Electric valve industry ushered in an unprecedented market

The electric valve industry has entered an unprecedented market.

In recent years, with the development of mechatronics, electric valves, an important mechanical product, have seen an unprecedented market growth. Electric valves are more energy-saving, safe, and reliable compared to traditional valves (manual valves, pneumatic valves). In today's high demand for environmental protection and safety, electric valves are indispensable. The market demand for electric valves is also increasing. Electric valves are widely used in various fields such as petroleum, chemical, electric power, nuclear energy, metallurgy, shipping, light industry, food, municipal, and others. In terms of the product itself, motorized valves offer advantages such as easy assembly, low failure rate, and meeting the automation needs of the industry, making them a more cost-effective choice. Unlike traditional pneumatic valves that require piping, solenoid valves, and compressors, motorized valves are motor-driven, easy to install, save time, and can be installed with the factory's original self-control line, saving additional costs.

In addition, the motor-driven way to open and close the smoother, without the shortcomings of the instantaneous impulse is too large, the failure rate can be greatly reduced. The petrochemical industry mainly adopts API standard gate, globe and check valves; the power sector mainly adopts high-temperature pressure gate, globe, check and safety valves for power stations and a part of low-pressure butterfly valves and gate valves for water supply and drainage valves; the chemical industry mainly adopts stainless steel gate, globe and check valves. Metallurgical industry mainly uses low-pressure large diameter butterfly valves, oxygen globe valves and oxygen ball valves; urban construction sector mainly uses low-pressure valves, such as urban water mains mainly used in large-diameter gate valves, building construction mainly used in the middle of the line butterfly valves, urban heating mainly used in the metal-sealed butterfly valves, etc.; oil pipeline mainly used flat gate valves and ball valves; pharmaceutical industry mainly used in the stainless steel ball valves; the food industry mainly uses Stainless steel ball valves are mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry; the food industry mainly uses stainless steel ball valves.

Electric valve is a new species in the valve industry, so the market prospects for electric valves are very broad. Casting enterprises should learn more about this industry in order to provide casting parts for the emerging electric valve industry, driving the development of the casting industry to gain new development momentum. As the market shifts towards electric valve products, changes are also occurring accordingly. For example, with the shift in oil development to mainland and offshore oil fields, as well as the power industry transitioning from 300,000 kilowatts of thermal power to over 300,000 kilowatts of thermal power, hydropower, and nuclear power development, electric valve products should adjust their performance and parameters based on the changing field of equipment application. Urban construction systems will utilize a large number of low-pressure electric valves, transitioning towards environmentally friendly and energy-saving development. This means moving from the previous use of low-pressure iron gate valves to environmentally friendly rubber plate valves, balancing valves, metal-sealed butterfly valves, and centerline sealed butterfly valves. Oil and gas transmission projects are moving towards pipeline direction, requiring a significant number of flat plate gate valves and ball valves. With the construction of power stations on a large scale, there is a need for large diameter and high-pressure safety valves, pressure reducing valves, as well as fast opening and closing electric valves. For projects requiring complete sets, the trend is towards electric valve manufacturers providing a variety of varieties and specifications.

Future electric valves are moving towards high technology content, high parameters, strong corrosion resistance, and high life expectancy with the continuous development of science and technology in the market.
