● Further expand the application scenarios of PA12 high-pressure gas transmission
● Material manufacturers work closely with accessory manufacturers to provide safe and efficient solutions for gas operations
Evonik, the world's leading specialty chemicals company, and Aveco Group (AVK), an industrial valve manufacturing company, have jointly developed the first 110mm/4-inch polyamide 12 (PA12) gas ball valve, which is suitable for sub-high pressure (1.8MPa) and below) in the field of gas pipeline transportation. The ball valve has passed a full set of tests by a third-party authoritative laboratory, meeting ISO16486-4 and ASTM All requirements of B16.40.
The PA12 material developed by Evonik for gas pipeline applications has the characteristics of high strength, high toughness, impact resistance, zero corrosion and crack growth resistance. It can withstand a long-term operating pressure of up to 1.8MPa, which is much higher than other non-metallic materials. It is suitable for natural gas , biogas, hydrogen and other gas transportation. PA12 gas pipeline is suitable for trenchless construction methods such as horizontal directional drilling. Even if it is damaged by third-party machinery such as excavators, the pipeline can still maintain safe operation without leakage, providing a safe, reliable and cost-effective solution for gas operation .
Evonik High Performance Polymers Business Line Asia Pacific Vice President and General Manager Toni Shi Schreibweiss, said: "Relying on the advantages of both parties in the fields of material and product development, and guided by market demand, Evonik and AVK Group have successfully developed the PA12 gas valve. As a result, we can provide the gas industry with pipes, pipe fittings and valves. A complete system solution to meet diverse user needs. This is of great significance to further expand the application scenarios of PA12 sub-high pressure gas transmission. In the future, Evonik will further cooperate with AVK Group on the market promotion and application of PA12 gas valves.”
Evonik is committed to providing safe, reliable and economical non-metallic material solutions for gas transmission. Globally, Evonik PA12 has accumulated more than 10 years of application experience in the field of gas pipeline manufacturing.
"The successful cooperation with Evonik to develop the PA12 gas valve has filled the gap in the market for non-metallic gas valves in sub-high pressure applications. Based on AVK's years of experience in gas valve development and application, as well as its unique design on ball valves, PA12 valve products are in the leading position in technology application in the market. "Wang Shiyang, general manager of AVK Plastic Technology Anhui Co., Ltd., said.
