As the construction of hydrogen production, storage and hydrogen refueling infrastructure accelerates in China
As the construction of hydrogen production, storage and hydrogen refueling infrastructure accelerates in China, the demand for special valves with hydrogen‑embrittlement resistance and high‑pressure sealing performance keeps rising. Valves applied in hydrogen refueling stations and gaseous hydrogen transmission pipelines face strict requirements on material selection, sealing design and non‑destructive testing, while some core components used to rely on overseas suppliers.
Domestic flow‑control manufacturers keep developing 35‑70 MPa hydrogen‑service ball valves, globe valves and integrated valve assemblies. Continuous improvements have been made in material modification, heat treatment and helium leak‑detection procedures to realize independent supply of key components. Industry insights indicate that the hydrogen energy sector will drive steady market expansion for high‑pressure special valves in the coming two years, bringing new growth opportunities for domestic valve manufacturers.
