The company is currently planning to upgrade its logistics and warehousing automation capabilities . This investment in automation is part of Neway ’ s broader strategy to enhance its competitive edge and ensure sustainable growth in the global market .
Setting the standard in valve technology
Neway ’ s expertise is recognised not only by its customers but also by industry bodies . The company has been invited to participate in the IOGP Standardisation project , becoming the one of the first valve manufacturers to do so . This involvement allows Neway to contribute its technical knowledge and quality control experience to industry standards , further cementing its position as a leader in valve technology . Feng elaborates , “ As the one of the first invited valve manufacturers , Neway has been participating profoundly in the

IOGP Standardisation project . This means we have the chance to incorporate our technical advantages and experience in quality control into the related standards and realise further improvement .”
Diverse products for demanding applications
From its origins in general manual valves , Neway has expanded its product range to include automatic on / off valves and control valves . Today , the company offers solutions for a wide array of challenging conditions , including ultra-high temperatures , cryogenic environments , super-high pressures and highly corrosive applications . This diverse product portfolio has enabled Neway to serve a broad range of industries , including oil and gas , chemical processing , power generation ( including nuclear power ), water treatment and new energy sectors . What sets Neway apart is its ability to offer differentiated products for specific market segments , showcasing the company ’ s technical prowess and market understanding .
Breakthrough in liquid hydrogen valves
One of Neway ’ s most significant recent achievements is in the field of liquid hydrogen valves . In 2023 , the company became the first valve manufacturer to obtain certification for liquid hydrogen valves using the body-cavity cooling method . This breakthrough led to the development of a series of liquid hydrogen valves , including -253 ° C liquid hydrogen vacuum angle pattern globe valves , vacuum check valves , and emergency shut-off valves . The successful delivery of nearly 100 liquid hydrogen valves marks a significant milestone for Neway and the industry as a whole . These valves met rigorous performance indicators and passed third-party inspections , paving the way for wider application of such products globally . Neway ’ s achievement in this area is particularly noteworthy . The company was awarded a special equipment type test certificate by the National Special Pump and Valve Engineering Technology Research Centre for its vacuum-jacketed cryogenic globe valve for liquid hydrogen service . Neway was the first valve manufacturer to use the liquid hydrogen internal cooling method for type testing , with the results meeting all standard requirements .

The test was performed according to T / CGMA 0405-2022 “ General Test Method of Low Temperature Valve with Hydrogen Medium ” at China ’ s aerospace product test centre . After 100 cycles of life testing with pressure , all performance metrics met the standard requirements of T / CGMA 0407-2022 “ General Technical Specification for Hydrogen Cryogenic Valves ”.
Innovation in high-temperature valves
Neway ’ s innovation extends to hightemperature applications as well . In 2023 , the company successfully produced and tested a large-diameter pneumatic high-temperature triple offset butterfly valve for a domestic customer ’ s propane dehydrogenation project . With a design diameter of 96 inches and a design temperature of 704 ° C ( 1300 ° F ), this valve represents a significant technical achievement . To meet the challenging requirements of this application , Neway employed advanced techniques such as finite element analysis , thermal field analysis and fluid analysis . The company ’ s engineers developed a special customised design to address issues like stuck resistance and high torque at elevated temperatures . This successful project demonstrates Neway ’ s capacity to tackle complex , highspecification valve requirements . It also highlights the company ’ s commitment to pushing the boundaries of valve technology to meet the evolving needs of its customers in various industries .
