PipesTec General Manager Mrs. Vivian Chen was happy to received the Thanks Receipt from Mr. M.M.Russeldeen as followed:<br />
<blockquote>
	<p>
		<span style="color:#ff8c00;">Dear Mrs. Vivian,<br />
		<br />
		I arrived safely last afternoon from Malaysia. It was indeed an useful and promising trip to China to meet all of you thro&rsquo; the courtesy of Lynn. Your care and hospitality touched me so deeply that I&rsquo;m afraid whether I could ever match those sentiments in equal measure. Whilst I enjoyed every moment of my stay with your staff, I would be failing if I do not extend my SINCERE THANKS to the undernoted in particular.<br />
		<br />
		1. Mrs.Vivian :-&nbsp; It was so nice of you to have invited me to your residence for dinner and exchange pleasantries with you and your husband. I cherish that moment of sipping GINGER TEA in the balcony overlooking the rock and sharing our views of interest. My thanks and best wishes to you and your husband.<br />
		<br />
		2. Lynn :-&nbsp; For taking pains to be my host and ensuring that I was never left alone during my stay. Thank you so much for extending your kind courtesy.<br />
		<br />
		3. Scarlet :- Oh! The 01Million. Thanks so much for inviting me to be part of the &ldquo;Freshen up&rdquo; session with your staff at 10 am &amp; 4 pm and the time you spent in taking me on the pictorial tour of Koflow and making me feel at home with all those edible stuff neatly laid out on the table. I even brought home the packet of dried fruits you gave me. Sweet &amp; Sour to say and that would last in my&nbsp; memory for long. I wouldn&rsquo;t forget the trouble you took to cook for me at your boss&rsquo;s place. &ldquo;Our Government is very Rich&rdquo; still rings in my mind. Million Thanks to you.<br />
		<br />
		4. Kevin : Thanks alone is not enough to you for your logistics support and ensuring nothing went amiss in my schedule except of course, the Shanghai hotel booking. Not to worry for I didn&rsquo;t take it serious. I still have confidence in you. It&rsquo;s all in the game. So my sincere thanks to you.<br />
		<br />
		5. David &amp; Frank :- Silent operators yet their robustness touched me a lot. Thanks so much for your pleasant company.<br />
		<br />
		All in all, it was a wonderful association with all of you and it&rsquo;s my turn to support you with more orders for a lasting relationship to make way for more trips.<br />
		<br />
		SHEY SHEY!<br />
		<br />
		<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Blanks used in machining contain castings, forgings, profiles and welding parts. Different types of blanks and their accuracy, blankness and hardness have a direct impact on machining process. There are four factors we need to consider when selecting valve blanks:<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	<strong>1. Valve parts materials and the requirements of their organization and performance.</strong> Parts materials specified on the design drawing largely determine the kind of blank. For example, valve parts made of <a href="cast-iron-ball-valves.html">cast iron</a> must be produced by casting methods. For steel parts, we should consider the mechanical performance of materials when choosing blanks. For instance, parts for <a href="high-pressure-butterfly-valves.html">high-pressure valves</a> should be forging or welding parts to ensure good mechanical properties of materials.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	<strong>2. Structure shape and dimensions of valve parts.</strong> Structure switch of valve parts is an important factor affecting the choice of blanks. For example, valves with complex structure switches can be made of castings. For <a href="valves.html">large size valves</a>, sand castings can be applied. While small size ones should be adopted investment casting.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	<strong>3. The scale of production program.</strong> The greater the production program is, the better of economic results through high precision and high efficiency blank manufacturing will be.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	<strong>4. The condition of blank manufacturing.</strong> Choose blanks based on the equipment and technology level, and gradually adopt advanced manufacturing methods in consideration of the development prospects</div>

      <title><![CDATA[Installation Tips of Hangers in Large Boilers Pipeline]]></title>
      <link>news/press-releases/installation-tips-of-hangers-in-large-boilers-pipeline.html</link>
      <guid>news/press-releases/installation-tips-of-hangers-in-large-boilers-pipeline.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Pipe hangers play a role in supporting weight and maintaining spatial location of <a href="pipe.html">pipelines</a>, and have influences on cold and hot deformation and stress of various parts. Therefore, we should pay attention to the installation of pipe hangers.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	1. There is often a fixed bearing set in the pipe, which has the greatest force. Besides part of the pipe&rsquo;s weight, it also has to withstand the thrust, tension and torsion of pipeline when expansion and contraction. Bracket and clamp of fixed bearing should be in close contact with the pipe wall, letting the tube not rotate or move. The hanger between two fixed bearings should not hinder pipe&rsquo;s movement caused by changing temperature and weight.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	2. Hangers are generally used for horizontal pipe. Base plate (tube pillow) at bottom should be firmly connected with the pipe, so that it can move with the pipe. The sliding surface between base plate and lower support surface (platen) must be parallel, smooth, good contact and without hindrance. If you place a roller between them, it should also have good contact and flexible scroll.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	3. Spring hangers are generally used for pipes with large hot and cold difference and with several directions towards thermal placement. Specifications and compression springs must be consistent with the construction plans. The spring should be kept straight, not curved. There should be a sufficient distance between the spring and the wall for heat preservation. During the installation of a hanger and under cold state, it should be inclined toward the direction opposite to that of thermal state. The inclination angles of two states should be the same. The cantilevers that supporting hangers should be packed horizontally and the root structure must be firmly.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	4. If there is a large thermal displacement in high temperature and pressure pipeline, it should adopt a constant force hanger because the carrying capacity of constant force hangers does not change with the place of the lifting point. Therefore, when the pipe has thermal displacement, there won&rsquo;t be reallocating of load for each lifting point of <a href="products.html">pipe system</a>. As a result, the pipe system will not cause additional stress.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	5. When determining the position of each hanger, you should take the displacement that occurred between hot and cold states into account. Formally install the fixed bearing before <a href="cold-drawn-steel-tube.html">cold drawn</a> processing and preliminary install the rest hangers. Further adjust them after cold drawn processing. Adjust individual positions again after running hot state. Since the work status assumed in construction plans is not necessarily correspond with the actual status, it is required to inspect under running and correct according to the actual situation.<br />

The King Lear well was drilled in a water depth of 67m to a vertical depth of 5344m below sea level. Commenting on the discovery, Patrice de Vivi&egrave;s, Senior Vice President, Northern Europe, Total Exploration &amp; Production said: &ldquo;King Lear lies adjacent to the Ekofisk License and is also close to two blocks awarded to Total in the last APA Licensing round earlier this year, PL618 and PL619. This success confirms the deep gas/condensate prospectivity of the whole area, and we are working to drill a number of additional exploration wells on similar prospects in the next few years. Together with the existing Tommeliten discovery, this could lead to a new gas processing hub in the area, onstream before the end of this decade&rdquo;.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[PipesTec Industry News 26 June 2013.<br />
<br />
Mongolian oil trading and processing company, HBOil, has bought a 20% stake in North Korea&#39;s Sungri refinery. HBOil said that it plans to supply crude oil to the state-owned Sungri refinery for processing and then re-import the products to Mongolia.<br />
<br />
The refinery will start operations in around a year. &quot;There are certain risks, but other countries do business with North Korea so we are quite optimistic that the project will be successful&rdquo;, HBOil CEO Ulziisaikhan Khudree said in an interview.<br />
<br />
Mongolia maintains good relations with isolated North Korea. Ulaanbaatar offered to help broker a solution between the Koreas after Pyongyang said in March that it was in a state of war with the South. The North Korean ambassador to Mongolia, Hong Gyu, also asked Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj for food aid at a meeting in April. The company&#39;s turn to its isolated neighbour comes as Ulaanbaatar bids to reduce its reliance on fuel imports from Russia.<br />
<br />
Mongolia currently relies on oil products imports from Russia and China. Almost over 98% of its fuel comes from Russia. Not only is Mongolian oil production low, but the country lacks processing capacity. With domestic demand for fuel expected to grow strongly in the coming years as the population grows and economy expands, the need for greater diversity is growing. In May, the first fuel produced from oil extracted within Mongolia, Mongol 93, was placed on the market. The crude was exported to China for processing, and the resulting oil products were then re-imported.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	After a well-control incident, accompanying a rig fire, a <strong>relief well</strong> is about to be drilled with the purpose of securing a natural gas well on South Timbalier Block 220, and worker boarded the Hercules 265 jack up rig to install gas detectors and water jet fire monitors of high capacity, officials said.</div>
<div>
	The company, Walter Oil &amp; Gas Corp., has lost the control of Well A-3 when the work on a sidetrack well is completing. It stimulates 44 workers to evacuate safely from the Hercules 265 jack up rig. Later on the same day, leaking gas ignited a fire on the rig.</div>
<div>
	On July 25, Well A-3, which was in 154 feet of water, bridged over as sand and sediment stopped the gas flow, eventually, extinguishing the fire on the rig.</div>
<div>
	On July 27, the project of <a href="octg-steel-pipe.html" title="drilling a relief well">drilling a relief well</a> is permitted by the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), and Walter Oil &amp; Gas hired the Rowan EXL-3 jack up rig. The jack up rig has set anchor at South Timbalier 220, the relief well being expected to be drilled 55 mile off Louisiana.</div>
<div>
	Hercules Offshore, the drilling contractor, said that though the Hercules 265 was damaged to a certain extent, the structure was still integrally intact. There is now a 500-m safety zone around the site maintained by the US Coast Guard, firefighting and other marine vessels not pulling back and staying on the spot with staff of Walter, Hercules, and other contractors, and federal agencies. In addition, a Superior Derrick Services barge is standing by to offer assistance to any possible well intervention activity.</div>
<div>
	Now BSEE and USCG are inquiring the cause of this accidental loss of well control.&nbsp;</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/petrochina-will-join-in-developing-iraq-oilfield.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	PetroChina, biggest energy firm in China, will join Exxon Mobil in exploiting the large West Qurna oilfield in Iraq, and now it is having a conversation with Lukoil for the purchase of a second project at the field, said industry sources on Friday.</div>
<div>
	China has already become the foremost foreign player in developing Iraq&rsquo;s southern oilfield, and its competitive advantage will be improved by the deal at West Qurna, so that PetroChina will become the biggest single foreign investor.</div>
<div>
	PetroChina collaborates with BP at Rumaila, Iraq&#39;s biggest oilfield, and conducts the operation of the Halfaya field. The company was the first foreign firm to win a deal for oil services in Iraq after the former president Saddam Hussein was overthrown by US-led forces.</div>
<div>
	An industry source with direct knowledge of the deal with Exxon has announced that PetroChina will join the development of this oilfield.</div>
<div>
	The agreement would be disclosed in weeks, the source said, but refused to give much more details on how the two most valuable listed energy firms in the world would work together in Iraq. Both PetroChina and Exxon refused to answer any question about it.</div>
<div>
	Exxon holds a 60 per cent stake in West Qurna 1, a $50 billion investment project pumping around 480,000 barrels per day (bpd).</div>
<div>
	In March, PetroChina&#39;s ex-chairman Jiang Jiemin told Reuters that the Chinese energy major was willing to cooperate with Exxon at West Qurna.</div>
<div>
	PetroChina is also deliberating with Lukoil over joining a second development project at the field, West Qurna-2, a Lukoil source said. That source also declined to give any details on the size of the stake which is now being discussed.</div>
<div>
	&ldquo;Lukoil bosses have already said they would prefer an Asian partner, a Chinese partner, in the project to secure a guaranteed market for oil sales,&quot; the source said.</div>
<div>
	Lukoil&#39;s Chief Executive Vagit Alekperov has declared that the company was willing to have a Chinese firm as a replacement of Norway&#39;s Statoil at that project. Last year, Statoil has agreed in selling its 18.75 per cent stake.</div>
<div>
	China is the world&#39;s second-largest <a href="services/detail/petrochemicals.html" title="oil">oil</a> importer, behind the United States, and it is constantly increasing in fuel consumption which has improved global oil demand growth for ten years.</div>
<div>
	Faced with falling demand for imported oil in the United States and Europe, oil producers from the Middle East, Russia, Africa and Latin America are all competing for a bigger share of China&#39;s growing market.</div>
<div>
	West Qurna-2 is estimated to be capable to produce 500,000 bpd in 2014, demanding total investment of $30 billion. Lukoil will invest $5 billion in the project in 2013 alone in accordance with the plan.</div>
<div>
	Last year, Exxon agreed to sell its stake in the southern Iraq West Qurna-1 oilfield after arguing with Baghdad over contracts it signed with autonomous Kurdistan in the north, deals the central government rejects as illegal.</div>
<div>
	According to a source familiar with PetroChina operations in Iraq, the two companies were in talks over a deal that would help Exxon to maintain its status as operator at the oilfield, where Royal Dutch Shell is minority partner with 15 per cent.</div>
<div>
	Some industry sources thought that it was improbable that PetroChina would buy stakes in both projects, on account of their sheer size and scale.</div>
<div>
	However, the oilfields in Iraq are the largest oilfields open to foreign investment in the Middle East, which it&rsquo;s hard for PetroChina to resist with the rising of China&#39;s dependency on imports.</div>
<div>
	As a second industry official, who has inside information of PetroChina&#39;s investment strategy abroad said, PetroChina is under big pressure of adding output and reserving for its size.</div>
<div>
	The second industry official added, &quot;Iraq, given its attractive contract terms, was among the brightest spots for PetroChina&#39;s international operations over the past three years, working shoulder by shoulder with global oil majors.&quot;</div>
<div>
	Exxon and PetroChina said they had agreed in a separate deal in late July to study the 3,830 sqare-kilometre Changdong block together in northern China&#39;s Ordos basin, which industry officials described as a tight gas play.</div>
<div>
	An Exxon media official in Beijing had said in an email on Thursday that Exxon Mobil is expecting to successful implementation of the JSA, which would lead to discussion and execution of a Production Sharing Contract for the block.</div>
<div>
	Having developed tight gas in the Ordos basin, Exxon joined Shell and Total.</div>
<div>
	This would be the second time for a U.S. firm to obtain joint study deal with PetroChina. At one time the companies had agreed to study a shale block in southwestern China&#39;s Sichuan province.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/pembina-pipeline-plans-to-construct-new-gas-plant.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	<strong>Pembina Pipeline Corporation</strong> plans to construct, own and operate Musreau II. The new plant will have a capacity of about 100M ft3 per day (MMcf/d) shallow cut gas, and associated <a href="services/market-segments.html" title="natural gas">natural gas</a> liquids (NGL) and gas gathering <a href="pipe.html" title="pipelines">pipelines</a> near its existing Musreau facility in west central Alberta.</div>
<div>
	Musreau II will cost approximately USD 110M under expectation, and is capable to do work with 100% perfection supported by long-term contracts with area producers. The facility will be designed to extract propane-plus (C3+) and is expected to produce approximately 4,200 barrels per day of NGL for transportation on Pembina&#39;s Conventional Pipelines. The company hopes the new plant can have the best volumes to supply the production for previously announced Conventional Pipeline expansions. Subject to regulatory and environmental approval, Pembina expects Musreau II to start functioning in the first quarter of 2015.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Pembina&#39;s Gas Services business is operated by a 368 MMcf/d net shallow cut processing capacity. There is also included a 205 MMcf/d of deep cut processing capacity currently. An additional 200 MMcf/d is expected to begin operation in the third quarter of this year (Saturn I), another 200 MMcf/d to be on stream in the third quarter of 2014 (Resthaven) and a further 200 MMcf/d on stream in late 2015 (Saturn II). With the planning plant of Musreau II, there is a great chance that Pembina&#39;s gas processing capacity could reach approximately 1.2B ft3 per day by the end of 2015.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	The United States will change the situation where Russia has always been the leader of oil producer. All this are resulted from its <strong>oil</strong> boom.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The prediction is after the U.S government showed that while its oil production has grew, but it has lose the position as the largest oil exporter to China .</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Its oil growth this time can lead it in the old time position where it had once ranked one of the international leader of oil production.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The American has broken its historical records by producing more than 10 million barrel of oil per way for the last two quarters. Now the nation is planning to be the largest non-OPEC liquid producers in 2014. Not counting the benefits from biofuels and refinery.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The peak of American oil production has supplied a base that it can grow by an average of 1.7 million barrels daily in 2014. This high production has never happened in the past few years.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The prosperous oil growth will be a strike to the OPEC production and affect the oil price. The Momentum has the possibility that the oil price can be lower the current $110 a barrel.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Despite Saudi has supplied the topping 10 million bad for the consecutive three mouth, the crude oil supply from OPEC has dropped to lower than 30 million in the past two years, especially the drop in Libya and Iraq.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Due to the influence of non- OPEC supply has increased, the expected oil from OPEC supply is in the 100,000 bpd to 29 million.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/hydraulic-valves-from-pipestec.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	<strong>Hydraulic valves</strong> are important device to control the pressure and flow of fluid in pipeline, especially in oil industry. This kind of valve also can produce hydraulic power.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Hydraulic valves&nbsp;have a long application history. It was first practiced by China, where the hydraulic valve was adopted in a bamboo water delivery system to control salt water.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The valves are used to prevent the Nile from flooding in the West. In 18th century BC, the prototype formodern valves are invented to control the direction of water flow.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	When the steam engine was invented along came a compensation hydraulic valve that had the ability to adjust the flow. In other words, when the steam pressure increased, the <a href="plug-valves.html" title="plug valves">plug valves</a> controlled the intake and the exhaust of a steam engine.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Now the hydraulic valves are included pressure hydraulic valves, directional valves, and <a href="valves.html" title="flow control valves">flow control valves</a>.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Pressure Hydraulic Valves, or called as pressure control valves are used to control the water pressure. And they play a big role in controlling the water pressure in case the temperature reaching the maximum or the minimum.<strong> </strong>PipesTec offers a series of pressure valves like unloading valves, pressure regulator valves, counter-balance valves and sequence valves.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Pressure regulators are used to control fluctuations in water pressure. Sequence valves are in two ways and force two parts of the hydraulic system to open. Unloading valves functions as reliving the pressure and plays a big role to prevent hydraulic system accident.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The control valves from PipesTec can guarantee the water flow to the desired direction by starting or stopping the water flow. The control valves from PipesTec have minimum two opening or as much as five to direct the water flow. The types are included actuated electrically, hydraulically, pneumatically, manually or mechanically.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Flow control hydraulic valves are the latest improved hydraulic valves to control and adjust the flow by a controller in the valve body. These types of valves can keep water flow from the influence of gravity while a hydraulic system is not working. Flow control hydraulic valves have the function to make the water flow remain on stand-by.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/the-results-of-brazil-oil-block-auction.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Shell, Total, two Chinese firms and Brazil&#39;s state-run petroleum company Petrobras have won the development right of an offshore field in Brazil where there is 12 billion barrel of <strong>oil</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The auction was under a new legal framework has ruled to give the Brazil and its Petrobras more control of its oil discovery. There are about 100 billion barrels of oil under the formidable layer of salt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The auction was a disappointment for the critics who have thought the legal rules could interrupt the foreign investors and the protestors who was tried to stop field from selling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	About 300 protestors demonstrated outside of the hotel where the bidding took place. They all tried to keep the Brazil oil industry nation-owned, while the security officials took firing gas and rubber bullets to stop them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The Brazil <a href="services/market-segments.html" title="oil">oil</a> union had disagreed foreign share of the domestic petroleum and the oil workers were the first group to strike.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Pro-business critics commented there could be few private firms to bid due to the new law which ruled that Petrobras keep 30 percent share in oil block. They thought a consortium of many countries to operate could make the oil field investment and development in slow pace. The target of the bidding is to rank the Brazil in developed nations as well as improving the education and health facilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	There were only 11 companies involved in the auction and there was only consortium that could win the bid. The last results was that Petrobras holds a 40 percent stake, Shell and Total each account for 20 percent and Chinese firms CNOOC and CNPC have 10 percent each.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Many professionals thought the new rule was a block and it would make production expensive. Due to the shortage of interest, the auction did not draw too much attention.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The non-conventional oil was in 6,000 to 7,000 meters deep. In the next 12 to 15 years, the fields would be invested $500 billion. Many participators withdraw from the consideration of little chance of benefit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The technological difficulties should be overcome if companies want to obtain gain. They are challenged for Petrobras too even a world leader in oil development.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The deep-water reservoirs lie some 185 miles offshore in the Atlantic, more than a mile (kilometer) below the ocean&#39;s surface. There is high risk to develop the fields because the salt beds cab break loose and cutting off piping.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The Brazil economy is slow, while the oil production delayed. Some warns that the Brazil is taken the strategy to welcome foreign investment.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The Eurasia Group said the actuation was a growing strategy and financial constraints. The country was trying hard to get rid of the developing nation economy. May be there would be change in the next auction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The willing to allow foreign oil companies to involve in the development of the Pre-salt can add Brazil dual advantages. It can lead more investment to the quicker production of the pre-salt and allow Petrobras a relief.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Government can not lose from the event. It was the poor shale gas and tight oil technology that lead the fewer attractions.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/more-time-for-mediterranean-offshore-gas-production.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	That will give the international energy a relief is the offshore natural <strong>gas</strong> sources in the eastern Mediterranean Sea&rsquo;s Levant basin. But it will need some time for the oil to be developed.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	But the vital task in recent is for the countries in the regions to solve their conflicts. Israel will be the uncountable participator because it is rightly located in the area.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Finding <a href="services/market-segments.html" title="gas">gas</a> is not enough, but it has to be proven to be profitable. A $10/MMbtu price would be considerable to go ahead the gas production in Israel and Cyprus.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Israel, Cyprus, and Greece will be combined to develop the gas production. But the problem of how to deliver the gas should be solved first. Due to the large population of Turks in Cyprus, so the Turkey has large right to say what has taken place in the eastern Mediterranean. Until more countries involved in the project, it can be start.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	That could hardly happen until the following two issues are solved, namely the Turkish-Israeli relations as well as the international water boundary disputes. The officials in these countries also doubt when the oil development can begin. These issues should be discussed first.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Noble Energy Inc.&rsquo;s estimation of its resource declined after a production test of its A2 appraisal well had completed. There is a high chance that the island nation would delay export schedule.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The proposed pipelines will be completed in fast speed from LNG since tankers make it easier to turn their goods into gas. Large regasification facilities are not necessity onshore.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	European would have large consumption of eastern Mediterranean gas, while its other potential customers are Asia countries where the gas would be delivered through the Suez Canal. There is the potential that European would help founding an undersea pipeline which is convenient for Turkey to get along.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	While there is a conflict between Turkeys with its Kurdish population, the Turkey and Northern Iraq business cooperation has seen business can be conductive for solving political problems.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	It is necessary for Turkey as a trading partner to the North Iraq which is locking. There is possibility for Ankara and Istanbul to be tied together. But the links for eastern Mediterranean countries to cooperate can be less since they are easier to accessible to market respectively.&nbsp;</div>
<div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Chinese oil giant Sinopec has signed a <b>oil</b>&nbsp;payment agreement with Russia Reosneft which was the international leading crude oil producer. According to the agreement, Sinopec would pay for Russian oil deliveries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The 10-year contract will see that China pay 25-30 percent of the total costs and get 10 million ton of <a href="services/market-segments.html" title="oil">oil</a> annually from 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The Rosneft has issued terms to specific meeting its clients.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The visit of Russia Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to Beijing was to make the deal announcement and to make the first Russia <strong>natural gas</strong> delivery accessible to Chinese energy market.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The total value of the contract can reach at $85 billion.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The negotiators of the Russia representing Russia and China talks are the country&#39;s top oil and gas producers as well as Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Both Medvedev and Novak were confidential about another deal can be made, which the Russia natural gas would deliver to China before the end of the year.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	At the meeting, it is officially announced the final agreement has been made.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The two companies have agreed on a formula. But the gas price is a key needing to negotiate.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Gas price has been the focus of the Russia and China during the many years of negotiation. The disagreement has led China turn to the Central Asian Energy.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	There is potential that another agreement about the gas price and a contract would be signed under which Russia natural gas will be delivered to China in 2018-2020.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	After the deal, China would have 38 billion cubic metres of gas flowing in its pipelines per year.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	The OMV AG has seen <strong>oil</strong> in two poor quality reservoirs in the Wisting Alternative well 7324/7-1S on PL537. The discovery can supply important clues about the region geology.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The Leiv Eiriksson semisubmersible was adopted to drill the well to reach 2,452 m depth in 413 m deep water.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The well was estimated not to be the main <a href="services/market-segments.html" title="oil">oil</a> discovery at Wisting Central. But there was oil discovered in the deeper Kobbe and Snadd formations.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	OMV has carried out a series of activity to collect data and sample. But the well will be blocked, no longer in use. The discovery team will move to the Wisting Central discovery and make a better understanding of the area geology.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The holder of the PL537 is that the OMV respectively taking 25% interests. Tullow, Idemitsu, and Petoro respectively take 20%. The remaining is to Statoil. According to the professional&rsquo;s word, the well is a wildcat well where the geology in the Barents Sea could come into light.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The material Wisting Central oil field, with the same license of the Wisting Alternative was discovered in September this year. It will be estimated in 2014. The Mantra well, one of the high impacts well in OMV program, will be drilled in November.</div>

      <title><![CDATA[Chevron, Petrobras Develop Papa Terra Field]]></title>
      <link>news/industry-news/chevron-petrobras-develop-papa-terra-field.html</link>
      <guid>news/industry-news/chevron-petrobras-develop-papa-terra-field.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	Chevron, Petrobras have already started producing <strong>oil</strong> with the aid an oil platform at the Papa-Terra oil and gas field off the southern coast of Brazil. Aiming at more <a href="services/market-segments.html" title="oil">oil</a> flow in the area, the two giant companies expect the second drilling ring and platform can reach the site in the year end.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The Papa-Terra was discovered in 2003. It is estimated to output 140,000 barrels of crude oil per day.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The high development of Papa Terra can be contributed the tacit cooperation of the Petrobras and Chevron with their skills and professional connected knowledge.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	And this project is conductive to Chevron because it can recover its strength in Brazil. It had to shut down its only field in Brazil, Frade due to oil spill in 2011. Since then, Chevron has not cooperated with Latin American again since the accident cause anger among the local officials.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The spill was expected to lose 2,400 barrels to 3,700 barrel. This was a very small proportion among the many spills in history. But Chevron and drill-rig operator were charged $20 billion for damage, while their staffs were also charged.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	At last, Chevron settled these two civil lawsuits for more than $40 million. And the whole accident was cool down.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Chevron and Exxon Mobil and other oil giants have joint in the auction of oil and natural gas fields. But the two companies had not desire to obtain part of Libra field which is estimated to hold about 12 billions barrels of recoverable crude. They both did not register for a sale of offshore natural gas block.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Chevron only bought an exploration block in a bid last May. The company had very proportional possession in Brazil, that including the block off Brazil northern coast, Papa Terra, Frade and Maromba. All these can not sustain the company&rsquo;s continuous development.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Chevron said that the relationship with Brazil was significant. But it also did not give up the development chances in other North American nations. It has already signed an contract with Argentina to develop the Vaca Muerta field which could have the potential to be the next huge shale oil deposite. Besides, it also retain its relationship with pdVSA despite the great protest of anti- American from the region&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Chevron could also get the same response in Brazil just like in Argentina and Venezuela if it expects future development.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Chevron has both glory and hardship in investing these countries. It would be a miracle if the company has very boosted achievement in Brail since it had gone through a lot in these years.</div>

      <title><![CDATA[China Valves Develop with Manufacturing Industry]]></title>
      <link>news/industry-news/china-valves-develop-with-manufacturing-industry.html</link>
      <guid>news/industry-news/china-valves-develop-with-manufacturing-industry.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The application of <a href="valves.html">valves</a>, as basic component in manufacturing industry cannot not be neglected. In recent years, with the improvement of demands in manufacturing industry, the standards of valves is enhanced. With the development of manufacturing industry, China&#39;s valves are also developed into high-end orientation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	However, neither domestic market support policy nor technical level is still not good enough to develop high-end valves. Followings are some difficulties for realizing nationalization of high-end valves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Lacking of fund for research and development. There are obvious gab on development concept of product technology between China&#39;s corporations and foreign developed corporations. Lacking of fund for research and development has become a key factor for restricting self-research of corporation. According to incomplete statistics, funding for research and development only accounts for less than 2% of the corporation&#39;s total revenue. Compared with foreign famous corporations, the funding of the whole industry for research and development is quite small. Relevant statistics show that the total R&amp;D expenses of the whole year in China&#39;s valves and pumps industry even is smaller than a corporation in developed country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Weak capability of independent innovation. It is said that the absorption of imported technology is still ineffective for China&#39;s manufacturing industry. Most of corporations have inferior capability of independent innovation. 57% of core technology on machinery products still depend on import. Although most of products in China&#39;s valves and pumps industry have realized independent production, China&#39;s corporations still concentrate in low-end processing. Range and depth of autonomization need to be enhanced. For example, the core technology of nuclear pump and core package on high-pressure boiler which have been nationalized for nuclear power plant, still relies on import.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Unwillingness to buy nationalized products. Even performance index of nationalized products has reach the same level as developed countries. Some customers are still willing to purchase of foreign equipments, which makes the first China&#39;s major technologies and equipments enter into market more difficult. Although many nationalized high-end pump products have quit high technical level, some departments still refuse to use them for lacking of operational performance.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Shorting of industrial general technical study. Due to transformation, some institutes which used to serve industry have changed independent corporations. Structural properties and focus of work have been changed a lot. Supporting role of industrial technology is weakened gradually. Development of new technology and technics is slow. Standard of designation, technics, materials and manufacturing has fallen behind developed countries. &nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	With advancement of policy for promoting manufacturing industry, general basic manufacturing industry will accept key support in further and nationalization of high-end valves will be also accelerated. The whole industry should rectify shortcomings and strengthen technical innovation.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp; &nbsp; Moscow and Beijing have been involved in painstaking talks about possible Russian <a href="services/market-segments.html">gas</a> supplies to China, with price being the main obstacle to a deal. Last week, The Russian deputy premier Arkady Dvorkovich went to China as part of a Russian delegation to discuss cooperation in the energy sector. &ldquo;Russia and China aim to wrap up a 10-year series of talks about Russian gas supplies before President Vladimir Putin visits China in May&rdquo;, Says Dvorkovich. &ldquo;China is interested in alternative energy projects on the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, annexed by Russia from Ukraine in March&rdquo;, Interfax reported. &quot;The Chinese colleagues who are involved in alternative energy projects, are looking with interest at participating in similar projects in the Crimean republic,&quot; Dvorkovich was quoted as saying. Dvorkovich also said Russia and China plan to boost cooperation in oil and oil products, as well as in coal and power supplies.<br />
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp; &nbsp; Putin has urged Russian companies to expand their exposure to Asia as Europe&#39;s economy falters and countries there seek less dependence on energy supplies from their former Cold War foe. Europe is the key buyer of oil and gas from Russia. Russia&#39;s top natural gas producer Gazprom plans to start supplying China with 38 billion cubic metres of gas per year - around a quarter of Russia&#39;s exports to Europe - in 2018. Russia&#39;s top oil company Rosneft aims to triple oil supplies to China from the more than 300,000 barrels per day it sent last year.&nbsp;</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Baosteel has delivered <a href="pipe.html">line pipe</a> from China to the Port of Melbourne, which will be used for APA Group&rsquo;s Victorian gas infrastructure expansion project. The company is contracted to supply the entire steel pipe requirements for APA Group&rsquo;s Victorian expansion project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation is a state-owned iron and steel company headquartered in the Bao Steel Tower in Shanghai, China. Baosteel is the largest and most advanced integrated steel company in China and second-largest steel producer in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	APA is Australia&rsquo;s largest natural gas infrastructure business, owning and/or operating $12 billion of energy assets. Its gas transmission pipelines span every state and territory on mainland Australia, delivering approximately half of the nation&rsquo;s gas usage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	APA Group announced last year it would proceed with a further expansion of the Victorian &ndash; New South Wales interconnect following an extension to its gas transportation agreement with Lumo Energy. The project involves 162 km of looping on the Victorian Northern Interconnect pipeline (62 percent of the pipeline), which is part of the Victorian Transmission System. This expansion will involve an increase in compression at Culcairn, New South Wales, as well as additional looping on the Victorian Transmission System, at a total cost of approximately $25 million.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The aggregate effect of the three expansions will be to increase firm peak winter gas flow capacity from the Victorian Transmission System into the Moomba Sydney Pipeline System by 145 per cent. All three expansions will commence this year and be completed by winter 2015.&nbsp;</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Esso, the UK unit of oil giant Exxon, had shut a <a href="pipe.html">pipeline</a> running from its Fawley oil refinery near Southampton for checks. More than 30,000 liters of fuel was stolen, that would be worth about 41,000 pounds at pump prices. Two suspects have been arrested after thieves tapped into one of the country&rsquo;s main underground transit routes.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&ldquo;Esso is committed to the very highest standards of safety. The pipeline has therefore been closed down and our specialists are working to check it and, if necessary, effect any repair,&rdquo; the company said. A company spokesman said Esso did not expect its retail customers to be affected by the pipeline closure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Police found a stash of diesel they believe was siphoned off by the thieves. The two men who were arrested were 32 and 34 years old. Both were apprehended in Salisbury, southern England, on suspicion of conspiracy to steal fuel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&quot;Lines of enquiry include establishing the exact amount of fuel stolen and examining the suspected sophisticated method used in this alleged theft,&quot; police said in a statement.</div>

	Yesterday, under the witness of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, China National Petroleum Corporation and Russia Gazprom signed&ldquo;Eastern Gas Sales Contract&rdquo; in Shanghai. Discussion of Natural gas cooperation between China and Russia dates back to the end of last century when China&rsquo;s natural gas market just began to develop, lasting for more than ten years.&nbsp;<br />
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	This gas deal is valid for 30 years and valued $400 billion, the details of current agreement is still not public. This is a great symbol of China-Russia continuously fortified relation. Two leaders witnessed the signing of the agreement, which highlights that both sides regard the improvement of bilateral relation as the utmost importance.<br />
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	It is expected that Russia will provide China with 38 billion cubic metres of gas per year from 2018. The price for per unit is not revealed. Russia raised $388 per thousand cubic meters, while China proposes $380 per thousand cubic meters. The final price might be in between.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Domestic <a href="valves.html">metal valve</a> industry enterprises obviously tend to outward development. Previously, because of low cost and intense competition, most companies relied on lower price to gain market share. As a result, corporate profit was very low, basically only reaching the state of the maintain production. Enterprises were lack of money for sustainable development as the consequence of low prices, low added value and low profits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Under current situation of bullish macroeconomic, most production and sales of metal valve industry maintain a fast growth. However, influenced by the price war, industry sales revenue and profits have dropped sharply compared with last year. On the whole, China&#39;s valve industry market concentration is low, mainly producing middle-end and low-end products. For domestic core technology, there is still a gap compared with developed countries. Most valve enterprises in China are low level, small scale, and family workshop. Due to repeated investment and insufficient technology introduction, Chinese major valves are still low-quality mass products.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	At present, China&#39;s valve industry is still facing some problems. However, those problems do not affect the broad prospects of Chinese valve industry. Benefited from the support of national policy and valve products strong demand, especially several huge projects such as west-east gas pipeline and south-north water diversion project, a large number of valve products is needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Import and export revenues of China&#39;s valve industry reached $24.1 billion last year, growing by 28.2%. Total exports revenues reached $22.4 billion, growing by 29.3%. Total imports revenues increase by 27%, reaching $20.134 billion. As the world&rsquo;s economic recovery, Chinese import and export products also greatly rose. For a period, product technology will become a bottleneck restricting the development of China&#39;s valve products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Therefore, improving technology is the way to survive in the future. As a leader in valve industry, PipesTec introduces high-tech manufacturing equipments and hires skillful technician to produce top-end products. We are targeted to overseas markets and ambitious to become the pioneer of Chinese high-tech metal valve enterprise.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/urbanization-pulls-the-demand-of-steel-pipe-in-china.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	This year, although global economy has not yet apparently recovered and domestic market demand is not expected to be optimistic, the urbanization construction and followed energy market, especially oil and gas market, still remains strong demand of <a href="carbon-steel-pipe.html">steel tube</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Under the current situation of high-speed urbanization, accelerating the development of city gas pipeline network construction will be an important direction, thereby giving impetus to the demand of <a href="stainless-steel-pipe.html">steel pipe</a>. Relevant data show that new urban population will reach 400 million in the next decade, which may bring increased investment demand by 40 trillion Yuan. During the &quot;Twelfth Five-Year&quot; period, China will newly build 250,000 km <a href="pipe.html">gas pipeline</a>, reaching the total length of 600,000 km. In accordance with the general trunk consumption of 500 tons/kilometer, steel pipe demand for 250,000 km gas line should be very considerable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The acceleration of natural gas development will pull the pipe market demand. Coal accounts for 70% of China&rsquo;s energy consumption and gas accounts for only 4%. In 2015, China will increase the proportion of natural gas consumption in the energy structure to 8% and will reach 10% in 2020. Gas resources exploration in upstream and utilization in downstream covers the development of coal bed methane, shale gas, coal gas etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	During the &quot;Twelfth Five-Year&quot; period, China will also invest 81.1 billion Yuan to build 24 gas storages, pulling the demand of the steel pipe. Refer to the data of west-east second gas line, 8800 km lines (total 4.4 million tons steel pipe) owns a gas supply capacity of 30 billion cubic meters. Presumably, the construction of long-distance gas pipeline will need 13.86 million tons steel pipe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	In 2014, China&#39;s continues to speed up the oil &amp; gas strategic channel construction. According to the Institute of CNPC Planning, the next five years, China&#39;s new national strategic oil reserve base will invest 80 billion Yuan and oil and gas pipeline construction also needs an investment of $350 billion. Therefore, demand of steel pipe continues to be very large. Chinese steel pipe market is still believed to hide huge potential within a long period.</div>

      <link>news/industry-news/three-maintenance-methods-of-long-distance-steel-pipe.html</link>
      <guid>news/industry-news/three-maintenance-methods-of-long-distance-steel-pipe.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	Long distance <a href="pipe.html">oil and gas pipeline</a> is an important means of energy security. In the process of anticorrosion construction for oil and gas pipeline, the surface treatment of steel pipe is one of the key factors that determine the service life of pipeline. It is necessary for the solid combination of anti-corrosion layer and steel tube.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Verified by research institutions, the service life of anti-corrosion layers depends on factors such as coating types, quality, construction environment etc. Besides, the surface treatment of steel tube is also a crucial factor that effects on the coating lifespan greatly. Therefore, we should carry out continuous exploration and summary to improve the surface treatment methods strictly in accordance with requirements.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h2>
	1. Cleaning of steel pipe</h2>
<div>
	Use solvent and emulsion to clean steel surface, which can remove oil, grease, dirt, lubricants, and similar organic matter. However, it cannot remove rust, scale cinder, welding flux etc on the surface of the steel. Therefore, it can only be as auxiliary means in anti-corrosion process.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h2>
	2. Descaling tools of steel pipe</h2>
<div>
	Steel wire brushes and other tools are widely used in grind process because they can remove loose or cock scale, rust, slag, etc. Hand tools can achieve Sa2 derusting level, while power tool can reach Sa3. If the pipe surface is adhered with solid oxide scale, the result of power tool cleaning will be unsatisfactory, and can&rsquo;t meet the anchor pattern depth required by anticorrosion construction.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h2>
	3. Acid pickling of steel pipe</h2>
<div>
	Chemical and electrolytic pickling are the common two methods of acid pickling process. Pipeline anticorrosion only adopts chemical pickling to remove scale, rust and old coating. Chemical pickling can also be used as reprocessing after sandblasting. It can make the surface clean and coarse to some extent while the anchor pattern made by it is shallow. Moreover, chemical pickling is harmful to the environment.<br />

      <guid>news/industry-news/zhangjiakou-promotes-central-heating-project.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	According to information, <strong>the main urban area of Zhangjiakou has carried out central heating project for 5 year</strong>. 537 chimneys were overturned. Citizens in about 30,970 thousand square meters of the region have benefited from this project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Among all cities of Hopeh Province, Zhangjiakou is the last one that put the central heating project into practice. However, so far it has successfully controlled its main air pollution indexes and promoted the city to follow an environment friendly development course.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Zhangjiakou has closed 394 small boiler rooms, of which 555 boilers were torn down at the same time. First-level <a href="pipe.html">heating pipe network</a> has extended to 188 kilometers, and 249 heating station has been built along it. In five years, the popularizing rate of heating in central city area has increased from zero to 87.37%. Preliminary estimates show that, the coal consumption has decreased 187 thousand tons annually after the implement of the heating project. Therefore the ashes and smoke dust also have reduced almost 57 thousand tons and 10 thousand tones respectively. The emission of sulfur dioxide has lowered about 3.7 thousand tons. All these lead to the great improvement of heating conditions in winter.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	It is learned that, Zhangjiakou will expanded 2,900 square meters of heating area on the current base in 2014, including 2,000 thousand square meters of new built area and 900 thousand square meters of original area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	What&rsquo;s more, the city will invested over 2,000 thousand RMB to realize the inter-connection among heating networks. This project will make sure regular heating all the time in case of break-down or accidents that may take place in some parts. With the inter-connection valves, problems like unreliability and insecurity of independent heating system, and the waste of energy can all be resolved successfully.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/gas-war-hurts-bilateral-relation-of-russia-and-ukraine.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Natural gas negotiation between Ukraine and Russia, which has been lasting for months, finally broke down on 16th. Gazprom announced that it will implement advanced payment policy for Ukraine&#39;s <a href="products.html">oil and natural gas</a> companies. This policy means that Russian will stop gas supply if Ukraine rejects to pay or repay prices according to the quotation of Russia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	At present, risks of gas disruption in Ukraine have not emerged apparently. Gas is supplied for citizens&rsquo; daily life as usual. Ukrainians don&#39;t worry about gas supply or have any panic. Gas dispute has repeatedly occurred between the two countries. In response to the possibility of dispute, Ukrainian authorities have begun to decrease the volume of imported natural gas from Russia year by year. The government also increases the storage of natural gas and expands gas imported sources to reduce the dependence on Russian gas. Besides, pressure of gas supply is not high in summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Although the influence of gas disruption is temporarily not apparent, more than 90% of Ukraine&#39;s gas is from Russia. Especially during gas peak period in winter, Ukrainians will surely be tough to spend bitter winter without enough gas supplies. Ukrainian authorities have begun to take measures to seek energy supply security for this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	From the past experience, <strong>confrontation is a double-edged sword which may hurt both sides.</strong> Thus compromise is the only way out. For Russia, gas disruption does not conform to its own interests because energy export is its main source of foreign exchange eventually. Gas disruption not only damages Russia&#39;s economy but also affects the energy cooperation and economic relations between Russia and the EU. And for Ukraine, Russia&#39;s natural gas is still indispensable even various measures are taking. Ukraine&#39;s gas imported from Russia last year reached 27.4 billion cubic meters, still significantly higher than domestic natural gas exploitation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Besides, Ukraine is difficult to get the cheap gas currently. Final discounted price Russia offers to Ukraine&#39; is $385 per thousand cubic meters. Ukraine said it can&#39;t accept the price. But Ukrainian media disclosed that average gas price from Europe was $376 per thousand cubic meters, very close to Russia&rsquo;s. At least for the moment, the amount of natural gas from other channels is very limited and Ukraine still can&rsquo;t stop importing from Russia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Continued gas disruption certainly brings a negative impact to Europe&#39;s natural gas supply and energy security. The EU puts pressure on Ukraine and Russia and requests to solve the dispute as soon as possible for its own interests. Under the pressure from international political pressure and domestic economy, <strong>Ukraine and Russia are likely to find a compromise in the near future.</strong><br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	At present, China <a href="fasteners.html">fastener industry</a> is facing transformation. Continued overcapacity and declining sales increase the survival pressure of some enterprises. The benign development of an enterprise must be based on the establishment of core competitiveness and intrinsic motivation. Most Chinese fastener enterprises lack of advanced technology and technical personnel due to insufficient innovation ability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	In recent years, with the steady and rapid development of economy, China&#39;s fastener industry has overcome various difficulties and clung to domestic market. Relying on cars, high-speed railway, shipbuilding, advanced manufacturing industry, etc. <strong>It has been focusing on innovation, transformation and structural adjustment of products constantly</strong>.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	For sales and output, Chinese and Japanese are close in sales: $9.375 billion and $9.69 billion respectively. But the respective sales volume is 6.2 million tons and 2.87 million tons. That means China&rsquo;s exported fasteners get the lowest added value. Therefore, the added value of technology content must be paid attention to export products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	At the same time, high strength non-standard special-shaped products develop rapidly, accounting nearly sixty percent of the total market. Feng Jinyao, the president of National Fastener Association, said: &ldquo;Profession, speciality and preciseness are the path of our industry. First of all, I hope enterprises can ascent per capita labor productivity to 500 thousand - 1 million Yuan. Only by this can enterprises obtain the ability to participate in market competition.&rdquo;&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The development of the industry mingled with hope and fear in the past five years. The industrial concentration has increased certainly, and leading enterprises have maintained a fast growth. However, small businesses account for a large number and disperse greatly. Low product added value, excess capacity and price dumping make the market unregulated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	It is the most important for enterprises to improve competition capacity and to tightly control the quality of products. <strong>Profession, speciality and preciseness are the keys to the development of fastener enterprises.</strong><br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	According to a an economic report released by China Investment Corporation in Kuwait last Sunday, <strong>China will decreasingly import <a href="services/market-segments.html">petroleum oil</a> from the GCC countries in 2014, with a declining share to 39.5%</strong>. Besides oil, China and the GCC countries are maintaining active relationship in other fields of economic and trade exchanges.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The report indicates that China is now the largest energy consumer. Most of its fuel relies on imported oil from the GCC countries. Unlike the growth in 2013, other commodities that were exported to China showed a larger decline in early this year. Last year, China imported most oil from Saudi Arabia, accounting for 20% of the total import volume of oil. What&rsquo;s more, the share of imported oil from the GCC countries kept at 46%.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Oil imported from Kuwait remains at a low level of growth, while the volume from United Arab Emirates is increasing. Demand for oil and oil prices are the main factors that affect the trade between China and the GCC countries. The report also predicts that China&#39;s growth rate will slow down or maintains at 7% in the coming months.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	China is committed to seeking the diversification of energy sources. As the largest oil source country of China, Saudi Arabia will occupy the share of other GCC countries.</div>

	<strong>China is becoming the world&#39;s supply and demand center of LNG (liquefied natural gas)</strong>. Either the upgrading of domestic energy structure or the rapid growth of import is forcing <strong>China to reshape the global natural gas market.</strong><br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Customs statistics show that China&#39;s imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) rose 35%, to 5.62 million tons in the first quarter of this year. Energy strategic transformation brought by energy revolution increasingly demands for clean energy, especially natural gas. According to the work plan for energy industry to strengthen the prevention and control of atmospheric pollution, consumption proportion of <a href="products.html">natural gas</a> in China will reach 7% by 2015.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Zeng Xingqiu, the vice chairman of China Energy Research Center of Investment Association, told reporter: &ldquo;natural gas important transformative energy, whose consumption is continuously increasing. Whether China will become the center of LNG consumption in 2020 is up for debate. However, it is certainly that China will be an important consumption area.&rdquo;<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	It is estimated by McKinsey that China could surpass South Korea and be the world&#39;s second largest LNG buyer, only second to Japan by the end of 2020. At that time, imports will rise from 18 million tons to 61 million tons, mainly form Australia. China&#39;s natural gas supply capacity will reach 400 billion cubic meters annually.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	China is a huge market which provides an important market channels for international manufactures. It is analysed that global natural gas price is under downward trend as Australia and the United States exporting a large number of LNG in the future. It is wise that large state-owned enterprises sign long-term supply contracts with overseas companies to compete for resources and lock the prices. The market competition will be more intense with growing gas resources.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Recently, the general office of China state council issued &ldquo;Guidance Opinions about Strengthening the Construction of Urban <a href="products.html">Underground Pipeline</a> Management&rdquo;. <strong>The opinion aims to promote monitoring and early warning technology for underground pipeline</strong>. Relevant departments should encourage underground pipeline owners to develop and apply this technology. It will realize functions such as intelligent monitoring and early warning, automatic processing of harmful gas, automatic alarm, explosion-proofing, anti-theft well covers etc to increase the efficiency of the underground pipeline safety management and reduce all kinds of accidents.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The opinion points out that frequently occurring underground pipeline safety accidents caused serious influence on the normal operation of cities and the safety of citizens&rsquo; life and property security in recent period of time. The &quot;11.22&quot; Qingdao pipeline leakage explosion especially caused huge losses of life and property, which exposes the problems of urban underground pipeline systems such as daily maintenance, hidden perils prevention and emergency management.<br />
	To ensure the safe operation of the urban underground pipeline, the following five aspects should be focused on:<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	First, perfect and carry out daily maintenance and patrol system. Build the system for underground pipeline patrol and hidden perils prevention. Establish patrol records including the time, places, problems, processing measures, etc.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Second, promote underground pipeline monitoring and pre-warning technology. Draw lessons from the successful experience and combine with the characteristics of regions. Encourage the development and application of monitoring and pre-warning technology to increase the efficiency of the underground pipeline safety management.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Third, conduct underground pipeline operations in strict accordance with the relevant requirements. Establish corresponding management system. Construction units should query present situation of underground pipeline and give detailed information to construction units before project planning and design.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Fourth, practice main responsibility of rectification and strengthen the rectification work of major hidden dangers. Hidden dangers such as illegal occupation, insufficient safety distance, old pipeline, abandoned pipeline etc are difficult to rectify and require a lot of money. The city government and relevant departments should intensify the coordination and investment of rectification.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Fifth, strengthen emergency management and improve the ability of emergency. Departments of industry and ownership units should develop targeted special contingency plans according to the risks of transmission medium and characteristics of pipeline. Organize regular exercise and inspect the practicability and maneuverability of plans to strengthen emergency construction and improve professional quality.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	According to the <a href="http://www.iea.org/">International Energy Agency</a> (IEA), a new report expects that benefited from the global economic recovery, global oil demand will reach 92.76 million barrels per day on average in 2014, which is 0.96 million higher than expected number in May, 2013. At the same time, the demand will grow by 1.42 million barrels per day next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>The oil demand is increasing, as well as the supply risk.</strong> The IEA said current oil market has become more nervous. It mentioned the supply sources risk brought by unrest situation in Iraq and Libya, sanctions against Iran, and oil theft in Nigeria, particularly the risk of Iraq.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Currently, Iraq is OPEC&#39;s second-largest oil producer. Its oil production reached 3.6 million barrels per day in February, the peak amount in 35 years. Iraq also plans to reach the target of 4 million barrels this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The IEA also expects that the global promotion of shale <a href="products.html">oil and gas</a> production is likely to appear before 2020, earlier than previous estimation. The agency forecasts that shale or light oil supply can reach 650 thousand barrels per day outside the United States by 2019, including 390 thousand barrels from Canada, 100 thousand barrels from Russia and 90 thousand barrels from Argentina. By that time, America&#39;s shale oil production is expected to achieve double growth, to 5 million barrels per day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Experts believe that the global economic recovery and continued turmoil in oil-producing areas will support high oil prices and stimulate the exploration of oil &amp; gas and the development of unconventional energy, such as shale gas.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	South Korea departments of trade, industry and energy disclosed recently that <strong>the government would provide domestic refiners with subsidies to encourage them to import crude oil outside Middle East Region. Influenced by political uncertainty in that area, South Korean government is trying to realize the diversification of oil import sources.</strong><br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	An official said that South Korea is greatly affected by the price fluctuations of international oil. About 85% of its oil is imported from the Middle East. However, most of the oil is shipped to South Korea through Straits of Melaka, where pirates cause big trouble. The government has decided to provide refiners with financial subsidies to reduce their transportation cost.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The South Korea government has approved the revised bill and adds stimulus measures. According to the new policy, government will give subsidies to refiners if they import <a href="products.html">crude oil</a> from the Americas, Africa and Europe to make up the freight difference from the Gulf and other areas. At present, refiners should pay 1600 won ($1.6) of tariffs for 100 litres crude oil and get the same amount of tax rebates when exporting oil products. That means refiners which imported crude oil outside Middle East Region will enjoy dual interests, including transportation cost subsidies and tax rebates.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	South Korea refiners said that they had been stimulated by the new policy and would seek more oil sources from non Middle East countries. YooJung-Min, the spokesman of SK, said: &ldquo;We are pushing more crude oil imports from Australia, Russia and Indonesia, but the risk is not merely transportation costs for Middle East crude oil is more suited to our refining facilities.&rdquo;<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	According to the statistics of South Korean national oil company, South Korea imported 790.58 million barrels of crude oil from the Middle East, accounting for 86.4% of its total imports. In the previous five months this year, South Korea has imported 308.78 million barrels from the Middle East, which is accounted for 83% of its 372.08 million barrels of total crude oil imports.<br />

	<a href="safety-valves.html">Safety valves</a> belong to automatic valves, which are widely used for boiler, pressure vessel and pipeline. They control the pressure not to exceed the specified value in order to protect personal safety and equipment operation. <strong>As a kind of common tool, safety valves have an extremely extensive application in the market, whose operating reliability and performance is directly related to the equipment and personal safety.</strong><br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Analysts of Champ Consulting pointed out that market scale of relief valve industry has greatly expanded in 2014. In the aspect of demand, the relief valve demands are twenty percent higher than that of last year.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	With the development of industries, specifications of relief valve are also increasing. More industries are applying relief valves such as <a href="services/market-segments.html">petrochemical</a>, oil refining, nuclear, thermal power industries etc. According to different development needs, relief valve manufacturers should launch new products, new equipment to meet the market demand. Safety valves belong to special equipment industry, but current number of qualified manufacturers in our country is insufficient. Qualification examination executed by General Administration of Quality Supervision is getting stricter. Nevertheless, the huge demand market is undoubtedly bringing more business opportunities for qualified manufacturers.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Safety valves in the future will be with industrial automation, which will improve the overall level of safety valve equipment to develop multi-function, high efficiency, low consumption equipments. Safety valves will compete on quality and brands for high technology, high parameter, strong corrosion resistance, long lifespan products. For relevant enterprises, they should carry out constantly technology innovation and technical renovation to develop new products. In addition, they must research the technical parameters and working conditions of high parameter valve products to promote constantly renewal and fully realize localization.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>It was reported on Tuesday that Austrian Oil and Gas Group (OMV AG) would not sell gas to Ukraine</strong>. Gerhard Roiss, the CEO of OMV, said: &ldquo;Despite the higher prices we are able to offer to Ukraine, we will not do that. OMV&#39;s mission is to supply natural gas for long-term customers. &rdquo;<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Roiss believes that Ukraine is unlikely to ban Russian&rsquo;s <a href="products.html">transportation pipeline</a> of natural gas toward European. Russia Gazprom has also hinted that they will take all measures to ensure the supply of natural gas.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	If the conflict between Ukraine and Russia becomes more intense, there is a way to ensure adequate gas supply in winter for European countries. That is to reach agreement with Brussels and Gazprom, increasing the gas supply of Nord Stream. Gazprom holds a 51% stake of Nord Stream line, which can transport Russian&rsquo;s natural gas to Europe bypassing Ukraine.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	According to Roiss, OMV&rsquo;s natural gas reserves capacity has reached 88% and is trying to reach 100% by the end of October this year.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	United States Energy Information Administration recently released Forecast Report of Monthly Short-Term Energy. It lowered expected global oil demand to 91.56 million barrels/day this year and 92.96 million barrels/day next year. The agency expected in July that the demand for crude oil would be 91.62 million barrels/day this year and 93.08 million barrels/day next year. Market analysts believe that the weak crude oil demand is putting pressure on oil prices.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The report said it was expected that OPEC would cut crude oil production this year, in order to offset the impact brought by production growth of non-OPEC countries. The agency expected that OPEC crude oil production this year would be 35.84 million barrels/day this year, lower than the previous forecast of 35.93 million barrels/day. United States Energy Information Administration data showed that crude oil production of OPEC last year was 36.12 million barrels/day.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	United States Energy Information Administration said that crude oil production of U.S. was 8.5 million barrels/day, which was the monthly highest since April of 1987. It predicted that the <a href="services/detail/petrochemicals.html">crude oil</a> production of the country would maintain at 8.46 million barrels/day. However, it also raised the average daily oil demand from 18.95 million barrels to 18.98 million.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Moreover, United States Energy Information Administration cut its forecast of average price from $109.55/barrel to $108.11/barrel this year and raised the price in 2015 to $105.00/barrel from $104.92/barrel. The agency also expected that the average benchmark price would decline from $100.98/barrel last month to $100.45/barrel.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	According to the report of Colombian Observer on August 25, Latin American countries show optimism about attracting foreign investment and external technology to develop <a href="products.html">oil industry</a>. <strong>Many countries have modified energy bill in order to attract multinational oil companies to invest. Meanwhile, Latin American countries are also trying to ensure the dominance of governments in cross-border cooperation.</strong><br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	On August 10, the Mexican government announced the end of the 76-year-long monopoly of oil nationalization, allowing foreign capital entering into local oil market. The Mexican government expected that the energy reform would bring $ 50 billion of foreign investment. In addition, advanced technology brought by multinational companies would greatly enhance the exploitation of deepwater oil fields in Mexico Gulf.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Aguilar, the academician of Mexico Monterrey Institute of Technology, explained to reporter, &quot;The emphasis of opening oil market is on allowing foreign purchase and exploitation of oil fields. For foreign investors, they are mainly facing the tax burden. If they pay taxes in accordance with the rate of Mexican state oil company Pemex, it will be a big budget.&quot; Although Mexico has open its oil markets to multinational oil companies, the government ensures that more than 80% of domestic crude oil is under its own control.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Oil-rich Brazil has a lot of deep-sea oil wells, thus many foreign investors are interested in cooperation with the Brazilian national oil company Petrobras. However, the Brazilian government regulations that the state must occupy at least 30% stake in each cross-border cooperation project. Some experts believe that if the government involves too much in the oil industry, large multinational oil companies will weaken the interest in oil exploration in Brazil.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Argentina oil project Vaca Muerta has been successful in attracting American Chevron, Exxon, France Total, Britain - Dutch Shell. The same as Mexico and Brazil, Argentine state-owned oil company YPF takes 70% control of mining rights.<br />

	<strong>It is reported by the Foreign Media on Tuesday (November 25) that the Venezuela and China made changes on oil-for-loan agreement which signed on the same day. </strong>But the terms of the agreement were not changed in essence.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Oil-for-loan financing mechanism was originally founded by the President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela who was deceased. Under the agreement, Venezuela will repay the loan by exporting oil and fuel to China.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Under the original agreement, Venezuelan will export more quantity of <a href="products.html">crude oil</a> than that they required repaying to China and China will repay the excessive money to Venezuela later.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Last month, the agreement between the two countries has been modified. It canceled the term of requirement that Venezuela should export at least 33 million barrels per day of crude oil to China. And Venezuela should only export the oil according to the maturing loans.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	It was said that the two sides also raised the prices of a barrel of crude oil. The market price is $ 50 per barrel in the original agreement that negotiated between the two countries before, but the new reference price is not known currently.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	According to the revised agreement, the two sides also canceled a three-year repayment period for one of the three loans, but the other two repayment period of the loan is still 3 years.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Xi Jinping, the Chinese President, has signed a four-billion-dollar oil-for-loan agreement during his one-day visit to Venezuela. The loan was granted to the Joint Chinese-Venezuela Fund. The fund focuses on infrastructure and economic development in Venezuela. Venezuelan officials said the country would export about 100 thousand barrels of crude oil and refined oil to China to repay the loan.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	It was reported by foreign media on September 1 that the EU was prepared for gas cease of Russia. Therefore, <strong>the EU may ban gas exports and limit the amount used in the industry to assure household energy supply this winter. </strong>Russia is Europe&#39;s largest supplier of oil, coal and natural gas, and the both side emerged disputes due to Russia&rsquo;s action in Ukraine. Pipelines to the West through Ukraine were not the first time used as a bargaining chip in a political game.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Ukrainian authorities warned that Russia planned to stop supply, while Russia said that Ukraine might steal energy supposed to be delivered to the EU countries. The EU has just threatened that if Moscow does not withdraw troops from Ukraine, it will implement new sanctions. Although Europe can quickly find new suppliers of oil and coal, most Southeast Europe countries still depend on the <a href="products.html">gas supplies</a> from Russian state-owned enterprises.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	LNG supply of Qatar and Algeria is shipped to Europe across the Atlantic and the Mediterranean ports, but European buyers often increase prices of these shipments abroad rather than meet domestic market. It is said that European Commission is considering a prohibition against reselling to increase reserves.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	&nbsp;&ldquo;In the short term, we are very worried about the winter supply situation in Southeast Europe.&rdquo; said a messager who is directly aware of EU contingency plan. He disclosed that once the supply was cut off, the EU hoped to prevent outflow of liquefied natural gas and limit industrial gas consumption, in order to protect the family usage.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The EU Energy Executive Committee expressed last week during the negotiations with Russia and Ukraine that the EU is developing &quot;alternative plan&quot; to ensure the supply of natural gas under the worst circumstances. Politicians and industry sources pointed out that regardless of what action the EU may take, if the gas supply of Russian to Europe was cut off, it will be difficult to find an adequate supplement. In view of this threat, natural gas price has risen 35 percent since July.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	When it comes to the market trends of valve products, the future developing trends are expected as follows according to analysts.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	First, as oil development is transferred from mainland oil fields to offshore oil fields, and the power industry is converted from thermal power under 300,000 kilowatts to hydropower and nuclear power over 300,000 kilowatts, products for device applications should accordingly change their performance and parameters, such as breathing valves, flame arresters, filters, pipes mirrors, etc.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Second, urban systems generally use a large number of low-pressure valves and tend to <strong>environmentally friendly and energy-saving development</strong>. That means low-pressure iron gate valves used in past are gradually shifting to environment-friendly plastic sheet valves, balance valves, metal sealed <a href="butterfly-valves.html">butterfly valves</a> and middle sealing butterfly valves. Oil and gas projects are turning to pipeline direction, which requires a lot of flat <a href="gate-valves.html">gate valves</a> and <a href="ball-valves.html">ball valves</a>.<br />
	　<br />
	Third, the other side of energy development is energy saving. Thus, in terms of energy conservation, steam trap should be developed for <strong>subcritical and supercritical high parameters</strong>.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Fourth, construction of power plants is becoming larger scale. So, besides large diameter and high pressure safety valves and pressure relief valves, quickly opening and closing valves are also required.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Fifth, valve supply should be developed from a single species to <strong>multi-species and multi-standards</strong> to meet complete project demands. The trend that a project adopts valves from a single pump manufacturer is increasing.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Represented by <a href="fasteners.html">fasteners</a>, basic components are not only the basis of China&#39;s equipment manufacturing industry but also important foundation of the national economy in various fields. During the Twelfth Five-year Period, loaders, excavators, rollers and other construction machinery products will reach 6 million units, with annual sales of around 50,000 units. The estimated annual demand for high-strength fasteners is about 20,000 ~ 30,000 tons.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	In recent years, the government has given some support to the introduction of technology, technological innovation, research and development and other areas, but there is still a large gap compared with the current market demand and abroad level, particular in less product variety, low quality instability and poor reliability.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	During the Twelfth Five-year Period, <strong>the industry should maintain the cost advantage and achieve sustainable development relying on technological progress, quality improvement, cost performance and other new advantages. </strong>The whole industry is expected to reach 7.5-8 million of total output by the end of 2015. Under the overall situation of expanding exports, exported products will show a choppy growth. It is estimated that the average export growth rate will come to 8% to 10%, and the industry&#39;s total exports in 2015 will reach 30 billion yuan.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	At present, due to finance or other reasons, domestic fastener factory mainly use domestic and Taiwanese equipments to produce fasteners. To guarantee mass production of high-end products, monitoring measures and mold production levels should be improved. And substandard goods should be eliminated to ensure the assembly quality.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	With the huge market demand, ensuring the orderly development of China&#39;s fastener industry will be a main problem we faced. To release relevant stringent industry standards and improve the industrial chain will be a strong supporting point.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/venezuela-will-bid-farewell-to-the-era-of-cheap-gasoline.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	In Venezuela, the price of one liter of No. 95 gasoline, No. 91 gasoline or diesel fuel is less than 0.1 yuan. A bottle of mineral water costs seven Bolivar (about 7 yuan), which is equivalent to 72 liters of gasoline. However, this situation is changing. <strong>President Maduro recently proposed &quot;To Discuss the Issue of Gasoline Prices in the Whole Country.</strong>&quot; Maduro said, &quot;The government will listen to public opinion before making a decision on the price adjustment.&quot;<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The cheap oil is guaranteed by actual strength. Venezuela&#39;s proven <a href="products.html">oil reserves</a> have reached 298.3 billion barrels, ranking top in the world. The daily production is about 3 million barrels. Currently, the price of gasoline in Saudi Arabia, Peru and Chile is respectively about 10 times, 100 times and 100 times of Venezuela&rsquo;s.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Venezuela has implemented the policy of cheap gasoline for 68 years. In December 1945, Betancourt government promulgated the decree for declining gasoline price, which dropped the gasoline price in Caracas from 0.2 Bolivar to 0.1 Bolivar. The government believed that, as a powerful oil producing country, it is normal to sell gasoline to the public at international market prices. The international oil prices continued to rise and the oil production increased annually in the next 30 years, but the local people always enjoyed cheap gasoline.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Serrano, Venezuelan oil economic expert, believes that cheap gasoline makes Venezuelans develop a habit of high consumption. Venezuela&#39;s population is only about 30 million, but the vehicle population is more than 4.1 million. Statistics show that Venezuela&rsquo;s per capita consumption of fuel oil is over three times than that of the average level of Latin American. The average monthly consumption for each vehicle is about 300 liters of gasoline, which exceeds that of the United States.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Today, cheap gasoline has been difficult to sustain. President Maduro has to take risks to proceed up-regulated gasoline prices. Venezuela&#39;s average daily oil comsumption has grown from 0.4 million barrels in 2002 to the current 0.73 million barrels. However, Venezuela&#39;s oil production didn&rsquo;t grow for eight years and the export capacity decreased. The government faces financial issue, which makes it difficult to protect foreign exchange of basic food imports, let along large sums of money to maintain subsidies for cheap gas.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Right now, Venezuelan people hold different views for price adjustment. An opinion poll agency recently released a report, which shows that there are still 53% of people disapproving rising price. <strong>It can be seem that the government has many difficulties in coming over national economy plight by oil price adjustment.</strong><br />

      <guid>news/industry-news/opec-secretary-general-oil-prices-will-rebound.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	According to the report of Wall Street Journal on September 13, Abdalla Salem el-Badri, the OPEC Secretary General, recently said the oil prices would rebound before the end of this year, and therefore OPEC didn&rsquo;t intend to hold an emergency meeting.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	It is reported that the most widely used international oil benchmark- Brent Crude Oil has fallen below $ 100 per barrel last week. Badri believed that the seasonal factor was the main reason of falling oil prices. He said he was not very worried about this problem. He said, &ldquo;To judge the market trend according to the performance in July and August is not accurate, because <a href="products.html">oil refineries</a> were generally under overhaul during this period and other factors might also influence it.&rdquo;<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Affected by seasonal factors, oil demand will usually rise in early October, when the OPEC Secretariat will again assess the market situation. Badri said, OPEC would carefully observe market conditions in early October. However, he also hinted that <strong>the oil price would rebound mechanically if it met a further decline</strong>. He disclosed that crude oil production with higher cost would be out of the markets if the oil prices declined.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	According to the data of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the breakeven price of U.S. shale oil projects normally reaches $ 80 per barrel. Badri said that the average price this year still overall remianed a healthy level. The average annual price of OPEC crude oil is still $ 104.8 per barrel, which is enough to make the majority of OPEC member states to maintain a balanced budget.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>West-East Gas Project Line Three is being pushed and will provide high-quality and stable double gas supply system to .</strong> It is heard from  Municipal Development and Reform Commission that  has completed 3.4 billion yuan of investment for key projects such as ecology, environmental protection, energy and other areas from January to August, which is 78% of the annual plan.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	A responsible person of Municipal Development and Reform Commission said, &ldquo;To implement the ecological civilization construction and jointly promote the &quot;Beautiful &quot; construction, among all 238 projects,  arranges 27 key projects in ecological construction, environmental protection and energy conservation fields, which are viewed as priority services.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Four ecological construction projects including Xiangshan Landscape Improvement, Sea Dredging Renovation, Yundang Lake Basin Rehabilitation and Gaodian Water Plant Expansion have exceeded investment. The Sea Dredging Renovation Project has completed an investment of 1.3 billion yuan this year, total 5.9 billion yuan, which is now under dredging promotion. Yundang Lake Basin Rehabilitation Project, with total investment of 0.33 billion yuan, has basically completed dredging interception of northern and southern main drainage channel and electromechanical engineering.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	In the aspect of energy-saving and new energy projects, West-East <a href="products.html">Gas Project</a> Line Three is expected to be completed before the end of this year under the efforts of Jimei, Haicang and Tongan districts. Meanwhile, Huadian Distributed Energy is accelerating the heating pipeline construction and equipment installation and construction. In addition, a number of key preparatory projects in ecological, environmental protection, energy conservation and new energy fields are under preparatory work.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Saudi Arabia shows that it will adapt to lower oil price for a long time. Saudi government changing it policies sharply aims at slowing down competitors expanding, including American shale oil enterprises.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Some members of OPEC, including Venezuela appeal production reduction to promote oil price to rise to 100 dollars per barrel.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	However, Saudi officials delivered different information, when they met investors and analysts. Saudi Arabia had already prepared for oil price lower than 90 dollars per barrel, even lower than 80 dollars. Saudi Arabia could endure for one or two years.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	These speeches are the clearest signals so far. Saudi Arabia abandoned the policy that maintained Brent oil at a price of near 100 dollars and accepted lower price. The measure is to maintain market shares for years to come.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Insiders disclose that Saudi seems to bet on lower price which may cause fiscal tightening in some members of OPEC. It is a necessary measure to acquire more profits in mid-term. Through depressing price, Saudi can restrict new investments and restrain market supply of American shale oil or deep-sea oil to grow further.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The speech of Saudi officials did not refer to the information whether Saudi agreed production reduction or the quantity of production reduction. Previously, many analysts predicted that Saudi reducing production could support global oil market. Nowadays, oil production has already exceeded consumption substantially. <a href="products.html">Oil production</a> of Saudi Arabia accounts for one third of production of OPEC, about 9.7 million barrels per day. &nbsp;<br />

      <guid>news/industry-news/china-shale-gas-development-cant-copy-american-model.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	A veteran of China&#39;s Ministry of Land that leads the development of shale gas said that <strong>China&rsquo;s shale gas development could not copy the American model</strong>. It is hopeful but very difficult to complete the goal of 6.5 billion cubic meters set by &quot;Twelfth Five Year Plan&quot;.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Zhang Hongtao, state counselor and former chief engineer of Ministry of Land, disclosed at 2014 China International Mining Conference held in Tianjin that China&rsquo;s <a href="">shale gas development </a>can not copy the American model, because China&#39;s shale gas resource has its own characteristics. Although the reserves are vast, their distribution is scattered. There are many geological rifts, and the reserves are also destroyed. Thus, China needs to find out the conditions for shale gas exploration, and then considers the effective use.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	&quot;The first thing is to be cautious, followed by positive attitude&quot;, Zhang Hongtao said. He added that the main technical aspects of the development of shale gas are fracturing and horizontal drilling. However, these technologies will cause damage and pollution to underground structures including water resources.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Previously, Chinese government established a goal for the development of shale gas, namely achieving 6.5 billion cubic meters of production in 2015 and striving to reach 60-100 billion cubic meters in 2020. At present, there are only one or two China&#39;s formed shale gas fields, whose output is still far less than the above-mentioned plan.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	It is worth noting that China&#39;s National Energy Administration has quietly lowered its shale gas production target in 2020. Wu Xinxiong, director of National Energy Administration said in August, &ldquo;Shale gas production will reach 30 billion cubic meters by 2020.&rdquo; Zhang Hongtao expressed that he totally applauded the government&rsquo;s reducing the production target of shale gas.<br />

	According to the news released by Canadian TransCanada Company, <strong>British Columbia (BC) provincial environmental assessment office has permitted TransCanada&rsquo;s application of coast <a href="products.html">natural gas pipeline</a> - Coastal GasLink</strong> - on 23th. This is BC&#39;s first proposed pipeline within two years after launching the development strategy of liquefied natural gas.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The Coastal GasLink is about 675 km, starting from Dawson Creek in the northeast of BC and ending at Kitimat Port located on the west coast. The diameter is 1219 mm, with an initial design capacity of 2-3 million cubic ft / day. The capacity can be extended to five million cubic feet per day. The scored EIA license comes with 32 conditions, including wildlife conservation and community, information and benefit sharing for aborigines and local government, etc. The pipeline is planned to invest 4.7 billion Canadian dollars, and will become the liquefied natural gas export project on the west coast of BC. The proposed LNG Canada project is jointly established by Shell Canada Limited, China National Petroleum Corporation, Korea Gas Corporation and Japan Mitsubishi Corporation.<br />
	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
	It was reported on BC environmental assessment office website that there are currently two natural gas pipeline projects undergoing environmental assessment review, namely Prince Rupert Gas Transmission and Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission Project. There are also three pre-application projects submitted, including Eagle Mountain - Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project, Pacific Northern Gas Looping Project and Kingsvale to Oliver Natural Gas Pipeline Reinforcement Project.<br />

	Brent crude oil continuously fell for three days. However,<strong> the OPEC members do not want to cut production even if the oil prices have fallen into a bear market.</strong> In London futures markets, oil prices fell as much as 0.7 percent today. Suhail Al Mazrouei, energy minister of OPEC, said, &ldquo;The oversupply of the global market is not caused by us.&rdquo;<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	According to the forecast of Bloomberg News Agency, the US crude oil inventories have increased by 1.1 million barrels within the week, with continuous growth for 6 weeks. Impacted by the speculation that the growth of global oil supply will be faster than that of demand, Brent crude oil has fallen nearly by 30% compared with the high point in June.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	The major OPEC countries boycott production cuts and reduced export prices to the US. Crude <a href="products.html">oil production</a> of OPEC members accounts for 40% of global output. OPEC members plan to hold a meeting on November 27 in Vienna.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	RicSpooner, chief strategist of CMC Markets, said to Bloomberg that OPEC was the key at present. Huge price fluctuations mean that this meeting will be very important. Market believes that OPEC will not take any action or the action taken will be insufficient to bring any substantive impact.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	OPEC&#39;s largest oil producer Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have already hinted that they are unlikely to reduce production. OPEC member Libya, Venezuela and Ecuador called for action to prevent further decline of oil prices. Anibal Octavioda Silva, deputy minister of Angolan Petroleum Ministry, said yesterday that the OPEC had not yet reached agreements on production cuts.<br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Data collected by Bloomberg show that OPEC oil production was 30.974 million barrels per day in October, which was higher than the 30 million barrels of target set in January 2012.<br />

	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	2. Good cut function</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Cut function reflects the intrinsic quality of a valve. The standard leak rate for a full-featured ultra light control valve is 10, which is 100-1000 times higher than single/double seat valve and high sleeve valve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	3. Big differential pressure</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The function of overcoming differential pressure is the prerequisite of cut function and it has a close relationship with cut function. It is fine for double seat valve to have big differential pressure and high leak rate. For single seat valve, if the leak rate is small, it is allowed to have small differential pressure. Full-featured ultra light control valve provides a better solution to solve the problem of big differential pressure but small leak rate.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	4. Strong corrosion resistance</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Corrosion resistance function can protect the valve from medium corrosion, erosion and cavitation and prolong its service time. Full-featured ultra light <a href="control-valve-three-way-or-two-way-fig-680-fig680fv.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">control valve</span></a> has a good resistance function because of its corrosion and erosion resistance materials.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	5. High compression strength</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The function of high compression strength is the safety guarantee for a valve. The single integrated structure of a full-featured ultra light control valve can improve the structural integrity of the pressure boundaries and increase its compression strength.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	6. Good heat resistance</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	With the good heat resistance, the <a href="valves.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">valve</span></a> can adapt to different temperature. With the rigid and fixable connecting seal way, the full-featured ultra light control valve will not have the problem that the valve core and seat got stuck when in high temperature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	7. Good appearance and light weight</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	This function reflects the features of miniaturization, light-weight and instrumentation for a valve. With the integrated design of valve structure and appearance, as well as having a simple, reliable and direct way to connect to the actuator, the full-featured ultra light control valve has the advantages of compact structure, small size, light weight and good appearance.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	<strong>With the trend of mechatronics and the development of microelectronics technology and computer technology, more and more problems are emerging in using valve, such as low control precision, inconvenient field debugging and imperfect diagnosis methods, etc.</strong> All these make the original electric valve be increasingly unable to meet the development needs of modern industry and finally approach to elimination. So, for electric valve, one of the important mechanical industry products, it is very important to make an effective transformation to improve its intellectualized degree and to have computerized control process, digital communication faction, intelligent diagnosis treatment and remote detection.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	There are only three actual <a href="products.html">valve</a> positions for a valve: on, off and middle position and valve position is controlled by the output torque of valve motor. At present, our country often works on this working mode- &ldquo;travel switch controls valve motor, torque switch protects valve&rdquo;. However, travel switch and torque switch are usually installed on electric actuator, which makes the valve position signal can not get directly from valve shift. Thus, the indicated valve for valve position will be inaccurate and the valve cannot be closed or opened completely. If the selection of output torque is too small, it would be different to close/open the valve and finally make the motor burned; if it is too big, the local structure of valve will be destroyed easily once the control of the electric actuator is fail.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	On the other hand, with this working mode, the micro groove will be appeared in pipeline walls because of the long-term action oppression from straight travel globe valve and gate and that will make the valve cannot be closed completely which will lead to leakage problem. Leakage is one source of the industrial pollutions. Valve Leakage can make the medium flow out and give rise to the growth of consumption, the increase of cost and the decrease of economic benefits of enterprises. What&rsquo;s more, it is easy to cause fire, explosion, poisoning, personal injury or death and other accidents because of the outflow of inflammable, explosive, toxic and harmful medium. Strong corrosive medium leakage can accelerate the corrosion rate of plant and equipment and shorten their service life. Therefore, leakage problems can not be ignored, because it seriously threaten the safety and process of production. For a long time, solution for this problem is always started with valve. Optimize the design of <a href="">valve</a> structure, choose right valve material on the basis of different process conditions, enhance the level of quality control in valve manufacturing process and improve the type of valve according to process conditions in chemical production process. Although these methods have effectively eliminated the leakage, however, if we can start with changing the control mode of valve position, it will have a better result because we can control the valve position directly and take steps for it according to the feedback information. At the same time, it is required to change the control mode to meet the requirements of automatic production.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div>
	Compared with other valves, electric valves meet the industry demand of automation and have the virtue of easy assembly and low failure rate. <strong>With the development of science and technology, electric valves will have long-term service life with high tech content, high parameter and strong corrosion resistance.</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The market prospect of electric valves is considerable. Industry sources say that based on temperature, pressure, flow and other parameters, valves are mainly used to control the process and flow of all kinds of fluid in industrial process, such as water, oil, chemical liquid, etc. Pressure relief valves, temperature pneumatic valves, solenoid valves with temperature system, proportional control valves with temperature system, temperature control valves and other kinds of <a href="ball-valves.html">control valves</a> are usually used in a plant. When choosing automatic valves, we should not only take the accuracy, quality, pressure drop, flow, structure, failure rate, after-sale service into consideration, but also the type of heat engines and the reputation of manufacturers, etc. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of being economical and practical.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	In terms of the product itself, electric valve, with easy assembly and low failure rate merits, meets the industry needs of automation. Therefore, it is a more economical choice for companies and thus gives rise to the growth of valve demand. Not like common and traditional pneumatic valves, motor-drived automatic valves are easier to assemble. Also, instead of being composed of piping, solenoid valve, compressor and other things, automatic vales are only required to assemble with original control circuit, which can save costs.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	According to <em>The current situation and future development trend forecast of China electric closed valve industry in 2011-2016</em>, which was released by China report hall, <a href="electrical-actuated-ball-valve-a216-wcb-6-inch-300.html">electric valves</a> will move in the direction of having high tech content, high parameter, strong corrosion resistance and long-period service life with the continuous development of market, science and technology. In recent years, the market demand for electric valves is soaring. Also, in the wake of developments in mechatronics, electric valves, one of the most important mechanical products, are encountered in unprecedented market. However, on the other hand, huge market demand means high requirement.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Automatic control valves are becoming an indispensable part of operational efficiency and energy saving. In terms of installation cost and working efficiency, hand-operated valves and pneumatic valves, which are usually used in traditional industry, can not be compared with electric valves.</div>

		In construction period<br />
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		1. Something wrong with transportation and hoisting and it gives rise to the overall damage.</div>
	<div>
		2. When leaving the factory, there is no measure to be taken to dry the natural gas <a href="ball-valves.html">ball valve</a> and to do antiseptic treatment, so, the sealing surface is rusted.</div>
	<div>
		3. Lacking protection on construction site. No blind plate is installed on both ends of the natural gas ball valve and impurities get into the valve seat, such as rain, sand and so on.</div>
	<div>

      <link>news/industry-news/the-development-trend-of-valve.html</link>
      <guid>news/industry-news/the-development-trend-of-valve.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	With the development of nuclear industry, petrochemical industry, electronic industry and aerospace industry, as well as the development of process technology of automatic control and long-distance fluid transmission, modern cryogenic valves, vacuum valves, nuclear valves and control valves with all kinds of types have made a progress. More and more valve actuators have been applied for remote and program control. <strong>And the following is the development trend of valve</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	1. Expand product parameters. For example, the largest diameter of a valve can up to 10 meters, while the minimum working pressure can be 1.33&times;10-8 palmer. Ball valves and butterfly valves are moving in the direction of high temperature and pressure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	2. Manufacture automatic control valves which can save energy and effort. People produce <a href="ball-valves.html">ball valves</a>, butterfly valves and drain valves to reduce the fluid transportation energy consumption and heat lost. Coincidently, the research for electric power, pressure, hydraulic driven valves and controls valves are also needed in order to meet the development of automatic industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	3. Improve valve structure and use new material and technology to prolong its service life. For example: adopting elastic and lubricant structure to reduce the sealing force and torque and using plastic, titanium alloy and other materials as the manufacturing materials. Also, using new material, like expanded graphite, to pad the <a href="valves.html">valve</a>. As for the sealing surface material, cemented carbide and Teflon are surely recommended. At last, various new surface strengthening techniques are adopted to improve the service life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	4. Develop special valve series. Such as cryogenic valves, vacuum valves, nuclear valves, <a href="safety-valves.html">safety vales</a>, control valves, drain valves and valve actuators which are dedicated to liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, liquefied natural gas and other situations.</div>
<div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/the-functions-and-methods-of-steel-pipe-coating.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Steel pipe coating is an anti-corrosion coating treatment, preventing steel pipes form corrosion or damage in the process of storage and transportation.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	In the past，<a href="pipe.html">steel pipes</a> are all brushed artificially one by one by black bituminous paint. This work not only requires a lot of labor, but also takes up a considerable amount of plant area. Besides, because of the opaque asphalt paint, users are difficult to see the surface condition of steel pipes. At the same time, printing logo work must be carried out after the drying of coating. Although electrostatic painting equipments and high pressure spray devices are introduced later, there are still lots of problems in the process of use, such as: long drying time, not idea environmental protection and corrosion resistance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Therefore, China did a lot of research and development work in this aspect, in terms of coating materials, manufacturers have developed translucent and transparent water soluble fast-drying paint which is suitable for spray coating. Also, a new kind of automatic device with high pressure spray coating and paint recycling has been developed to meet the manufacturing requirement. For technology, steel preheating spraying technology (intermediate frequency) has been developed with good safety, high quality coating and clean surrounding environment.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/maintenance-of-gas-pressure-relief-valve.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(1) <strong>Breathing hole atop the gas pressure relief valve is used to adjust the amount of air to ensure the pressure can be controlled and the valve will not be clogged. </strong>In the past, many users do not understand the functions of the breathing hole above and don&#39;t want to clean the valve even it is dirty enough. Some people use a cloth to clean it, but carelessly, the breathing hole can be clogged during this process and thus will lead to unexpected accidents. Therefore, during the cleaning, if there is clogging, you should use a fine wire to deal with this problem, but be careful and don&#39;t puncture or damage the rubber film inside the valve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(2) If the position of the LPG cylinders isn&rsquo;t meet the requirement, it is possible to make the liquefied petroleum gas flow into the <a href="">gas pressure relief valve</a>, causing dissolution and expansion of rubber seal ring so that the gap of air inlet will be smaller or blocked, and finally influence the normal use of the valve. Further more, it is easy to make the rubber seal ring broken. Due to the corrosive effect of LPG, there will appear potholes and leakage problem after long-term use. Therefore, the gas pressure relief valve should be checked regularly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(3) Aging of rubber film is a common reason for leakage problem of gas pressure relief valve. It is understood that many users will upside down the cylinders and use hot water or fire to heat the cylinder in order to run out of the last gas, which would make the debris at the bottle enter into the <a href="valves.html">valve</a> cavity and age the diaphragm after a long time use and finally cause leakage problem. For security, all these practices are not allowed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(4) The structure of gas pressure relief valve is quite rigorous and the valve must be carefully assembled, debugged and rigorously tested before leaving the factory. So users are not allowed to disassemble or twist the connecting parts randomly, such as screws and other things, so as not to reduce the performance of sealing and decompression, as well as to avoid the fire accident which is caused by high-pressure direct air supply during disassembling process.<br />

      <guid>news/industry-news/development-prospect-of-safety-valves-in-three-industries.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>In recent 10 years, with the development of China&#39;s valve industry, the specification and application field of safety valves are continuously increasing. </strong>And the valves have been widely used in petrochemical, oil refining, nuclear, thermal power and other industries. However, with more industrial applications, new requirements have been put forward for safety valves, as well as the quality and technical requirements. And the following is the development prospect of safety valves in these three industries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Petrochemical industry: there has always been fierce competition in petrochemical industry and the requirement for valve equipment is highly strict. In the future, the <a href="safety-valves.html">safety valves</a> will be complied with industrial automation to improve the overall level of valve equipments and the development of petrochemical valve equipments with multi-function, high efficiency and low consumption is the future trend. The annual output value of Chinese petrochemical enterprises is about one hundred billion yuan and this means there is a big market for safety valves in China (valves, pumps). Therefore, considering from the market changes, we should develop the safety valve market with assurance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Oil refining industry: after 60 years of development, oil refining industry has a larger production scale. And under the promotion of a series of policies and measures, the production and output value of China&#39;s oil refining industry continue to grow in 2010, as well as its development momentum. In 2010, the output value of oil refining industry has reached 2.4252 trillion yuan, with year-on-year growth of more then 38 percent. From this point we can see that there is also a big market for safety valves in oil refining industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Nuclear power industry: as the infrastructure of the nuclear power equipments, safety valves take roughly 5-10% volume in this industry. China will continue the project of nuclear power development and plans to finish the goal of 40GW and 75GW in 2015 and 2020 respectively about power installed capacity. So, new products and equipments of safety valves have to be developed to meet the market demand.</div>
<div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>The future market prospect of China&#39;s valve industry is great and this is largely thanks to:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	1. National policy support. With the national policy of accelerating the revitalization of equipment manufacturing industry, the development of common basic manufacturing will be further treated as a key project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	2. Along with the sustained and stable development of state economy, as well as the fixed asset investment gradually expand, and there is a strong market demand for <a href="">valve</a> products. In particular, these three great projects &quot;West-East Gas Pipeline Project &quot;, &quot;West to East Power Transmission &quot;, &quot;South-to-North Water Diversion &quot; and other projects require a lot of valve products and fittings. In addition, faced with the arrival of the industrial era, petrochemical and chemical industry, power and metallurgy sector, and urban construction will also enhance the demand for valve products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	3. Entering into the WTO, as well as lowering the threshold for international trade and adjusting the structure of products, China is gradually becoming the world&#39;s largest factory with greater development space to manufacture <a href="valves.html">valve</a> products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Therefore, as long as valve companies can seize the opportunities, strengthen the research and development capabilities, and constantly improve the technological content of products and product quality, they will be able to gain the initiative in the broader market competition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Enterprises with technological innovation capability can have long-term competitive advantages. Only enterprises can use high technology to transform traditional industries, and actively introduce, digest and absorb foreign advanced technology and equipment, improve the level of equipment, accelerate technological innovation, optimize and upgrade at the valve industry as well the products, improve the value-added of products, will they have a long-term competitive advantage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Leading valve enterprises will be rapidly developed. These enterprises not only have advantages in size but also in technology and capital. As the market gradually improves the quality demand for valve products, these valve leading companies will have the development opportunity in the fierce competition.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>There are four points for the maintenance of Y-strainers</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(1) Clean: there should be no oil or dirty on the sliding surfaces, screws, racks, gear boxes, oil holes and so on. Also, for each component, there is no leak problem. And the chips, debris, dirt around the devices should be cleaned.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(2) Neat: tools, accessories, artifacts (products) should be placed neatly, as well as the pipelines and wirings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(3) Good lubrication: you need to refuel or change the oil on time to ensure that the oil pressure is normal, oil subscript is bright, as well as the oil flows smoothly and the oil quality is in line with the requirements. Also, you need to keep the oil gun, cup and felt clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	(4) Safety: you need to comply with the safety rules and do not heavy use the machine, eliminating the insecurity in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Device maintenance generally includes routine maintenance, periodic maintenance, periodic inspection and accurate inspection. What&rsquo;s more, lubrication and cooling systems maintenance are important as well. Instead of drove by other external energy, such as power, gas supply, <a href="strainers.html">Y-type strainers</a> can be drove by their own energy, which is really energy-saving, environmentally friendly and easy to operate. After setting up the pressure value, Y-type strainers can be run automatically. With small requirements in accurate control, power and gas supply, Y-type strainers are getting popularized. During use, however, you need to pay attention to the selection and installation environment, otherwise it will lead to accidents easily. All in all, it is important to learn the working principle and structure of Y-type strainers.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>High precision sanitary valves nowadays play a very important role in the medical, food, health and other industries, especially in those industries which have high demands for valve fittings. So what is the charm for high precision sanitary valves?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	High precision sanitary valves refer to those valve fittings which are used in the pharmaceutical, food and other industries which have high hygiene level requirements. Generally, the wholesale procurement is from pharmaceutical and food factory and they usually buy it to maintain the associated equipments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<a href="valves.html">High precision sanitary valves</a> are used for wine, vinegar and other liquid. This kind of valve can be divided into two parts: the upper part is opening and closing plate while the lower part is the body that can be composed of cover, main housing and spool. And there is a vent hole on the liquid pipe wall of the main housing and a pulling rod is fixed on the spool. Also, there have holes on the top center of the cover. Opening and closing plate is placed on the body cover to connect the pulling rod which is fixed with handle and vent plug. High precision sanitary valves are used to cut off the air so that the taste of the spices can be kept and prolong storage time. At the same time, during tapping process, the air will flow into the container and make the discharge smooth. With simple structure, easy operation, high precision sanitary valves also have a good sealing performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	High precision sanitary valves are special valves with strong acid and alkali resistance and high temperature performance. Using 304 and 316L raw materials, the high-precision requirements can be guaranteed to the maximum extent. Also with the further use of high precision sanitary valves, more promotion for high precision sanitary valves is needed so as to ensure its position in the industry.&nbsp;<br />

      <guid>news/industry-news/characteristics-and-standard-of-flexible-flanges.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Flexible flanges are mainly used in the fields of oil, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industrial businesses. </strong>With further demand of industrial production, new requirements have been put forward for flexible flanges. If you want to know the characteristics of flexible flanges, first you need to know some knowledge about the flange standard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	There are two international systems about <a href="flanges.html">flange</a> standard, one is called the European flange system (represented by Germany DIN) while the other one is named the Americas flange system (represented by US ANSI). In addition, with less influence in the world, there also has Japanese JIS flange which is generally used in public works. And the following is the flange usage for different countries:<br />
	1. the European flange standard (represented by Germany).<br />
	2. Americas flange standard (represented by ANSI B16.5 and ANSI B 16.47)<br />
	3. Britain and France flange standards, and each of the two countries have two sets of flange standard.<br />
	In summary, the internationally accepted flange standard can be summed up into two different types: a representative of Germany&#39;s European flange system and the other is the America flange system which is represented by America.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	As a good representative of flanges, flexible flanges use flanging and steel rings to get the flange and pipeline connected. In this case, flanging and steel rings are actually served as the sealing surface and keep the flanges away from the media. Because the flange can be active and they are not directly connect with pipelines, so they are called flexible flanges. Normally, flexible flanges can be divided into two parts: plate and flanging. Just make one end of the flange to connect with pipeline and cover the plate on the flanging, thus the flange can be active.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	After years of development, flexible flanges can basically meet the requirements of the market demand. However, if they want to win a place in international market, continued effort is still needed. We do believe that in the support of all walks of life, flexible flanges will surely play a more important role in the development of industries.</div>

      <guid>news/industry-news/the-composition-of-spring-micro-open-safety-valve.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<a href="safety-valves.html">Spring micro open safety valve</a> is very practical and its working principle is special. With reflux of the pressure, a C-type slope will be shaped by two inflection points so as to effectively control the opening and closing of a valve. Therefore this kind of valve is relatively sensitive to the pressure and has a wide range of application in a lot of important industries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Spring micro open safety valve also has its own unique characteristics. Different from other safety valves in function and composition, this kind of safety valve has his own good performance. And the following is the three compositions of a spring micro-open safety valve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>The first one is mechanical fixture.</strong> It is also a base for safety valve, which can be effectively used to connect the valve to various machines, equipments, etc. Generally, the available length of this kind of mechanical fixture can up to ten meters and it is very practical.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>The second one is a hydraulic power unit</strong>, and it can be said the core of a safety valve. The most important safety function is realized by this unit. By adjusting the hydraulic pressure, hydraulic power unit can effectively control the movement of the spring and then open a safety valve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>The last one is a data acquisition and processing unit</strong>, which can be equivalent to the brain of a safety valve. Data collection and feedback are all worked here. If you want to know the speed and sensibility of a spring micro-open safety valve, you need to see the setting in this unit is right or not.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<div>
		<strong>High pressure control valve mainly includes pneumatic high pressure control valve and electric high pressure control valve. The following I will introduce them separately.</strong></div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		Pneumatic high pressure control valve mainly aims at the general control valve in high pressure or high causticity working conditions. The research and development of the pneumatic high pressure control valve quickly improve the control valve&rsquo;s capability. In the bad working conditions, pneumatic high pressure control valve can work in safe, reliable and steady. As the pneumatic high pressure control valve takes the single structure design, medium can import and export from the pipeline with smaller resistance. Owing to this unique capability, pneumatic high pressure control valve can do a good control valve&rsquo;s job in various high viscosity with suspending or granulate medium. It also has significant effects in the clinkering blockage prevention.</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		Electric high pressure control valve has the same theory as pneumatic high pressure control valve. It can also work in all kinds of high pressure, high-pressure differential and high corrosion conditions. Electric high pressure control valve take the urea system, its service life increase 2 to 3 times than general control valve. Thanks to the electric high pressure control valve adopts the electric actuator with amplifier which can control signal and power source. It mainly uses the single - phase 220V as the power; it can receive 4 to 20mA DC signal; it can automatic control the open and close of the valve so as to become a continuous control valve to control the pressure, flow, temperature and liquid level. Automatic regulating system is the key point of its unique productive process. Electric high pressure control valve widely uses in automatic control system of industry department in oil, chemical, metallurgy, electricity, medical, food and so on.</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		We mainly analyze some characteristic and application of pneumatic and electric high pressure control valve above. Then, we want to introduce the installation considerations of high pressure control valve.</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		<a href="">High pressure control valve</a> requires the temperature should between -25~60℃ and relative humidity should less than 95%. If the valve install in outdoors or under the high temperature, we should take the waterproof and cooling measure. High pressure control valve primarily use the vertical installation. In some special circumstances,we can also take the slanting installation, but if the &nbsp;gradient angle is large or the volume and the weight of the valve is heavy, we should take certain supports as the protection. When we install an electric high pressure control valve, we should act according the electrical equipment construction requirements. Remember to add some oiling after we overhaul the actuator of it. Do not install the high pressure control valve far away from the ground, especially not over 1.8 meter than the ground, so as to easily use hand wheel to repair it.</div>

	With different materials and raw materials used in the production process, flanges can have different values and functions in the industry to satisfy the diverse needs of users.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Materials of stainless steel flanges:</strong> stainless steel flanges are made of stainless steel (304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321), 16MN, Q235 and A106. In the process, you need to add some special raw materials to ensure the tees are with good functions. D, 5D, 6D bends, alloy elbows, stainless steel elbows, alloy pipes, reducing tees and other materials can also be customized to customers&rsquo; requirements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Application of stainless steel flanges:</strong> stainless steel flanges are widely used in petroleum, chemical, nuclear power plants, food manufacturing, construction, shipbuilding, papermaking, pharmaceutical and other industries. With different functions in various industries, the value of stainless steel flanges has been fully displayed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Purposes of stainless steel flanges:</strong> stainless steel flanges, with a wide range of application, can be used in water, soft drinks, beer, food, petrochemical, nuclear power, machinery, medical equipment, fertilizer, shipbuilding, water treatment, pipelines and so on. From small diameter to large size, stainless steel flanges can be applied to high vacuum or high pressure situation. Being one of the relatively new species of ball valves, stainless steel flanges have their own exclusive superiority because of their special structure, such as no friction switches, small opening and closing torque. Thus, you could reduce the actuators&rsquo; specification and use multi-turn actuators to regulate the media.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Made of different materials, <a href="flanges.html">stainless steel flanges</a> can have different sizes and models. Also, in order to be adapted to different industries, they could be produced with different scales. Because of their relatively smooth surface, good aesthetics and texture, stainless steel flanges will provide users with good satisfaction.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	GB flanges, often used in pairs to connect pipes in pipeline projects, are disk-shaped components. Flanges with different pressures have different thickness and bolts. A projecting rim, collar, or ring on a shaft, which can provide places for the attachment of other objects are all called flanges, such as ventilation pipe connections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The new standard <a href="flanges.html">flange</a> connection is an important connection for pipeline construction. Using bolts to connect two pipelines, fittings or equipment together is called flange connection, also between these two flanges, you need to add flange gaskets to fasten the connection. Some fittings and equipment which already have flange plates themselves also belong to flange connection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>The new standard flange can be divided into screw connection flange and welded flange.</strong> Low pressure and small diameter situation is suitable for wire flange while welded flange is more often used in high/low pressure and large diameter situation. Flanges with different pressure will have different thickness, as well as the diameter and quantity of connected bolts. Depending on the level of pressure, flange gaskets will also have various materials, such as low pressure asbestos gaskets, high pressure asbestos gasket, metal gaskets and so on. Available to withstand great pressure, flange connection is easy to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	New standard flange connection has a wide application in the industrial pipeline. Within the family, it is not possible to see the flange connection because of the small pipe diameter and low-pressure. But if you are in a boiler room or production site, flanged pipes and equipment will be scattered everywhere.<br />

      <title><![CDATA[Three Types of Valve Connection]]></title>
      <link>news/industry-news/three-types-of-valve-connection.html</link>
      <guid>news/industry-news/three-types-of-valve-connection.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<div>
		<strong>1. Threaded Connection</strong></div>
	<div>
		Threaded connection usually process the end of inlet &amp; outlet valves into taper pipe threads, which can make it screwed into the screwed joint of taper pipe or taper pipe line. We use sealant, sealing tape or the filler to block the big leakage channel for which may appear after this kind of connection. If the material of the valve can be soldered, we can choose to take seal weld after &nbsp;the threaded connection. However, even if the connection material can be soldered, when the coefficient of expansion differs greatly, or the variation range of the working temperature is big, the parts of the Threaded connection must take seal weld.</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		Threaded connection mainly use in the valves whose DN is under 50 mm. If the DN of a valve is too big, the installation and the seal of the threaded connection can be difficult.<br />
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		To make it easier to install and take down the valve with threaded connection, we can use pipe joint in the proper position of the pipeline system. And we can use fitting union as pipe joint to connect two parts of the vales whose DN is under 50 mm, by using screw threads form the fitting union.</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		<strong>2. Flange Connection</strong></div>
	<div>
		It&rsquo;s more convenient to install and take down the valve with flange connection. As flange connection has the heavier weight than threaded connection, the price of flange connection is higher than threaded connection, too. And, it fits various <a href="valves.html">valves</a> and different pressures&rsquo; pipe connection. However, when the temperature is over 350℃, the bolt, shim and the flange can be loose, and it will obviously decrease the load of the bolt, which can make the high-stressed flange connection to let out.</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		<strong>3. Welded Connection&nbsp;</strong></div>
	<div>
		Welded connection applies to all kinds of pressure and temperature. When it used in some extreme conditions, it will be more reliable than flange connection. As the tear-down and re-installation of the valve with welded connection can be more difficult, the welded connection can only use in occasions that need long-term and reliable operation or extreme conditions with high temperature, such as, heat power station, nuclear engineering and PVC engineering.</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		The valves with welded connections whose DN is under 50 mm usually have welded socket to take over valves of the plane. At the same time, the socket welding will form a crack between socket and pipe which may let the crack be corroded by some medium, and the vibration of <a href="pipe.html">pipes</a> will make the connection part become fatigue, so that the usage of welded connection will be limited.&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<div>
		We usually use groove welded connection when we meet the occasion with big DN, extreme condition and high temperature, and we also have strict requirements to the welding line.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	When installing a <a href="reducers.html">reducer</a>, if the inner diameter of the process piping and pore sizes do not match, then you should make the appropriate necking or expanding treatment. After installation, in order not to affect the distribution of the velocity field and finally result in pressure loss, reducing the measurement accuracy of electromagnetic flowmeter appropriately is necessary. Usually, the center of the cone angle can be controlled below 15 degrees or smaller.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Installation notes of reducer</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	1. If the flow changes within a small range of variation when the fluid is flowing in the pipe, whether increasing or decreasing, you should use reducer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	2. When installing a reducer, you should try your best to avoid the occurrence of cavitation at the pump inlet position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	3. When installing a reducer at the pump inlet position, the gas should be ensured not to be agglomerating at the reducing position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	4. If the inlet of the pump changes, then you shall select concentric reducer. If the pipeline enters into the pump from top to bottom, you should choose the top-flat reducer; and if the order is from top to bottom, you should choose bottom-flat reducer instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	5. During installation, you should select the corresponding flowmeter based on the actual flow of the process piping.<br />

	<strong>Sealing performance</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The sealing performance of valve referred to the ability in each sealing part of valve to stop the medium to let out. It is the most important technical performance of the valve. There are three sealing parts of valve: the boundary of the headstock piece and two sealing surface of valve seat; the contact between filler and <a href="valves.html">valve</a> rod and stuffing box; the joint of the bonnet and valve body. The first one is called inner leakage, which will affect the ability of valve to cut-off the media. For the type of cut -off valve, inner leakage is not allowed. And the later two leakages are called outer leakage, which makes the medial let out from valve to outside. The outer leakage will cause the loss of material, pollute the environment and even make the accident. As some flammable, combustible toxic or radioactive media, the leakage is forbidden apparently. So the valve should have reliable sealing performance</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Flowing media</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The pressure loss will be caused after the media flow pass the valve, in other words , valve has certain resistance towards the flowing of media, which make the media to consume some energy to over come the valve&#39;s resistance. To consider from the saving energy, when we design and manufacture the valve, we should reduce the resistance of valve towards the flowing media as much as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Opening and closing speed</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Opening and closing speed can be expressed by the time in once opening or closing movement of the valve. Generally, there is no special demand for the opening and closing speed. For some particular working conditions, however, they require fast speed so as to prevent the accident while slow opening and closing speed is needed for some conditions to avoid the water hammer. Therefore, we should consider every situation when selecting valves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Action sensitivity and reliability</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	It means the sensitivity of valve to makes corresponding reactions towards the parametric variation of the media. As throttle valve, reducing valve and control valve which are the valves to control the medium parameter and some special function valves like safety valve and drain valve, the action sensitivity and reliability are the very important technical performance of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Service life</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	It means the durability of valve, which with great economic value and it is also the significant technical performance of valve. We usually use the promised sealing requirements of the times of opening and closing of valve to express it, it can be expressed by hours of use.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>Recently, valve industry is influenced on account of the lack of casting, which made many companies feel troubled. </strong>Some insiders said that, after series of problems includes the recruitment difficult previously, the foundry industry got some resistance to offer the products which they signed before and it made the downstream valve industry lack enough raw materials.&nbsp;<br />
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	According to the statistics, China&#39;s casting production reached thirty-five million tons in 2009. Now, it increases 9% to 10% every year, and China also became the biggest casting producing country. However, the whole industry has many problems at the same time. With a wide range of coverage, although it has got a great application in the lathe, automobile production, valve pumps and many other areas, backward technology, excessive consumption costs and environmental pollution is a truth that we cannot be neglected.<br />
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	As a result of many prominent problems in foundry industry, the company with outmoded production capacity will be weeded out gradually, and for the domestic and foreign markets have the demand of the casting in SME, so it will be a long elimination to upgrade the whole casting quality. In the developing process of the foundry industry, <a href="valves.html">valve</a> companies should be concerned with the influence from power emission reduction, recruitment difficult and public policy to foundry industry, pay attention to the development and change in foundry industry at the same time and adjust themselves according to their own operating conditions.&nbsp;<br />
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Intuitively, to a large extent, the development of the valve industry is restricted by foundry industry. Only if foundry industry can offer more cheap and fine product, the cost in valve industry can be saved so that they can put more funds in product development and then make promotion in whole valve industry.</div>

	<strong>Made of cast gray iron, ductile iron, cast steel, aluminum, stainless steel or other materials, handle type butterfly valve is a simple tool used in gas pipeline of sulfuric acid industry and chemical, petrochemical, metallurgical, pharmaceutical, etc. of sulfuric acid system.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	The plate of manual butterfly valve is installed in the pipe diameter direction. In the cylindrical channel of valve body, disc-shaped plate will rotate around the axis within the angle between 0 degree to 90 degree. When the rotation is 90&nbsp;degree, the valve would be in fully open state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Only composed by few parts, <a href="butterfly-valves.html">butterfly valve</a> has the advantages of simple structure, small size and light weight. 90 degree rotation to achieve quick on and off, easy operation and good fluid control feature. There are two kinds of seal types: elastic seal and metal seal. For elastic sealing butterfly valve, seal ring can be mounted on the body or attached to the disc periphery; and for metal seal valve, though it has longer service life, but it is difficult to seal completely. Metal seal can adapt to the higher operating temperature while elastic seal is limited by the temperature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	If a butterfly valve is used for flow control, then you need to choose the right size and type. The structure principle of butterfly valve is particularly suitable for the production of large diameter valves. Butterfly valve is not only widely used in the oil, gas, chemicals, water treatment and other general industries, but also for the cooling water system of thermal power plant.<br />

      <guid>news/industry-news/selection-principles-of-strainers.html</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<strong>According to the needs of manufacturing process and pipeline installation, as well as the overall performance of various types of strainers, selection principles and note points of strainers can be summarized as follow</strong>s:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	1. To ensure the tightness of the pipe system, you can select socket welded or butt welded strainers; and for easy replacement, threaded connection or flange connection strainers are favorable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	2. Body material of strainers should always be same with connected pipe material.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	3. Working media with more solids content should select a <a href="strainers.html">strainer</a> with larger filter area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	4. Generally, permanent strainers are those strainers who have more than three times the filtration area of the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Temporary strainers have more than 2 times the effective filtration area of the cross-sectional area of the pipe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	5. Filter mesh number should be considered to meet the process needs, or play a protective role for pumps, compressors and other fluid transfer machinery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	6. Choose the type according to the actual piping requirements. Generally, SY1, ST3, SD1, SD2 and other similar types should be installed on the straight section; ST1, ST2 type is best installed in 90 &deg;flow line variation section to save elbow; and SC1, SC2 type can be installed on both sections above.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	7. In addition to SC1, SC2 type (don&#39;t need dedicated support) and DN200-300 SD2 type (has support leg itself), there is no supporting member for other strainers and piping designers need to considerate the supporting way.<br />

	<strong>The world has entered into a rapid development period of economic globalization and the inevitable trend of economic globalization is international standard. </strong>Through the study of association of ISO standard and China&#39;s valve standard, there has been a general understanding of adoption standard situation of China&rsquo;s valve standard. It determined the direction and increased the intensity of adoption. At the same time, China has to strive for substantive participation in international standardization work, as well as the voice and leadership in international standards. Due to historical reasons and regional reasons, ISO / TC153 valve has been formed into a pattern which Europe and America becoming the main body. Thus, on the one hand, the National Valve Standard Authority actively participated in and hosted international standard conference; on the other hand, our country actively sent our experts out to join the Standards Committee &quot;TC&quot;, the Sub-Committee &quot;SC&quot; and the standards working group &quot;WC&quot;, seriously voting the draft international standard draft and providing the favorable terms to the ISO / TC153 Secretariat so that to reflect our reasonable requirements in international standards.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Improve the safety of <a href="valves.html">valve</a> products and guarantee the security of equipment and personnel. Many valves are used in pressure piping, so safety is essential. Accidents caused by valve products can be summarized in two reasons: first, the product does not meet the standard requirements, such as the wall thickness of the shell, testing requirements of the welded joints, materials requirements and so on. Another reason is the improper installation and usage. National Valve Standard Authority has always attached importance to product safety requirements so as to maximize the security of equipment and personnel. Safety requirements and valve safety standards revision will be the focus of future work.</div>

	<strong>Pipe cap, one of the indispensable pipe products, plays an important role in the pipeline</strong>, and it concludes high-pressure pipe cap, threaded cap, stainless steel cap and so on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	<a href="caps.html">Pipe cap</a> is the safety line of defense in pipeline and it provides a barrier for the pipe so that the harmful substances can not be spread out, providing the most powerful and effective protection to construction workers and personnel. When transporting hazardous substances, there should be more than one partition to avoid the leak. That is, it is best to have more than one pipe cap to ensure the security.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
	In daily life, due to the negligence of the construction workers, they often forget to put pipe cap back and that will cause very serious consequences. Toxic, flammable and harmful substances will be spread out along the pipe, resulting in a threat to the safety of human life. When facing with this situation, we need to be vey careful during the construction and be sure to make all the removed caps restore to their original position after finishing the work. In daily inspection, pipe cap should be carefully checked to see if there is any damage or missing, if finding is a problem, we must solve it immediately to ensure the safety of the pipeline. What&rsquo;s more, we need to pay special attention to the places where are easy to have leakage problems. Put double protection or increase the number of caps to strengthen the partition effect.<br />
