Beijing Gas Group presented Chaoda with a banner that read “Strong Support for the Olympics”.

Chaoda Valve Group Co., Ltd. was awarded a banner by the Gas Transmission and Distribution Branch of Beijing Gas Group Co., Ltd., inscribed with “Strong Support for the Olympics.” In August 2008, with the active support of Chaoda Valve, Beijing Gas Group Co., Ltd. successfully completed the work of ensuring a safe and stable gas supply during the holiday period. Fully welded ball valves are suitable for: gas output pipelines, main lines, and branch supply pipelines; output pipelines, main lines, and branch lines of large heating equipment; opening and closing of pipelines and circuits; various heat treatment pipelines; and various industrial gas and heat pipelines. The valve body of the fully welded ball valve is assembled and welded from a seamless steel pipe shell, resulting in a compact structure and a unified design. The fully welded ball valve transports flammable and explosive media such as gas and oil. Direct-buried fully welded gas ball valves can be directly buried underground, requiring only a small shallow well on the surface, greatly saving construction costs and project time. Fully welded ball valves have strong adaptability to pressure and temperature changes and will not produce any leakage within the specified pressure and temperature range.

Chaoda was selected by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) as a member of the Shenhua Joint Venture Test Run Support Team.

The Shenhua Coal Liquefaction Project is a major undertaking for China’s petroleum substitution strategy and independent innovation. Central leaders attach great importance to it, requiring all relevant departments and units to prioritize the overall situation, strengthen coordination, cooperate closely, and go all out to actively support Shenhua Group in its commissioning work. The coal liquefaction and gasification units utilize a large number of imported wear-resistant ball valves, which are expensive and have slow delivery cycles. Chaoda Valves possesses leading domestic R&D and manufacturing capabilities in hard-seal ball valves and wear-resistant ball valves. Chaoda has undertaken the task of localizing the production of wear-resistant ball valves for the Shenhua Coal Liquefaction Project, and some products are already in use in the equipment, thus achieving localization of wear-resistant ball valves and shortening delivery times.

API 6FA ball valve fire resistance test certification

The API monogram is the product logo of the American Petroleum Institute, established in 1924. Its purpose is to certify equipment and materials produced and to identify manufacturers that meet API quality systems and product standards. 6FA is a fire resistance certification specifically for the fire resistance testing of valves according to the 6A standard. API 6FA sets the testing requirements and performance evaluation criteria for API 6A pressure vessels and API 6D valves exposed to flame. The performance requirements of API SPEC 6FA-1999 establish acceptable standard limits regardless of specification or pressure class. The fire resistance performance of a ball valve refers to its ability to maintain normal operation in a high-temperature flame. The fire resistance performance of a ball valve is a crucial indicator of its safety performance. Fire resistance testing is the only method to determine its fire resistance performance. Ball valves used on offshore platforms and in gas fields are required to undergo fire resistance testing. The fire resistance testing apparatus consists of a burner (capable of burning natural gas), a fire-resistant combustion chamber, and a leak detection system.
