From global financial crisis a few years ago to later upturn, and the economic rise up now, economic changes also cause the different growth for forged steel ball valves in valve industry. Why can common forged steel ball valves make traditional valve industry innovate?
The reason of forged steel high pressure ball valve fluctuate valve industry
The development of traditional forged steel ball valve has been in a relatively modest period through the first few years ago. Speaking of production processes, the manufacturing technology of forged steel ball valve has fell behind stainless steel ball valve. And about oversea output, the annual average foreign output of Chinese forged steel ball valve is 300 million US dollars, while stainless steel ball valves can reach 500 million US dollars.
Forged steel ball valve classify into low pressure forged steel ball valve and high pressure forged steel ball valve. High pressure forged steel ball valve is based on the users' requirement--to meet the need of the cracking of curing application under sulfide environment, so procedures of design, material selecting, manufacturing, test, surface treatment and paint for this series of high pressure forged steel ball
valves are seriously carried out according to the standard of National Association of Corrosion Engineers. The series of ball valves are not only select materials from wide range and trims are used nickel plated 316, seal with a special polymer material. All of that made the valves have advantages of anti corrosion, sulfide, fireproofing, anti-static, good sealing performance, which can be used in a wide range of pressure and temperature, this kind of valve was equipped with full bore and reducer and different kinds of driving devices.
The medium which is remained in the center of the valve boost pressure because of temperature variation, medium pressure pushes the valve seat from the ball in order to release pressure automatic. After releasing the pressure, the valve seat will automatic reset natural gas extraction and transport systems.
Forged steel high pressure ball valve would occupy the leading position in the changing of future valve market because of its goods characteristics and application range. Experts predict that the forged steel ball valve would take 70-80% market share of traditional valve industry in 2025. New forged steel ball valve will appear constantly, even ahead of other ball valve products domestic and aboard.
