” one million kilowatts of nuclear power generating units, one million tons ethylene renovation project, supercritical and ultra supercritical thermal power units, oil and gas pipeline transportation, coal chemical industry, metallurgy, power station and other areas, in addition to a small amount of high-parameter safety valve and relief valve to be imported to achieve localization of the valve, thus changing the major equipment critical valves subject to long-term foreign situation. 

With the improvement of industrial technology, the demand for high-performance valve device continue to strengthen our country is a transition from an agricultural to an industrial world powers, with the huge demand for the industrial market, which has attracted many foreign companies stationed the strengthening of international trade, domestic valve market saturation.
More things the China Manufacturers must do is to learn advanced foreign technology, expertise, technological innovation, science and technology development to promote the development of the safety valve industry in China.

What Adjustment Valve Products Need to Do In The Future?

Like other industries, under the depression of the world economic, valve products are facing to the huge “shuffle”. If enterprises want to survive from bad market environments, they need keep pace with the times to adjust strategy of valve development, operation and research.

The whole industry chain adjustment
As a mechanical device, Butterfly Valves production in the whole industry chain downstream, including steel, sealing materials, and machining industry level of development of technical data will have a major impact. Steel strength, ductility, corrosion resistant high-pressure direct impact on the valve, corrosion resistance; sealing material determines the production level of the applicable media and the valve can withstand the pressure; machining accuracy is affected sealant the valve head and valve seat seal level an important factor.
Enhancement on the degree of specialization
 As a general plumbing Ball Valve, are widely used in many fields, including water utilities, distribution network, petroleum, water treatment, and so many industries. As different industries, different conditions in the project, media, and other aspects of the different sealing conditions, type of valve equipment, materials, pressure rating, etc. are not the same technical requirements, which also caused a valve device for different industries further market segmentation.

Vigorously Improving the High-End Cutting Products Market, China Have Achieved Remarkable Results

Although the China domestic tool market share of 2/3 occupy the leading position of the tool consumer market in China, but high-end domestic cutters stand for modern and efficient tool are only 20 billion, while most of 11 billion Yuan imports cutter tools are high-end tool. This should take the domestic tool companies into account. 

In recent years, our high-end manufacturing technology development brings new requirements to cutter tool. For example, automotive tool must have high efficiency, high stability and special characteristics. While forward as the car industry continues to evolvement, new requirements emerged. From the technical point of view, there are overloaded, complex, specialized, standardized, and high-speed and trend of diversification of species. With titanium, high temperature alloy processing material widely used in aerospace manufacturing, and how to the correct choice, how to rational use of the tool for efficient high-quality cutting has become a very important industry topic.

In fact, the import tool is basically accounted for the high-end users of the machining industry, especially in the automotive engine manufacturing plant, aircraft engine manufacturing enterprises processing plant or turbine manufacturing plant, high efficiency, high-precision machining tool is almost the monopolized by import tool. It is difficult to see the trace of the domestic cutting machine. China cutting machine is mostly used in the customer base, low requirements, such as agricultural machinery, motorcycles, agricultural vehicles, machinery and middle and low mechanical manufacturing industry.

Moreover, manufacturing, extensive development led to the development of machine tools and tool is extremely uneven, statistics show that the developed countries CNC machine and tool consumption ratio of 2:1. The traditional tools of market demand for long-term high, and this is an important reason for many tool companies do not want to enter the production of advanced and efficient tool.

Meanwhile, we must face up to the gap between the tool enterprises and foreign enterprises, including the underlying technology, innovation, promotion capacity and service capabilities. User needs and tool companies should be become an innovation-led. The leading enterprises in the field of technology should play a good job in leading and exemplary role. However, the key enterprises and excellent private enterprises take a very encouraging step in the domestic part in the development of modern and efficient tool. These enterprises pay attention to technological progress, the service first and achieved remarkable results in the relevant fields.
