China metal pipe fittings industry transformation and upgrading of the road
Pipe fittings, metal pipe fittings referred to, is connected to the two part of the pipeline or other parts of the article, including three links, four links, elbow, elbow, head, flange, etc.. Industrial metal pipe product has the characteristics of strong specificity, high added value, widely used, involving various fields of the national economy, the main products supply of petroleum chemical industry, natural gas, electric power, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical and other industries, especially the emerging field of marine engineering and nuclear power giant.
Rapid development of industrial metal pipe fittings industry will lead to the rapid development of large diameter, composite materials, high performance and high reliability of the demand for pipe fittings. At present, the total demand for industrial metal pipe fittings in the power industry has declined, mainly on the general performance, low technical content of thermal power installed capacity of the pipe fittings decline. But the wind power flange, nuclear grade pipe fittings, as well as large diameter, non-standard, high performance thermal power units and other key components, still in short supply, part of the need to rely on imports. With the basic construction of Chinese town accelerate the construction of oil and gas field development, the world ship transfer orders, ocean resource exploration, nuclear power plant construction project, will make the already tight market there is a greater gap between supply and demand.
Analysts believe that the next few years in the low industrial metal pipe annual consumption of 1 million 500 thousand tons, high pressure industrial metal pipe annual consumption of 2 million 300 thousand tons, exports plus Chinese industrial metal pipe industry annual total demand of about 4 million 500 thousand tons. Every year in the world industrial high pressure pipe consumption quantity of at least 23 million 400 thousand tons, the market capacity of more than $90 billion.
