At present, the valve market at home and abroad is quite chaotic, and the price difference is great. Generally, it only costs several thousand yuan to customize valves, but it often costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to buy imported brand valves. So what caused such a big price difference, and where is the brand valve expensive? Personal opinion, for reference only!
One: Imported valves focus on raw materials.
Raw materials are the basis of valves. Imported valve brands are expensive because they use the best materials, which are often several times more expensive than subtotal manufacturers. Steel is at least expensive 140%. The material of the valve is generally inseparable from steel, which is often the most expensive part of the valve. Now many manufacturers are flaunting that they are imported from Europe, but they are also imported from Europe, and the price can be as bad as 100%! Because European steel is divided into eastern and western European steel, for example, the price of steel in eastern Europe 1 ton is 3800-4500 US dollars, and that in western Europe is as high as 5600-7000 US dollars, among which German steel is the most precious. At the same time, even European steel products from the same origin can still have a price difference of 40%. For truly high-grade brand valves, the steel products must undergo strict treatment and transfer. Only European process treatment can make the hardness rate of steel products reach the qualified range of 99.9%- 100%, and the hardness rate will not rebound.
