The ball valve is 4.5m in diameter and 2.3m in outlet diameter and the weight is 120t. The set of equipment from casting, handle welding, weld flaw detection, thermal treatment to processing and assembly and test equipment embody our advanced level of hydropower equipment manufacturing. It sets records in weight, volume and processing level of ball valve in China, and achieves the localization of large hydropower ball valve, instead of imported products.
