Present Situation of Valve and Its Development Trend - 2013-06-21 15:03:06
After decades of development, Chinese valve industry has made great progress. Current valve industry has provided the user departments with many types of valves. The valve is a low margin product. The market competition is very intense. Valve in the water treatment industry has large volume of use. The industry mainly uses the low-pressure valve products, such as butterfly valve, Soft Seated Butterfly Valve and check valve. Chinese gate valve market prices are relatively stable. Although the price is slightly lowered every year, the range is very small. With nearly ten years' development, under the leading of some gate valve manufacturers, the gate valve industry has apparent progress and the achievement is striking. These achievements are as follows. Firstly, manufacturing standard continues to be improved. Secondly, the industry has cultured a batch of enterprises which have certain technical strength. These enterprises have considerable research and development strength and the capital strength is also relatively strong. In fierce competition market, they can occupy a space. Finally, the development of new products has made a great breakthrough. Chinese gate valve manufacturer has been able to produce high performance and high quality Forged Steel Flanged Gate Valve, especially some new products have reached or been close to the world advanced level. But at present, compared with the developed countries, the overall level of the domestic valve technology still has a certain gap. Most of the domestic enterprises produce only low technical and low-end products with less added valve. New product development only makes some improvement on the basis of the original product or copies directly similar foreign products. Enterprises lack the core technologies of independent intellectual property rights and these high-end products that have international competitiveness. Research and development power of the valve industry is not strong, and valve manufacturer doesn't pay attention to the research and development of the new products. Research and development of the valve mainly depends on the research institute. In order to overcome these problems, the valve industry begins to change the original development mode. Valve products develop towards the direction of high technology content, high parameter, corrosion resistance and long-life. Chinese development trend is as follows. Firstly, because the construction of the valve industry develops towards large scale, the industry needs the large caliber and high pressure safety valve. Secondly, because the development direction of the energy is energy saving, the industry needs to develop the steam valve. And it develops towards the direction of the subcritical and supercritical parameters. Thirdly, valve develops towards the direction of the multiple varieties and multiple specifications. With the continuous improvement of the valve technology, the prospect of Chinese valve industry will be brighter.
