When it comes to the market trends of valve products, the future developing trends are expected as follows according to analysts.
First, as oil development is transferred from mainland oil fields to offshore oil fields, and the power industry is converted from thermal power under 300,000 kilowatts to hydropower and nuclear power over 300,000 kilowatts, products for device applications should accordingly change their performance and parameters, such as breathing valves, flame arresters, filters, pipes mirrors, etc.
Second, urban systems generally use a large number of low-pressure valves and tend to
environmentally friendly and energy-saving development. That means low-pressure iron gate valves used in past are gradually shifting to environment-friendly plastic sheet valves, balance valves, metal sealed
butterfly valves and middle sealing butterfly valves. Oil and gas projects are turning to pipeline direction, which requires a lot of flat
gate valves and
ball valves.
Third, the other side of energy development is energy saving. Thus, in terms of energy conservation, steam trap should be developed for
subcritical and supercritical high parameters.
Fourth, construction of power plants is becoming larger scale. So, besides large diameter and high pressure safety valves and pressure relief valves, quickly opening and closing valves are also required.
Fifth, valve supply should be developed from a single species to
multi-species and multi-standards to meet complete project demands. The trend that a project adopts valves from a single pump manufacturer is increasing.
