WESDUN

In late May 2026, WESDUN concluded a successful on-site client visit to Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria’s key industrial hubs. The team held in-person discussions with local partners across the oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing sectors, conducting on-site equipment evaluations, optimizing customized industrial valve and smart flow meter solutions, and providing professional technical support. This visit strengthened WESDUN’s local partnerships, optimized regional supply chain and localized services, and expanded its market influence in West Africa. It lays a solid foundation for WESDUN to deliver more reliable, cost-effective fluid control solutions and support Nigeria’s ongoing industrial development.

This article reviews WESDUN’s successful participation in the 2026 MEGA WATER NIGERIA, which took place in Lagos, Nigeria from May 19 to 21. At this influential regional water industry event, WESDUN displayed high-quality water treatment, pump and valve products, as well as practical fluid system solutions tailored for West African market needs. The brand attracted large numbers of professional visitors and conducted in-depth business negotiations, achieving fruitful cooperation intentions with local enterprises. This exhibition marks an important step in WESDUN’s ongoing market expansion across West Africa. Moving forward, WESDUN will keep optimizing localized products and after-sales services, and actively cooperate with global and local partners to explore the booming West African water equipment industry for mutual win-win growth.

This article focuses on the working conditions and typical applications of gate valves and butterfly valves, two commonly used shut-off and flow control components in industrial and municipal piping systems. It first defines the basic structure and operation principles of each valve, then details their respective applicable scenarios, core advantages, and limitations. A comparative table is provided to clearly show the differences between the two valves in terms of operation, flow resistance, sealing, cost, and other key characteristics. Finally, common questions are answered and practical selection suggestions are given to help engineers and facility managers choose the right valve for specific applications.

This news article details WESDUN Fluid Technology Co., LTD.’s participation in the 24th Pyongyang Spring International Commodity Exhibition, held in Pyongyang, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, from May 4 to 8, 2026. As a leading Chinese manufacturer of valves, water meters, flow meters and other instrumentation products, WESDUN showcased its high-quality, internationally certified products tailored to the local industrialization and infrastructure needs, attracted significant attention from local enterprises, and reached preliminary cooperation intentions. The article also introduces WESDUN’s global strength (including 5 domestic factories, 4 international warehouses, overseas branches and professional teams), its product range and standards, as well as the company’s optimism about the market potential of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and its future expansion plans in the region.

This article focuses on the key valves indispensable to municipal water supply systems, which act as critical "traffic controllers" to ensure the reliable and safe delivery of clean water to cities. It details six core valve types: gate valves (for full flow isolation), butterfly valves (compact flow control), check valves (backflow prevention), globe valves (precision regulation for small-diameter lines), pressure relief valves (overpressure protection), and air release valves (eliminating air pockets). For each type, the article explains its design features, typical applications, and key specifications, such as compliance with industry standards (AWWA, NSF 61) and size ranges. Additionally, it outlines key considerations for valve selection—including application purpose, pipeline size and pressure, water quality, and maintenance requirements—to help municipal engineers, contractors, and facility managers make informed decisions. Ultimately, the article emphasizes that selecting the right valves is essential for enhancing system efficiency, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring the long-term safety and sustainability of municipal water infrastructure.

Globe valves and ball valves are widely used for fluid control in various pipelines, but they differ greatly in working principles, structure, performance, and applications. Globe valves use linear motion (multi-turn) to control flow, featuring a complex structure, unidirectional installation, high pressure drop, excellent throttling capability, and higher maintenance needs—ideal for precise flow regulation in high-temperature/pressure scenarios like steam control and chemical dosing. Ball valves rely on 90-degree quarter-turn rotation, with a simple, compact structure, bidirectional installation, low pressure drop, excellent sealing, fast operation, and low maintenance—suited for quick on/off shut-off in high-flow, energy-efficient applications such as main water or gas lines. Common mistakes to avoid include using standard ball valves for throttling and installing globe valves backwards. For reliable, high-quality valves meeting these diverse needs, WESDUN, a trusted international manufacturer, offers a full range of globe and ball valves adhering to international standards, with customization options, professional technical guidance, and global after-sales support for projects like water treatment, oil and gas, and chemical industry.
