In the same year, a high-pressure gate valve for offshore oil production was successfully trial-produced, and the product was used for the first time on my country's first "Exploration No. 1" ship.
◇ In 1974, we successfully produced high-temperature and high-pressure valves for my country's 300,000 kilowatt/hour thermal power station.
◇ The trial production was successful in 1975 - a new product of 120℃ low temperature gate valve.
Reform and opening up period (state-owned) (1977-2003):
◇ Undertaken the manufacturing of high-quality valves for Chairman Mao Memorial Hall in 1977 .
◇ In 1978, Z741Y-350I hydraulic gate valve was trial-produced and mass-produced.
◇ In 1979, the "Shanghai Valve Precision Casting Factory" (large collective nature) was established based on the precision manufacturing section of our factory.
In September of the same year, the "Shanghai Lianggong Valve Factory Technical School" was officially opened.
◇ In 1980, we reached an agreement with the American Times Exploration Company to trial-produce the first batch of American valves according to API standards, setting a record for our factory's batch export of valves.
◇ In 1981, valves of different specifications such as manual pneumatic gate valves, angle globe valves, and high-pound API valves were sent to the "Vancouver Expo", "Sihanno International Expo", and "Mexico Expo" ”, “Irish Expo”, “Argentina Expo” and other exhibitions.
In the same year, the hydraulic switching valve for Jinshan Petrochemical Plant was successfully trial-produced.
◇ In 1982, the original "Shanghai Valve Factory No. 3" was merged into our factory and established as an electrical assembly workshop.
◇ Obtained API6D and API591 certificates from the American Petroleum Institute in 1984, and was among the first companies in my country's valve industry to obtain such certificates.
