The Messonnier Lan series materials used in DN450 CL300 (R-HIC) valves provide resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking; how much do valves designed for operation at 450°C cost, without interlocks and used only for control purposes? 2. What makes imported instruments expensive? What are the advantages compared to domestic instruments? Why are prices generally so high? 3. What are everyone’s thoughts on this issue?
Patents, raw materials, tariffs – that’s all I can think of
The materials used should be of better quality, the patent standards should be higher, and at present its stability and precision are far superior to those of domestic products
What kind of bird language are you talking about? Mine is a bit different
Piggy’s answers are easy to understand; it’s truly a wise little pig: lol
The technical specifications of the imported valves you are requesting are generally guaranteed, as long as the manufacturer raises no objections. Moreover, the quality of these imported valves is stable, their materials are of reliable quality, and all technical parameters are ensured. For domestically produced valves, the main quality issues are unstable performance and an inability to guarantee the quality of the materials used; this significantly affects the lifespan of the valves, and their adjustment accuracy is also quite poor. Cutting corners in manufacturing is a common practice. The quality of various accessories is not as good as that of imported ones. These are all comprehensive issues, not issues related to just one aspect. It will take some time for the quality of domestic valves to improve.
Foreign instrument manufacturers adopt a different pricing approach from domestic ones; the largest cost factor is considered to be the cost associated with intellectual property development. Assuming that the development cost for a particular device is a, and that it is expected to dominate the market for b years at an average market share of x%, it is possible to determine the total expected production volume as well as the average development cost per device； At the same time, analyze the labor and material costs for producing this model of equipment. Therefore, assuming that costs and prices remain unchanged, the pricing equals the average development cost + material costs + labor costs + profit. Domestic development companies generally operate on a model of low profits but high sales volumes; the development costs can be considered as a natural loss within the profits, and it is sufficient for subsequent production to still generate profits. Therefore, the standard prices for foreign equipment are higher than those for domestic equipment. Of course, the natural advantages resulting from differences in materials, processing, and technology are also a factor, but these advantages have become increasingly less significant.
The 18-inch MASONEILAN high-temperature valve is estimated to cost over 1 million
