What Are Industrial Valves?
Industrial valves are essential components in fluid handling systems. They control the movement of liquids, gases, steam and, in some applications, slurries by starting or stopping flow, regulating flow rates, preventing reverse flow, or controlling pressure within a system.

On December 11, 2025, the Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry (MSS) announced the publication of MSS SP-147-2025, a revised standard titled Quality Standard for Steel Castings Used in Standard Class Steel Valves — Sampling Method for Evaluating Casting Quality.

GE Aerospace Invests $11.75 Billion in Precision Casting Capacity: What It Means for Advanced Metal Manufacturing

Within global fluidcontrol industries including oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment and energy infrastructure, valve disc and valve body are the core loadbearing and sealing parts that decide overall valve service life, sealing performance and pressurebearing capacity. As international projects raise higher requirements for component dimensional consistency, surface quality and metallurgical integrity, silicasol investment casting (lostwax casting) has gradually become the mainstream manufacturing solution for highend butterfly valve disc and custom valve body, replacing part of traditional sandcasting applications.

According to latest industry market research, the global ballvalve market reached USD 13.57 billion in 2026 and is forecasted to achieve steady growth at a compound annual growth rate of 3.64% through 2031. Ball valves account for the largest revenue share among all industrial valve types, widely deployed across oil & gas, LNG terminals, hydrogen infrastructure, chemical processing and energytransition projects worldwide. While endproduct market expands, global valve OEM manufacturers are putting forward higher standards for ballvalve body, ball sphere and other core pressurebearing components in material purity, casting metallurgical quality and CNC machining precision.
