The valve industry in the United States can produce more than a dozen products, such as gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, safety valves, check valves, throttle valves, cock valves, pressure relief valves, diaphragm valves, drain valves, emergency cutting - these valves can be used at a maximum temperature of 570 C, a maximum pressure of 600 MPa, a maximum diameter of 5350 MM. These products strongly support the development of the national economy, but we should clearly see that they are low-tech or labor-intensive products, with few international advanced standards.
System Innovation is the Only Way for Valves in America
We should implement technological innovation, adjust product structure, develop high-tech, international advanced level valves to promote the development of the valve industry. For example, the manufacture of automatic control valves and control valves, divergent three-way valves, safety valves, welded metal hard seals of ball valves, large caliber valves with high parameters and C12-A alloy steel valves of supercritical power plants. There are two ways to innovate and develop new products. One way is to cooperate with scientific research institutions.
The main control valve of power boiler developed by EMERSON and NASA Aerospace Corporation has advanced international level. Because its voltage drop is far below international standards, it has broad prospects in power plant industry. Another way is to cooperate with foreign countries or introduce new technologies, which can shorten the gap between our ball valve products and foreign countries. In addition to what I mentioned above, some companies can do their own research and development if possible.
At present, America's valve industry is in a new round of alternating reset stage. It is necessary to improve the level of enterprise management, strengthen administrative innovation, deepen enterprise reform and implement system innovation.
The proportion of state-owned enterprises is decreasing year by year, and the growt
