Shaanxi Steam Natural Gas Heavy Truck
Pressure vessel and boiler quality steel are commonly found throughout the oil industry (including inshore and offshore), the petrochemical industry and the gas production industry. The companies in these industries set the highest demands in terms of quality, testing and conditions of supply, and we have all the necessary expertise to meet these demands.
In recognition of the increasing need for pressure vessel Steel Plate to demonstrate HIC Resistant properties. Our product is also particularly suited for pressure equipment where wet H2S corrosion can be a problem.
Pressure vessel steel plate covers a range of steel grades that are designed for use in pressure vessel, boilers, heat exchanges and any other vessel that contains a gas or liquid at high pressures.
Familiar examples include gas cylinders for cooking and for welding, oxygen cylinders for diving and many of the large metallic tanks that you see in an oil refinery or chemical plant.
There is a huge range of different chemicals and liquid that that stored and processed under pressure. These range from relatively benign substances such as milk and palm oil to crude oil and natural gas and their distillates to highly lethal acids and chemicals such as methyl isocyanate. So of these processes need the gas or liquid to be very hot, whilst others contain it at very low temperatures. As a result there is a wide variety of different pressure vessel steel grades that meet the different use cases.
In general these can be divided into three groups. There is a group of carbon steel pressure vessel grades. These are standard steels and can cope with many applications where there is low corrosion and low heat. As heat and corrosion have more effect on the steel plates chromium, molybdenum and nickel are added to provide additional resistance.
The manufacture of pressure vessels is tightly regulated as a result of the risks involved and as a consequence the materials that can be used in vessels is also tightly specified. The most common specifications for pressure vessel steels are the EN10028 standards – which are European in origin – and the the ASME/ASTM standards which are from the US.
Our strength is in the very high specification pressure vessel steel plate used in the oil and gas industry and specifically in steel plate resistant to Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC).

Despite the rampant gas prices, the natural gas heavy truck market continued to prosper in 2013. According to statistics, in 2013, the sales volume of natural gas heavy trucks was approximately 30,000, an increase of 80% year-on-year, and Shaanxi Auto took the lead with 12,000 vehicles.
Shaanxi Auto maintains its leading position In 2013, Shaanxi Natural Gas sold only more than 10,000 units of Shaanxi Auto in the natural gas heavy truck market. In 2013, Shaanqi Natural Gas heavy trucks maintained a good momentum of growth. The annual sales of natural gas heavy trucks exceeded 12,000 units, becoming the first company in the industry to produce and sell 10,000 units of natural gas products, and continued to defend its status as a leader in the natural gas heavy truck market.
It is understood that in Shaanxi Shaanxi natural gas products are still dominated by tractors, accounting for 88.5% of the total, dump truck sales exceeded 1200, accounting for 10.43%. From the perspective of market segments, the sales of 6×4 tractors, 6×2 tractors, and 8×2 dump trucks have all significantly increased, and the natural gas product structure has become more reasonable.
2014 benefited from two positive bullish on natural gas heavy truck market <br> <br> enter 2014, with the national IV standards are being implemented in the country, natural gas heavy truck will usher in greater market opportunities.
Although the Fourth National Emissions Regulations were not implemented as scheduled in 2013, most heavy-duty truck companies all agreed that National IV will be implemented on a larger scale in 2014. This will be a good factor for natural gas heavy trucks.
Industry analysts pointed out that due to the replacement cost and use cost of the National IV diesel heavy trucks, the cost performance of natural gas heavy trucks will be further improved. It is expected that the sale of natural gas heavy trucks will increase significantly in 2014.
In 2014, the four regulations for diesel country IV and natural gas countries will be implemented nationwide. The cost of diesel heavy truck purchases that meet the national IV standard will increase by about 30,000 yuan, while the purchase of natural gas heavy trucks that meet the national five standards will only increase by about 0.8 million yuan. With the national subsidies for energy saving and emission reduction of 50,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan and the partial introduction of local subsidies, the price of natural gas trucks will be lower than that of diesel vehicles.
In addition, with the implementation of the National IV, the price of diesel oil may increase by 0.32 yuan/liter, the annual fuel cost of a vehicle will increase by at least 1.3 million yuan, and the annual use fee of urea will be about 15,000 yuan. The cost of diesel heavy trucks will be used. Will continue to rise. In the long term, LNG prices will become lower and lower.
Second, as haze weather continues to be severe, the central and local governments will be forced to introduce policies to encourage the use of natural gas heavy trucks and to promote the use of natural gas heavy trucks.
Experts said that the short supply of gas and natural gas prices have little effect on the natural gas truck market. Three barrels of oil have invested hundreds of billions in the natural gas market. When President Xi Jinping visited Turkmenistan in the first half of 2013, he signed hundreds of billions of yuan in natural gas cooperation agreements. Moreover, in the long run, natural gas is a clean energy source and is in line with future developments. Therefore, short-term increases in prices and tight gas sources will not affect the long-term growth trend of the natural gas heavy truck market.
The state will continue to adjust its energy structure and the proportion of coal energy will continue to decrease. At the same time, the country will continue to support the natural gas industry, provide huge subsidies for shale gas exploitation, and open up LNG import rights and marketization of prices. Moreover, the Ministry of Communications will continue to subsidize energy-saving emission reductions for LNG heavy trucks at 2,000 yuan/ton, and may even increase its efforts. More and more local governments will also join the ranks of subsidies.
