Both products have successfully reduced the gas leakage and installation cost for our clients due to its effective and durable structure.
Mr. Huang, Chairman of ZK International, stated, “We pride ourselves on being thought of leaders within the water and gas industry in China. Our focus during each event was to not only unveil new, proprietary technology to the market, but also educate key decision makers and leaders on where we believe the industry is headed. The product we are particularly proud of are our thin-walled, stainless steel pipe connections, which reduces risks of potential water or gas leaks. We also presented our independently drafted white paper titled, ‘Technical Regulations for Crimping Carbon Steel Fitting’, which outlines our proposal for stainless steel piping as a new standard in the industry, bringing a more cost-effective and safe option for future water and gas pipeline projects in China. We care deeply for the future infrastructure of China and will continue to participate in industry events such as these.”
Mr. Guojing Chi, Secretary General of China Gas Association, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Construction in China, commented on ZK International’s presentation, “ZK International’s thin-walled, stainless steel pipe and carbon steel pipe are key technical advancements in the current gas industry in China.
