About Lianggu Valve Group

Factory or trading company?

We are not just forwarding prices. Lianggu Valve Group integrates design, R&D, manufacturing, testing and sales, supporting industrial valve buyers who need stable supply and project documentation.

What valves do you mainly supply?

For social media promotion, the current focus is on Gate Valve, Globe Valve, Check Valve, Ball Valve, Butterfly Valve, Power Station Valve, Regulating Valve and Natural Gas Ball Valve. Content should focus on selection, applications, quality testing, project documents and factory capability.

Can you handle large size, high pressure or extreme temperature?

The official website lists DN10-DN5000, 1/2"-80", 0.25-80.0MPa, 150LB-4500LB and -196℃ to 1350℃. Final model selection depends on working conditions and technical confirmation.

Which industries do your valves serve?

Our valves serve power, petroleum, chemical, gas, steel, biological, municipal and heating industries. Different working conditions require selection by medium, pressure, temperature and standards.

Why should valve buyers not select by price only?

High temperature, cryogenic service, high pressure, corrosion and solid particles all affect material, sealing, structure and testing requirements. A cheap wrong selection often costs more than the valve itself.

How do you control quality?

From raw material, machining, assembly and pressure testing to final inspection, we can prepare ITP, inspection reports, NDT, calibration and traceability files according to project requirements.

What testing equipment do you have?

Audit materials show valve test benches, pneumatic pressure test pumps, ultrasonic flaw detectors, magnetic particle detectors, spectrometers, hardness testers, thickness gauges, universal testing machine, impact testing machine and metallographic equipment.

What manufacturing equipment supports your production?

Equipment records show horizontal/vertical lathes, CNC lathes, vertical/horizontal/gantry machining centers, precision CNC ball grinding machine, automatic welding machines and valve seat press.

Can you support supplier audits?

Yes. We can prepare company qualifications, organization chart, equipment list, inspection capability, ITP, certificates, calibration and environmental compliance documents according to your audit checklist.

Can you support third-party inspection?

Yes. Third-party inspection can be supported according to project requirements. Inspection agency, witness points, test items, report language and document requirements should be confirmed during quotation.

Can you provide project document packages?

Yes. We can prepare drawings, design calculations, process cards, quality plans, ITP, material documents, inspection reports, pressure test records, NDT/calibration/certificates according to order requirements.

Do you support low-emission requirements?

Audit materials include low-emission related files, packing certificates and TUV Rheinland certificate documents. If fugitive emission requirements apply, standards and test documents should be confirmed early.

Can you support NDT?

Audit files include PT/UT certificates, NDT procedure cards, NDT evaluations and reports, supporting penetrant testing and ultrasonic testing for critical areas.

How are welding and heat treatment controlled?

Audit documents include WPS/PQR/WPQ, hardfacing procedure cards, special process validation for heat treatment and heat treatment cards for multiple materials. Special processes are controlled by documents, not only by experience.

How do you verify materials?

Materials can be verified by certificates, spectrometer analysis, hardness/mechanical testing and heat treatment records. Relevant material and inspection documents can be provided according to order requirements.

Can delivery be faster?

Regular stocked models can be arranged faster. Non-standard, special material, high-pressure or batch orders need technical confirmation, material preparation and production schedule. Earlier parameter confirmation helps control delivery time.

Can I get a sample first?

Yes, sample requests can be discussed. Please provide valve type, size, pressure class, material, connection, medium and quantity. We will check stock or production schedule and quote accordingly.

How are valves packed for export?

Valves are usually protected and packed in wooden or plywood cases suitable for export transportation. Sea freight, moisture-proof, anti-rust, shipping mark or spare parts packing requirements should be confirmed early.

Do you provide technical support after delivery?

We can provide technical communication for installation, commissioning, maintenance and problem analysis. Special warranty, spare parts or site service requirements should be clarified at contract stage.

Can environmental documents support audits?

Audit files include VOC, wastewater, exhaust gas, noise testing, hazardous waste management, pollutant discharge permit execution report and environmental emergency plan, supporting EHS audit review.
