1. Mission and order

In this elaboration, the +GF+ Piping success story is presented with hard and soft

facts.The market for plastic pressure pipe system products in industrial applications

has developed very positively in recent years. For all market participants, including

manufacturers of metal products, which are partially substituted, it is of particular

interest how the market leader +GF+ develops.

Hillinger + Partner (H + P) has worked out several market studies in the last few

years in the field of pipes, fittings, valves in various plastics and metals. Et al Ball,

Butterfly, Diaphragm, Coax, Pressure and Solenoid Valves. To optimize the

information in the direction of the customer's wishes, excerpts from these studies are

used in this analysis.

With these results and the analysis of the actual - state with the ordering company

(not ordered option) about an elevation with the help of answers of the ordering

company to specific 160 questions of Hillinger+Partner as a base a marketing

concept with chances, risks and ways is compiled and suggested. This concept from

a holistic view point to the ordering company from the manufacturer's area or the

commercial area like he can reach possible, realistic targets with the turnover / yields

and the market shares. Production criteria, up to planning considerations to the

production, are not treated in this investigation.

An attempt is made to answer the following questions in the defined analysis:- What needs do the segments / main customers have on the market?- Who are the main customers with which concrete potential?- How big is the market potential regional?- What is the market potential of the relevant product groups?- Which product areas do the main competitors offer?

Answers that might provide an actual is-analysis (not ordered option), a tuned

Dynamic Optimization Process (DOP) with an extended order:

- How is the competitive situation assessed in the market segments and among the

target groups?

- What opportunities and ways can the ordering company use to develop successfully

based on its actual situation in this market?

For reasons of the simplification and better legibility only the male form is given in the study with

personal names and functional names. The female form is always also meant.

2. Introduction, definitions and demarcations

It’s about a special and limited analysis and research, which is modularly tailored to

customers if you see to the different valve constructions / functions..

The marketing of components and systems of the piping construction with valves,

automation valves, fittings, pipes and the flow measurement and control in sundry

technical plastics on the world market is discussed.

An especial deep analysis of the German market with allusions to the differences in

other countries and regions let the customer carry out deductions for the marketing in

other regions of the world.

The main customers are demonstrated very diaphanously for the fast and practical

sales utilisation. This occurs with name, location, market segment, the separated

need for the materials cemented plastics ( PVC-C, PVC-U, and ABS), weldable

plastics ( PP, PE and PB ), the fluorine plastics PVDF and PFA as well as the

automation valves and the flow measurement and control. ( Not ordered option )

Piping systems are piping components, which are planned to fit optimal together in

their function, their connection technique and their material compatibility. The

fabricator and the user can simply combine, assemble and use them with the system

guarantee of the producer.

Plastic-pressure piping products are installed in the building technology, the industry

and the utility with the gas and water distribution. Neutral, demanding and

aggressive, gaseous and liquid medias are conducted through the components and

have to be controlled by them.

As previously explained, in this analysis we restrict to the main market segment

industry with the multitude of different applications and the main market segment

distribution i.e. the applications in the gas and water distribution, because here are

many considerable overlaps and partial similarities.

The growing automation level in every domain, connected with the specific

advantages of modern components of plastics let the market grow up worldwide in

the trend.

Many new demands of the users and the concentration of the size, both on the side

of the producers and of the customers, intensify the competition. Contractors, who

want to have success, have to be wary and to act flexible, innovative and operational

excellent.

Among the intensive observation of the competitors, it is important to divine the

trends and the development of the customers. The neighbourly disciplines

electronics, electro-technics, hydraulics, pneumatic and process technique, give,

both in use and of the results of development and researches, hints for the

conception of plastic-pressure piping products.

The market also shows a qualitative growth. This is caused by the higher claims to

the quality, functionality, efficiency and the service kindness of the products. In many

cases a modular system is useful for customers and producers. In this connection

there is demand for universally constructed products. On the other side there is a

demand for very simple products, which barely cover an application optimally.

Good chances, to bridge a gap in the market, to open up new markets and to assure

those for yourself to enlarge the own exchange and market shares, arise for all

contractors.

A successful expansion by the producers, contractors and the users, an ideal choice

of products and performances, premise, however, corresponding efforts, which vary

from the common and familiar efforts. The precise knowledge of the market amongst

others with specific details, both of the side of the producer and of the user, is the

precondition for the initiation of effective marketing actions and the advantages of the

best possibility of sourcing.

Because of the limit of the extend of the analysis and due to the fast change of the

market, the results show relating to the conclusion, adequate risks.

New materials, new technologies, thedDigitalization and creative ideas with the

operations in connection with innovative product developments for the substitution of

given products and systems lead in the result to better, more user-friendly

components, products and to more economic solutions.

2.1 Main product ranges – Ball Valves

A ball valve is a valve with a spherical disc, the part of the valve which controls theflow through it. The sphere has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when theport is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. When the valve is closed,the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is blocked. The handle orlever will be inline with the port position letting you "see" the valve's position. The ballvalve, along with the butterfly valve and plug valve, are part of the family of quarterturn valves.

Ball valves are durable and usually work to achieve perfect shutoff even after yearsof disuse. They are therefore an excellent choice for shutoff applications (and areoften preferred to globe valves and gate valves for this purpose). They do not offerthe fine control that may be necessary in throttling applications but are sometimesused for this purpose.

Ball valves are used extensively in industry because they are very versatile,supporting pressures up to 700 bars and temperatures up to 200°C. Sizes typicallyrange from 4 mm to 1400 mm. They are easy to repair and operate.

The body of ball valves may be made of metal, plastic or metal with a plastic or aceramic center. The ball is often chrome plated to make it more durable.

There are five general body styles of ball valves: single body, three piece body, splitbody, top entry, and welded. The difference is based on how the pieces of thevalve—especially the casing that contains the ball itself—are manufactured andassembled. The valve operation is the same in each case.

In addition, there are different styles related to the bore of the ball mechanism itself:

A full port or more commonly known full bore ball valve has an over-sized ballso that the hole in the ball is the same size as the pipeline resulting in lowerfriction loss. Flow is unrestricted but the valve is larger and more expensive sothis is only used where free flow is required, for example in pipelines whichrequire pigging.

In reduced port or more commonly known reduced bore ball valves, flowthrough the valve is one pipe size smaller than the valve's pipe size resultingin flow area being smaller than pipe. As the flow discharge remains constant

and is equal to area of flow (A) times velocity (V), A1V1 = A2V2 the velocityincreases with reduced area of flow.

A V port ball valve has either a 'v' shaped ball or a 'v' shaped seat. This allowsthe orifice to be opened and closed in a more controlled manner with a closerto linear flow characteristic. When the valve is in the closed position andopening is commenced the small end of the 'v' is opened first allowing stableflow control during this stage. This type of design requires a generally morerobust construction due to higher velocities of the fluids, which might damagea standard valve.

A trunnion ball valve has additional mechanical anchoring of the ball at the topand the bottom, suitable for larger and higher pressure valves (say, above100 mm and 40 bars).

Cavity filler Ball Valve. Many industries encounter problem with residues in theball valve. Where the fluid is meant for human consumption, residues mayalso be health hazard, and when where the fluid changes from time to timecontamination of one fluid with another may occur. Residues arise because inthe half open position of the ball valve a gap is created between the ball boreand the body in which fluid can be trapped. To avoid the fluid getting into thiscavity, the cavity has to be plugged, which can be done by extending the seatsin such a manner that it is always in contact with the ball. This type of ballvalve is known as Cavity Filler Ball Valve.

Manually operated ball valves can be closed quickly and thus there is a danger ofwater hammer. Some ball valves are equipped with an actuator that may bepneumatically or motor operated. These valves can be used either for on/off or flowcontrol. A pneumatic flow control valve is also equipped with a positioner whichtransforms the control signal into actuator position and valve opening accordingly.

Three-way ball valves have an L- or T-shaped hole through the middle. The differentcombinations of flow are shown in the figure. It is easy to see that a T valve canconnect any pair of ports, or all three, together, but the 45 degree position whichmight disconnect all three leaves no margin for error. The L valve can connect thecenter port to either side port, or disconnect all three, but it cannot connect the sideports together.

Multi-port ball valves with 4 ways, or more, are also commercially available, the inletway often being orthogonal to the plane of the outlets. For special applications, suchas driving air-powered motors from forward to reverse, the operation is performed byrotating a single lever 4-way ball valve. The 4-way valve has two L-shaped ports in

the ball that do not interconnect, sometimes referred to as an "×" port.

Ball valves in sizes up to 2 inch generally come in single piece, two or three piecedesigns. One piece ball valves are almost always reduced bore, are relativelyinexpensive and generally are throw-away. Two piece ball valves are generallyslightly reduced (or standard) bore, they can be either throw-away or repairable. The3 piece design allows for the center part of the valve containing the ball, stem & seatsto be easily removed from the pipeline. This facilitates efficient cleaning of depositedsediments, replacement of seats and gland packings, polishing out of small scratcheson the ball, all this without removing the pipes from the valve body. The designconcept of a three piece valve is for it to be repairable.

The ball valve is used, primarily, for On and Shut - function, however, also to control.

He has a ball with a drilling which has the same nominal diameter like the connected

pipe and can be closed with 90 ° set movement

As especially sure and easy in the construction construction count the ball valves

with which one reaches the biggest flow values with the smallest dimensions. Beside

the 2/2 ways passage functions there are 3/2 ways and Multi-port ball valves with 4

ways multi way functions. With nominal diameters to 150 mm varied variations what

concerns body and sealing material can be also selected from the market offer. With

the offers and constructions one must pay attention to the fact that, among the rest, a

maintenance-free work is guaranteed by continuous adjusting of the ball poetry with

behind O - ring, the appearing conduit forces on both sides by the case are taken up

and with it ball and plug of additional forces can be relieved and be worked for the

whole life span with a constantly low activity torque.

The dosing-ball valve is a control valve with which within his control area any flow

rate can be exactly put. The ball shows a V-shaped notch which grows on the

circumference of the ball continuously in width and depth, so that the flow opening

from closed to open changes if the ball is turned. Dosing ball valve have a scale

which registers actuel position in the area of 0 ° to 180 °.
