Now that the machinery industry is developing more and more rapidly, as the valve in the industry is no exception, we all know that the valve industry is an important branch of our general machinery. Its products are used as key equipment for fluid control and are widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, urban construction, and environmental protection industries. At present, the valve production industry is in a very favorable development opportunity. The reason for this is as follows. The following is a brief discussion on the reasons for the development of the valve and its future development prospects. This is because:

Seizing the Strategic Opportunity of WTO With the entry of WTO, the reduction of international trade threshold and the adjustment of product structure by developed countries, China is gradually becoming the largest processing factory in the world. The development of valve products is facing greater development. space. How to seize this strategic opportunity and accelerate the development of the valve industry. The author believes that we must do a good job from the following aspects:

1. Actively promote the joint reorganization between enterprises and build a batch of enterprise groups with large scale on the scale as soon as possible. The valve industry currently has about 5,000 production companies. There are only 7 companies with annual sales revenue of more than 50 million yuan, 3 companies with more than one billion yuan, and 200 million yuan or less. The domestic market share of only one company in the nuclear Suval valve is more than 2% and the rest is below 1%. This kind of company's scale is difficult to produce a shock in the market, and it is even more difficult to compete with internationally renowned companies in the same industry. To change this situation as soon as possible, in addition to the growth factors of the company itself, the most effective method is to achieve the expansion of the company's capital through the combination, merger, and reorganization of enterprises to further expand market share and remain undefeated in the competition.

This is a relatively popular practice in the current international economic field and is also a directional issue in the development of the valve industry in the future. In this issue, we must emancipate our minds and break the regional boundaries in accordance with the requirements of the 16th National Congress of the People's Republic of China for "new breakthroughs in reform and new ideas for development." Break the boundaries of ownership, and break the boundaries of traditional professional division of labor. As long as there is a possibility of alliance between enterprises, they can boldly try to do it, and use 3-5 years to strive to create a number of enterprise groups with output value exceeding 500 million to 1 billion yuan.

2. We must pay attention to the adjustment of product structure, be bold in technological innovation, and research and develop products with high added value and leading international standards. China's valve industry has now produced more than a dozen major products. Such as gate valve, globe valve, ball valve, butterfly valve, safety valve, check valve, throttle valve, plug valve, pressure reducing valve, diaphragm valve, trap valve, emergency shut-off valve, etc., the maximum operating temperature is 570°C, the lowest is -196°C. The highest pressure 600MPa, the maximum diameter of 5350MM. Although these products have effectively supported domestic economic construction, we should be soberly aware that most of our products are of general technical content or labor-intensive products, and rarely have world leading standards.

Recently, the bidding of the West-East Gas Pipeline was a regrettable fact that all of our valve companies were defeated. Painful thinking. In order to revitalize the valve industry, the national industry must implement technological innovation and adjust the product structure. It is imperative to develop and develop valve products with high technological content and high international value for labor added value, such as control valves and automatic valve control valves. Combine flow wide, three-way diverter valve, safety valve; ball valve metal hard seal all welding, high-parameter large-diameter valve; and power plant supercritical C12? A alloy steel valve.
