Plumbing valves mainly include radiator thermostats, gate valves, globe valves, low-pressure valves, etc. In terms of the entire valve market, valves are mainly based on the construction of engineering projects, and their largest users are urban construction departments, petrochemical industry, power department, metallurgical department, chemical industry, etc.
Of course, different industries and different departments have different valve types. For example, the power department mainly uses high-temperature pressure gate valves, check valves and safety valves for power stations, as well as low-pressure butterfly valves and gate valves for some water supply and drainage valves; the metallurgical industry mainly uses low-pressure large-diameter valves, oxygen stop valves and oxygen ball valves; The urban construction department mainly uses low-pressure valves. For example, large-diameter gate valves are mainly used for urban water pipelines, mid-line butterfly valves are mainly used for building and apartment construction, and metal sealed butterfly valves are mainly used for urban heating. Regarding the future market trends of valves, some experts have made the following analysis:
1. The low-pressure valves used in urban construction systems should be developed towards environmentally friendly and energy-saving types, gradually transitioning from the low-pressure iron gate valves used in the past to environmentally friendly rubber plates, balance valves, metal sealed butterfly valves and neutral sealed butterfly valves;
2. As the development of the petroleum industry shifts to inland oil fields and offshore oil fields, and the power industry develops from thermal power below 300,000 kilowatts to thermal power above 300,000 kilowatts, hydropower and nuclear power, valve products should also change their performance and parameters accordingly according to changes in equipment application fields;
3. The construction of power stations is developing towards large-scale development, so large-diameter and high-pressure safety valves and pressure relief valves are needed, as well as fast opening and closing valves;
4. The other side of energy development is energy conservation. Therefore, from the perspective of energy conservation, it is necessary to develop steam traps and develop towards high parameters of subcritical and supercritical;
Since the users of the valve are relatively fixed, their future market trends and trends will also change with the reform and development of the user industry, and also to better meet the needs of customers.
