Valves are indispensable fluid control equipment in various sectors of the national economy, such as petroleum, chemical, power station, long-distance pipeline, shipbuilding, nuclear industry, various low-temperature engineering, astronautics and marine oil extraction. After years of development, the number of valve enterprises in China ranks first in the world, with about 6,000 valve enterprises of various sizes, of which 900 have an annual output value of more than 5 million yuan.

      In China's current valve market, in addition to low-pressure valves to reach the level of the international market can accept, high-pressure valves still need to rely on imports. In the macroeconomic situation continues to look good, the majority of enterprises in the valve industry production and sales indicators have maintained rapid growth, but the impact of price wars, industry sales revenue and profits fell sharply over the same period last year. With the rebound of the world economy, the import and export of China's valve products have also increased, but because there is still a large gap in high-end technology compared with foreign manufacturers, for a period of time in the future, product technology will become a bottleneck that restricts the development of China's valve products.

      From the product situation, China's valve industry has been able to produce more than a dozen categories of products, such as gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, safety valves, pressure reducing valves, needle valves, regulating valves, diaphragm valves, butterfly valves, solenoid valves, traps, plunger valves, plug valves, forged steel valves, needle valves, instrument valves, level meters, flow meters, exhaust valves, flame arresters, knife gate valves, slurry valves, copper valves, balance valves. Stainless steel valves, fluorine lined rubber valves, pipe clamp valves, American standard valves, power station valves, breathing valves, hydraulic control valves, vacuum valves, discharge valves, pneumatic angle seat valves, insulation valves, filters, bottom valves, balancing valves, drain valves, etc., the highest use temperature of 570 ℃, the lowest -196 ℃, the highest pressure of 600MPa, the maximum diameter of 5350 mm. In addition, according to relevant department statistics, China's annual valve market turnover of up to 50 billion yuan, of which more than 10 billion yuan of the market is occupied by foreign valve companies.

      At present, China's valve industry still has some problems, such as China's valve enterprises are mainly low-level, small-scale, home-based enterprises. In the product, due to repeated investment, technology introduction is not enough, the leading products of China's valve enterprises are still low-quality mass products. At present, our enterprises produce a variety of valves generally have external leakage, internal leakage, poor quality of appearance, short life, inflexible operation and valve electric device and pneumatic device is not reliable and other shortcomings, some products are only equivalent to the international level in the early 1980s, some high-temperature and high-pressure and critical installations on the need for the valve is still dependent on imports. In addition, China's valve industry in the industrial structure, the industrial chain of the valve industry, as well as the degree of specialization of the industry with foreign enterprises there is a large gap.

      The reasons for the low quality of domestic valve products are: due to the rapid expansion of the market, the original state-run valve enterprises have been shut down and transferred, although a number of township enterprises developed rapidly, but due to the low starting point of township enterprises, the technical force is very weak, rudimentary equipment, most of the products are imitation production, especially the low pressure valves for water supply and drainage serious problems.

    But the above problems do not affect the future of China's valve industry's broad prospects. This is mainly due to the support of national policies and strong demand for valve products market, especially several century project "West-East gas transmission", "West-East electricity", "South-North water transfer" and other projects The start of the need for a large number of valve products supporting. In addition, China is facing the advent of the industrialization era, the petrochemical industry, power industry, metallurgical industry, chemical industry and urban construction and other large use of valves will enhance the demand for valve products. For example, the power industry "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period in the coal power units, large and medium-sized start-up projects require a total forecast of valves: the total demand for valves 153,000 tons, the average annual demand of 30,600 tons; total demand for valves 3.96 billion yuan, the average annual demand of 792 million yuan. In addition, China is gradually becoming the world's largest processing plant, the processing and production of valve products face greater room for development.

    This shows that as long as enterprises can seize the opportunity to strengthen R & D capabilities, and constantly improve the technological content of products and product quality, they can take the initiative in the fierce market competition.
