2020-02-08

In recent years, as the market economy of gate valves has continued to evolve and change, China’s domestic gate valve market has also experienced fluctuations. The economic market has never been particularly stable—both domestic and international conditions have been similarly volatile—and the flanged gate valve industry has seen a relative decline in exports. However, over the next 5 to 10 years, as China’s overall strength continues to grow and the upcoming G20 Summit (an international forum for economic cooperation) gets underway, the country’s overall economic level is expected to show an upward trend. At the same time, the mechanical gate valve industry will gradually begin to recover. In the coming years, according to analyses by industry experts, the development of the gate valve sector will increasingly focus on flanged gate valves—a major product category. Flanged gate...

　　In recent years, as the market economy of gate valves has continued to evolve and change, China’s domestic gate valve market has also experienced fluctuations. The economic landscape has never been particularly stable—both domestically and internationally—and as a result, the flanged gate valve industry has seen a relative decline in exports. However, over the next 5 to 10 years, with the overall strengthening of China’s national power and the upcoming G20 Summit (an international forum for economic cooperation), the country’s overall economic level is expected to show an upward trend. At the same time, the mechanical gate valve industry will gradually begin to recover. In the coming years, according to analyses by industry experts, the development of the gate valve sector will increasingly favor flanged gate valves—their dominant product category. A flanged gate valve is a type of valve that uses a sphere with a circular passage as its closing member; the sphere rotates around a shaft to perform the opening and closing action. The closing member of a gate valve is a perforated sphere that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the flow channel, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the passage. Gate valves are primarily used for opening and closing pipelines and equipment media. Flanged gate valves come in a relatively diverse range of types. By structural form, gate valves can be classified into floating gate valves, fixed gate valves, resilient gate valves, and oil-sealed gate valves. By channel configuration, they can be further divided into straight-through, angle-type, and three-way types; among these, the three-way type can be further categorized into T-shaped and L-shaped designs. By connection method, gate valves can be connected via threaded joints, flange connections, or welding. By actuation method, they can include stainless steel pneumatic gate valves, stainless steel electric gate valves, and manual gate valves.
