1 Overview

With the rapid development of China's heavy chemical industry, the level of industrial automation has also been greatly improved. In the process industry, the measurement of three physical parameters of temperature, pressure, and flow is the most important basic parameter for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of production, especially for the measurement of temperature parameters.

In the industrial field, a large number of temperature measurement instruments used in accordance with the working methods can be divided into contact type temperature measuring instruments and non-contact temperature measurement instrument two types. Contact temperature measuring instruments mainly include: glass rod thermometers, bimetal thermometers, thermal resistance sensors, thermocouple sensors, temperature transmitters and on-site display instruments, etc. Non-contact temperature measuring instruments mainly include infrared thermometers and thermal imagers.

How to ensure the accuracy of the temperature measuring instrument is an important issue for all companies, so the temperature calibration instrument industry also rises and grows rapidly. The temperature calibrator refers to the value indicated by the temperature measuring instrument or the measuring system under the specified conditions, which is evaluated by the corresponding temperature standard. That is, a temperature reference standard is used to assign the value of the temperature instrumentation to the temperature instrument. The meter's magnitude is traced back to the value reproduced by the temperature reference standard. Temperature calibration instrument and its supporting equipment mainly include: standard platinum resistance thermometer, standard thermocouple thermometer, standard glass thermometer, standard constant temperature equipment, high temperature furnace, temperature calibrator, process instrument calibrator, infrared temperature calibrator.

2. Current status and development trend of temperature calibration instrument user industry
China is currently one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. In the past decade, China’s GDP growth rate ranks first in the world. The rapid growth over the years has led to the development of basic industries, and its strength has been rapidly increased, with oil, chemicals, and electricity. The industries represented by heavy metallurgy, machinery and other heavy chemical industries are developing very rapidly. As an important pillar industry of the national economy, the state has consistently maintained high investment in these industries. The development speed of these industries is also much higher than that of other industries. The measurement and calibration industry as a national economic security industry has also seen rapid development.

(1) Petroleum, chemical industry Oil fields, gas fields, oil refineries and other units are important fields for the application of temperature calibrators in the petrochemical industry. Take the national large-scale oil refinery and large-scale ethylene chemical plant as an example, the temperature measurement instrument has reached tens of thousands of units, and the annual update amount reaches more than 10%.

In 2010, China's newly added refining capacity will be approximately 3,500,000 tons per year. In the next three years, China will also start construction of large-scale refinery projects in Sichuan, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Shanghai. It is estimated that by 2011, China's new oil refining capacity will reach 40.1 million tons. In 2011, the annual growth rate of China's refining capacity was 6% to 7%.

Sichuan Gas Field and Karamay Gas Field are gas fields rich in natural gas resources in China. Sichuan Gas Field is rich in natural gas resources and is one of the largest gas fields in the world with proven reserves of over 100 billion cubic meters. The Mara Gas Field discovered in Karamay Field in 2006 can produce 1.3 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. In December 2008, the construction of the first phase of the Karamay Formation in the natural gas field with over 100 billion m3 of reserves in the Junggar Basin was completed and put into operation, which enabled the Karamay Oilfield to exceed 10 million cubic meters of natural gas per day.

The major oil fields in China have a certain scale of oil production. Daqing Oilfield produced 400.0299 million tons of crude oil; Shengli Oil Field produced a total of 27,100,000 tons of crude oil, which maintained a stable growth for 10 consecutive years and maintained a balance of storage and production for 13 consecutive years. Changqing Oil Field produced a total of 15.72 million tons of crude oil and 19 billion cubic meters of natural gas. Breaking 30 million tons, it has become the largest increase in domestic production, the fastest growing, and the best growing oil and gas fields. Bohai oilfield has an oil and natural gas equivalent of more than 20 million tons and crude oil production of nearly 1 million barrels. Yanchang Petroleum Group produces 11.21 million tons of crude oil and 80 million tons of proven geological reserves. Xinjiang oil field has achieved 10.89 million tons of crude oil and 10.7 million tons of commodities. The output of natural gas is 3.6 billion cubic meters and the commodity volume is 1.79 billion cubic meters.

The chemical industry represented by ethylene industry and chemical fertilizer industry is also steadily developing. In 2010, with the successive completion and production of Tianjin Petrochemical and Zhenhai Refining & Chemical million-ton ethylene plants, the annual ethylene production capacity in China has reached 14.5 million tons. In spite of this, China's ethylene production capacity still cannot meet domestic demand, and improving domestic supply capacity is still an important task for China's ethylene industry in the future. The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” of the chemical fertilizer industry issued by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation in 2011 pointed out that advancing industrial technological advancement, intensifying corporate mergers and reorganizations, extending the industrial chain of the industry, and deploying upstream industries to improve the economic benefits of the industry. The introduction of planning promotes stable and healthy development of the industry.

Li Yongwu, president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, stated that China's petroleum and chemical industries have developed rapidly during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, and the output of various petrochemical products ranks among the top in the world. In 2010, the industry’s total output value reached 8.88 trillion yuan. By the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan," this figure is expected to increase to 15 trillion yuan.

2) The temperature measurement in the power industry's power production process forms the basis of automatic and protective devices. The accuracy of temperature measurement is one of the important indicators of the instrument. If there is any error, it will directly affect the safety of the power generation company's operation. The tester plays an important role in supervising the accuracy of temperature measurement. The power industry stipulates the requirements of temperature calibration laboratories in its “Design Standard for Thermal Industrial Automation Laboratories”. According to the power generation capabilities of power plants, laboratories of different sizes are required, and investment of several hundred thousand yuan is generally required.

The National Development and Reform Commission's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" of the Electric Power Industry and the Vision of the 2020 Vision proposes that the basic principles for the development of China's electric power industry are: deepening the reform of the system, strengthening the construction of the power grid, vigorously developing hydropower, optimizing the development of coal-fired electricity, and actively developing nuclear power, and appropriate Develop natural gas power generation, accelerate the development of new energy, attach importance to ecological environmental protection, and increase energy efficiency. The power industry in China will continue to develop steadily in the next few years.

The total installed capacity in China reached 950 million kilowatts at the end of 2010, and it still ranks second in the world. After the United States, the installed capacity of the United States is approximately 1.1 billion kilowatts. It is worth noting that during the past five years we have increased 430 million kilowatts. In the next three to five years, China's installed capacity for electric power will not increase below 60 million kilowatts per year.

(3) Metallurgical industry The metallurgical industry is also a large amount of temperature meters, and a large number of temperature measuring instruments are needed in metal smelting, cold rolling, hot rolling and other processes. China's large-scale iron and steel company Shanghai Baosteel Group has more than 100,000 pieces of temperature measuring instruments and more than 10% of the annual updated instruments. The quantity of temperature measuring instruments of other metallurgical enterprises in China is slightly different from that of the blast furnace and technology owned by the company.

After the rapid development of the steel industry, there will not be too high growth rates in the next few years. However, with the macroeconomic fundamentals remaining stable, China's steel industry output and demand will continue to grow in 2011, but the increase will decrease. Small, the possibility of sudden changes in the production and operation of enterprises is also less likely. Among them, crude steel production will maintain a modest growth. China's crude steel production in 2011 is expected to reach 660 million tons to 670 million tons, which will be lower than the 2010 level. Since the development of China's steel industry will shift from "high-speed extensive" type to "fine deceleration" type, it is estimated that the average annual growth rate during the "12th Five-year Plan" period will be about 6%.

(4) Mechanical processing industry In the mechanical processing industry, the quality control of heat treatment process and the measurement of engine shaft temperature require accurate temperature measurement. Even some important parts that are difficult to disassemble need to be embedded with multiple temperature sensors as a backup to measure. temperature.

The equipment manufacturing industry, a symbol of national technological capabilities, has also developed rapidly in China, in developed countries such as Boeing Aircraft Corporation of the United States, General Electric Company, Ford Motor Company, etc., Siemens AG of Germany, Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company, etc., Mitsubishi of Japan. Heavy industry, Toyota Motor Corp. and other companies are leaders in equipment manufacturing. In recent years, China’s equipment manufacturing industry has also experienced rapid development. There are national-level, centrally-affiliated companies: the first heavy industry group, the second heavy industry group, the First Automobile Group Corporation, and local directly-affiliated companies such as Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, etc. Sany Heavy Industry and other private enterprises.

In 2010, China’s manufacturing output reached US$1.955 trillion, accounting for 19.8% of the world's total manufacturing output, and it has more than doubled in five years. In 2010, the total output value of China's auto industry was around 4 trillion yuan. In 2010, the total output value of China's construction machinery industry reached 430 billion yuan.

(5) Metrology and Calibration Industry Temperature measurement and calibration are important components of the metrology and calibration industry and are one of the top ten metrological measures. At present, the investment of temperature calibration instruments by various enterprises and institutions in China is also very impressive.

Before China joined the World Trade Organization, metrological verification departments assumed the state's statutory transfer of value and traceability tasks. After joining the WTO, the state approved the establishment of a large number of calibration and testing companies. year 2010. Measurement and calibration units such as the Shanghai Institute of Metrology and China Institute of Electronic Product Reliability and Environmental Testing have revenues of more than 300 million yuan. In addition, the company’s revenue in 2010, which was listed on the ChiNext, exceeded 350 million yuan. The rapid economic growth in China has also driven the rapid growth of the metrology and calibration industry. It is expected that the measurement and calibration industry will increase by more than 12% during the 12th five-year period.

In addition, the defense, instrumentation, meteorology, food, medical care, colleges and research institutes and other industrial sectors have also maintained rapid and steady development. In these areas, a large number of temperature calibration instruments are needed to ensure the normal development of their work.

3, market demand for temperature calibration instruments

Because the process flow of each industry is different, the temperature control requirements are also very different, so the demand for temperature calibration instruments in various industries is also very different, among which the demand for temperature calibrators in the four industries of petrochemical, power, metallurgy, and machinery Larger, the need for calibration calibration industry is not small. The annual demand for temperature calibrators in the petrochemical industry is approximately 200 million yuan, the annual demand for the power industry is approximately 100 million yuan, the metallurgical industry is approximately 50 million yuan, and the demand for temperature calibrators in the machinery industry is approximately 0.60 billion yuan. The demand for measurement and calibration industry is about 0.5 billion yuan, and other industries are about 200 million yuan each year. The total market capacity of temperature calibrators in China is about 660 million yuan in 2011, driven by the stable development of the downstream industry. The annual demand for temperature calibrators will maintain an annual growth rate of about 10%.

The development of temperature calibration instrumentation technology and products must also meet the needs of the market. Energy saving and emission reduction have become global issues. Our country's energy saving and emission reduction tasks and society's requirements for environmental protection are also increasing. These have greatly promoted the growth of the temperature calibration instrument market. More and more industries need temperature meters that are calibrated on the work site, and temperature calibration instruments have the trend of tools.
