The trend of standardization in the ceramic industry is obvious

As the saying goes, "No rules, no rules." Any industry, any group, has its own "rules of the game." These rules have been written into the management system of the corresponding Legislative Council, but they are also unwritten. regulation. From the high-speed development history of ceramic industry for several decades, the more full of competition and marketization, the more full of its exposure problems. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to find that in the past decade, various standards of the ceramic industry have come one after another, and the standardization trend of the ceramic industry is very obvious. What exactly is the standardization of China's ceramics industry? Those standards in current standards need to be further improved. What standards are expected to be formulated by the country in the next phase? The newspaper interviewed Huang Xinhong, Secretary-General of the Professional Committee of Building Ceramics of China Ceramic Industry Association, and Yin Hong, Secretary-General of Foshan Ceramic Industry Association.

Standards are the basic standards that promote industry standardization. They are the basic laws and regulations of the modern industrial society. National standards are very important. If the country does not have standards that everyone recognizes, then the development of the industry will be confusing and this is unthinkable. “The standard is not only a normative constraint on the company, but also an action to protect our consumers and regulate the industry. It not only binds you, but regulates the behavior of you and other people's business and production, and regulates the entire industry. The things produced by enterprises are not only for consumers, but some of them are for enterprises' own use. If there is no standard, the whole industry and even the country will be in disorder. Without standards, sustainable development is almost impossible. A good industry standard Whether it is for the long-term development of the industry, or to protect the rights and interests of consumers are very important.” Huang Xinhong, Secretary-General of the Ceramic Ceramics Professional Committee of the China Ceramic Industry Association, said that with standards, we know how to control the entire production process and how to Control product quality, and consumers can also safeguard their own rights based on this industry standard. Therefore, the standard is very important, and it is the basis for the standardization of the industry and is indispensable for the development of the industry.

Some national standards need to be further improved. “Actually, some of the current standards are not very reasonable. For example, the energy consumption standard implemented on June 1, 2008 stipulates that how many tons of coal is consumed per ton of tiles. This calculation method is problematic.” Yin Hong said in an interview with reporters that the energy consumption and production ratio of ceramic tiles cannot be measured by the weight of the product. For example, a ceramic tile of the same weight is burned once, one is twice or even several times, how do you calculate the consumption? What about energy? Therefore, the current standards still need to be improved.

Huang Xinhong told reporters that many of the current standards are updated and gradually revised during use. “After the standard is implemented, it will not generally be static, and many problems will emerge gradually after they have been implemented for a period of time. For example, the “Quality Index” and “Emission Standards” issued by the National Development and Reform Commission are It is through the implementation of a period of time that some areas need to be improved and adjusted. For example, some indicators are too strict or too loose. These are problems that may exist in current standards. Huang Xinhong also gave an example: “The quality standards for ceramic tiles were previously It is divided into Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, etc. Later, the new standard is in order to be in line with international standards, and it is only classified as unqualified, but after the implementation, many companies do not think it is suitable for the domestic situation. There is still a long distance between passing and superior products, and the evaluation of this distance also needs a standard reference to be more appropriate. So even if it is an international standard, it is worth considering because it is suitable for us in China." In terms of international standards, they are revised according to a specific situation in China. These conditions are worth exploring. question. In view of the above reasons, we believe that the existing standards are still to be further improved.

Certain standards in China are lagging behind but standardization is the trend. The more fierce competition in the industry and the more fully developed, the more obvious and strict the standardization trend will be. This is an inevitable trend of almost all things and the development of the industry. After a rapid growth, the ceramics industry has entered a heyday. At the same time, the ceramics industry is also the industry with the most marketization in many industries and emerged in the development process. All kinds of problems must rely on the development of corresponding standards and constraints.

Yin Hong, secretary general of the Foshan Ceramics Industry Association, told reporters that the formulation of certain standards for the ceramic industry is relatively late. This is caused by various reasons, such as the distinction between porcelain and pottery, the definition of China and the international The standard is a divergence and it took a long time to finalize it. Although some standards are lagging behind, the standardization trend is obvious. Most of the current standards in the ceramic industry are gradually customized in the last decade.

Forward Forecast>>>

Yin Hong: The next phase of the standard or will go to the new product, such as the national standards of the ceramic industry under the standard of thin ceramic tiles, I think that may be to develop new products, such as the definition of ceramic sheet, but for the thin brick Definitions and standards are not yet complete. For example, if the bricks are thin, their compressive strength will be correspondingly weakened. How much of the thickness of the bricks is acceptable for compressive strength? There is no uniform standard for this. At the same time, with the trend of thin bricks, the standards for paving will also follow, such as the sticking standards of **sheets and so on.

Huang Xinhong: Energy-saving and environmental protection standards will eventually become more and more demanding. I believe that in the next phase of national standards development, energy-saving emission reduction, clean production standards will be more involved in the ceramic industry. Other standards will increase as we use it, but most urgently I think it should still be energy saving and environmental protection, and companies must not be lucky because energy saving and environmental protection is an inevitable trend, regardless of whether the country has more stringent measures at this stage. , but more and more strict is certain.

Standard formulation proposal >>>

Huang Xinhong: To formulate standards, we must listen more to the opinions of the companies and expand the scope of consultation.

Allowing companies to participate in the development of standards is a good thing. As a standard of a country or an industry, if there is no enterprise involved in the formulation, its applicability is to ask question marks. The enterprise is the most familiar with the industry, and the enterprise is the first line of production. Therefore, the participation of enterprises in the formulation of standards is a mature performance of a company or country, and the direct operability of enterprises is more operability. It shows that our country is continuously improving. This is a good thing.

In the future, when formulating standards, it is recommended to send a few more trips back and forth. It will allow companies to issue a few drafts. In addition to the members of the SC, the scope for soliciting opinions should be a little larger. Listen to the opinions of some companies and make more reasonable decisions about the standards. Help.

Many of our standards for building ceramics are in line with international standards. However, I suggest that in the future, the establishment of some standard rules should also consider the issue of integration with China's national conditions. When formulating standards, it is necessary to grasp the development trends of foreign standards on the one hand, and to make reference to some foreign standards. On the other hand, we must develop a mix of China's actual conditions and formulate standards that meet Chinese industry development and have Chinese characteristics.

Second, it is important for companies or industries to make forward-looking standard forecasts. For example, in terms of energy-saving and emission reduction, some standards may not be stipulated by the country or even internationally, but companies can do some forward-looking requirements. Energy-saving and emission-reduction is a worldwide issue. Now, it is not strictly required not to represent the future nor is it required. Therefore, our company can do some standard predictions in this respect, which also helps the development of the company.

Third, we must establish some standards for foreign companies to follow us. Standards not only regulate the role of the industry, but more importantly, he can win the right to speak in the international community. Now we also have some advanced products and technologies in China. We can work out relevant standards first and let foreign companies follow us. This will be beneficial to the development of our country in many cases. For example, to develop some of the characteristics of their own, can control the requirements, so that they have more advantages in the international competition, such standards on the development of the industry is more meaningful.

Focus dialogue>>>

Expert Insights on “Standards for Abduction of Companies” Reporter: The previous formulation of the definition of ceramic sheeting once caused a great uproar in the industry, and some media even accused the company of kidnapping standards. There will always be business participation in the formulation of standards, but participating companies often set a number of thresholds when setting standards in their own interests. How do you view this situation?

Huang Xinhong: When companies participate in the formulation of standards, they should formulate standards that are beneficial to themselves. I do not rule out this situation. This is not only in our country, but also in foreign countries. Many of them are set up based on their own advantages in competition, such as Some people I don’t have. I put others outside the door. Companies have this idea but in the end it may not be able to achieve their goals. Because the national standards are not set by a single company, although there may be some very new or very new technologies or product standards in some areas, only one of the two companies can produce. The standards that he may set will be more stringent, but after all, it is A few may not be in such a serious situation as “kidnapping”.

On the other hand, setting a higher standard can not be said to be completely a bad thing. This company can meet the high standards set, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for the development of the entire industry. For example, some common and shared technical problems may not be achieved if they are not formulated properly, because the standards will be revised in a few years, and if they are unreasonably formulated, they will be revised and improved in a few years.

Yin Hong: The standard is actually a kind of “speech right” in more time. Then the rules of the game are customized. It is easy to project the thoughts or inclinations of the natural drafters on this standard. First, taking into account their own interests when setting standards, it is also normal. The popular saying in the industry is that: Third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies do brands, and first-rate companies do standards. However, it cannot be said that the standards are completely based on the will of a certain other company. Standards will have a comprehensive balance. For example, non-terminal products do not have national standards. Therefore, enterprises participating in the establishment of standards will have Certain benefits, but the standard will certainly not be controlled by one company.

The current standard evaluation reporter: On July 1 this year, seven new national standards for building and sanitary ceramics have been formally implemented. So far it has been nearly six months. How do you view these standards? What is the implementation situation?

Huang Xinhong: The significance of the standard is related to its involvement, but some are significant points, or are more important in the long run. The first of the seven items, “Classification and Terminology of Building Sanitary Ceramics” is just like our language. If he does not have a unified statement or a name, he may have many deviations in the future during the exchange process or when discussing some technical issues. . By formulating this more standardized term, it will be more useful and meaningful to promote our industry standards or promote our production index in the future. It is the basis, and many standards may be established on this basis. Some standards change with the development of technology or the development of the market. They may change or change with the development of new products. However, the term usage time will be longer, and some adjustments may be made, but some standards It will increase more and more. Others are also more important, such as “Water-saving Sanitary Ware,” what is called water-saving, this is also a further clarification of some regulations and is also very important for energy-saving and emission reduction, but overall, from July 1 to the present, As the industry is sluggish, there are no problems.

Piston and Rod Seals

Piston Seals and Rod Seals are important seals used in mechanical equipment. Their main function is to prevent liquid and gas leaks and ensure the normal operation of mechanical equipment. Piston seals and rod seals are usually used in hydraulic and Pressure system, such as hydraulic cylinders and Pneumatic cylinder. The quality and performance of these seals directly affect the efficiency and lifespan of mechanical equipment.


The classification of piston seals and rod seals is mainly based on their material and design structure. According to the different materials, they can be divided into rubber seals, polyurethane seals, polytetrafluoroethylene seals, metal seals, etc. According to the different design structures, they can be divided into unidirectional seals, bidirectional seals, rotary seals, etc.


Rubber seals are a common type of seal, and their main material is rubber. Rubber seals have good sealing performance and wear resistance, and are suitable for medium and low pressure hydraulic systems and Pressure system. Polyurethane sealing element is a high-performance sealing element, and its main material is polyurethane. Polyurethane seals have high wear resistance, high temperature performance and high pressure performance, and are suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems and Pressure system. PTFE sealing element is a corrosion-resistant sealing element, and its main material is PTFE. PTFE seals have excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, making them suitable for fields such as chemical and food processing. Metal seals are a type of high-temperature and high-pressure seal, mainly made of metal. Metal seals have high temperature and high pressure performance and corrosion resistance, and are suitable for high temperature and high pressure hydraulic systems and Pressure system.


Unidirectional seals and bidirectional seals are classified based on different sealing directions. A unidirectional seal can only prevent the leakage of liquid or gas from one direction, while a bidirectional seal can prevent the leakage of liquid or gas from both directions. Rotating seal is a type of seal that can rotate and is mainly used for sealing rotating shafts. Rotary seals are divided into unidirectional rotary seals and bidirectional rotary seals.


Overall, piston seals and rod seals play a very important role in mechanical equipment. Choosing appropriate seals can improve the efficiency and lifespan of mechanical equipment, reduce maintenance costs and downtime. When selecting seals, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the working environment, pressure, and temperature of the mechanical equipment to choose a suitable seal.
