Stainless steel pump or will become the pioneer in the Chinese pump industry

Stainless steel has longevity, high strength, light weight and other excellent features. In recent years, stainless steel has been used for shipbuilding, and rail vehicles and other transportation industries have developed rapidly. With the development of machinery manufacturing, the stainless steel industry will have a broad application prospects.

Li Cheng, chairman of the China Stainless Steel Special Steel Association, analyzed China's stainless steel consumer market (valves, pumps). From the consumption point of view, China's apparent consumption has reached the world's highest level of nearly 1/4 of the world's total consumption, per capita consumption of stainless steel reached 3.4KG, leapt to the forefront of developing countries. However, the growth rate of consumption has gradually slowed down, and the ultra-high-speed development stage with an average annual growth rate of over 30% has changed into a steady development stage with a current growth rate of 6.43%. Stainless steel itself has been widely used in the fields of energy, petrochemical, electric power, and mining, etc. that have been developed in China because of its characteristics of corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and wear resistance.

In recent years, stainless steel has become more and more involved in the field, among which demand in the water industry, construction and structural industries, environmental protection industries, and industrial facilities will also increase year by year. In the water industry, the problem of water being contaminated during its storage and transportation has become increasingly important. A large number of practices have proved that stainless steel is the best material for the water industry such as preparation, storage, transportation, purification, regeneration and seawater desalination. The advantages are: corrosion resistance, earthquake resistance, water saving, hygiene (no rust and copper green), light weight (reduce 1/3), low maintenance, long life (40 years can be used), low life cycle cost (LCC) , is a green material that can be recycled and reused. According to reports, at present, the stainless steel pipeline in Tokyo, Japan has reached 76%, and the pipeline leakage rate has dropped from the original 14.7% to the current 7.5%. After the earthquake in Osaka, Japan, stainless steel water tanks were intact. Recently, Japan has developed a bellows joint that reduces the construction cost of the stainless steel water transmission pipeline by 20%, the total cost by 3%, and the maintenance cost by 3/4.

In summary, the stainless steel pump driven by the stainless steel industry has a good market prospect. Relevant persons predict that the stainless steel pump market in China will reach 2-3 billion in the past ten years. Stainless steel pumps have won the love of the market due to a series of advantages such as corrosion resistance, earthquake resistance, water saving, safety and health, light weight, low maintenance, long life, low life cycle cost and recyclability. We have reason to believe that by adding green stainless steel materials, stainless steel pumps will become the pioneers of China's pump industry and contribute to the development of China's pump industry!
