Our Story

about BAODI

Ningbo Baodi Plastic Valve Co., Ltd. traces its origins back to 1979, with its predecessors being Zhenhai Chemical Valve Factory and Beilun Plastic Valve Factory. The company is one of the earliest CPVC Lined Diaphragm Valves Manufacturers and Custom CPVC Lined Diaphragm Valves Factory in China to design and produce industrial plastic valves and receive acceptance from the Ministry of Chemical Industry. In 1979, the company manufactured its first plastic diaphragm valve, which passed the technical appraisal of the Ministry of Chemical Industry in 1983. In 1992, the company invented the one-piece flange ball valve, a structural design that has since become the most widely used plastic valve product in chemical-related industries. The development history of the company and its predecessors also represents an important chapter in the application of plastic valves in China's industrial production.

In 2006, the company expanded its product line to cover industrial plastic pipes and fittings, becoming one of the first domestic enterprises to apply CPVC material in the production of industrial-grade piping valves. Over more than 40 years since its establishment, the company has designed and manufactured various plastic valves for the most demanding industries. It has served tens of thousands of enterprises both domestically and internationally, exporting to more than 60 countries, and has consistently remained a leading manufacturer of industrial thermoplastic valves and piping systems. Our professional service and stable quality have always been well received and recognized by customers.

Baodi ranks among the global leaders in the number of product categories, capable of fully covering industrial plastic pipe and valve requirements. The company has obtained ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 system certifications, as well as the national special equipment pressure piping component manufacturing license.

Overview

A CPVC flow path for diaphragm valve service beyond standard PVC-U's temperature range

CPVC where the process runs hotter than PVC-U allows

CPVC lined diaphragm valves use a body or internal lining molded from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride rather than standard PVC-U, raising the usable temperature ceiling to around 95°C while retaining most of PVC-U's broad chemical resistance. This makes CPVC the practical choice wherever a diaphragm valve is needed on hot process water, elevated-temperature acids and alkalis, or hot chemical transfer lines that would otherwise soften or distort a PVC-U body over time.

The same clog-resistant, stem-free sealing at higher temperature

The valve keeps the same weir-type flow path and flexible diaphragm arrangement used across the PVC-U diaphragm valve range, so solids-handling ability and throttling performance are unchanged — only the operating temperature range is extended. A diaphragm rated for the higher temperature, typically EPDM or FPM depending on the fluid, completes the assembly, isolating the bonnet and stem from hot process media just as it does on standard-temperature diaphragm valves.

Application

Where CPVC diaphragm valves are specified over standard PVC

CPVC is chosen wherever the fluid temperature would push a PVC-U diaphragm valve beyond its safe operating range.

Hot Process Water Systems
Diaphragm shutoff and throttling on hot water circuits in manufacturing and utility plants.
Elevated-Temperature Chemical Processing
Hot acid, alkali, and salt solution transfer lines carrying particulates.
Cooling Tower Chemical Treatment
Diaphragm control on warm water blowdown and biocide dosing lines.
Electroplating & Metal Finishing
Heated plating bath and hot rinse line shutoff resistant to fouling.
Hot Water Distribution
Domestic and commercial hot water isolation up to CPVC's rated temperature.
Textile & Dye Processing
Hot dye bath and process water lines carrying suspended dye particles.
Material Comparison

CPVC against the other common diaphragm valve body materials

Choosing CPVC over PVC-U, PP, or PVDF comes down to the temperature and chemical profile of the line it protects.

Advantage

Why plants choose CPVC over standard PVC diaphragm valves

Higher Temperature Ceiling
Handles hot water and elevated-temperature chemical duty that would soften a PVC-U valve.
Retained Chemical Resistance
Keeps the broad acid, alkali, and salt resistance familiar from PVC-U chemistry.
No Stem Packing Leak Path
The diaphragm isolates hot process fluid from the bonnet just as it does at standard temperature.
Handles Solids at Elevated Temperature
Weir flow path resists clogging with hot slurries and particulate-laden fluids.
Effective Throttling
Diaphragm position gives proportional flow control on hot process lines.
Broad Connection Options
Socket, threaded, and flanged ends fit CPVC pipe and equipment across common project standards.
Structure & Components

What is inside the valve

A compressor driven by the handwheel presses a temperature-rated diaphragm down onto the weir seat within the CPVC body.

1. CPVC Body — Weir-type body rated for elevated-temperature service
2. Flexible Diaphragm — Temperature-rated elastomer membrane that isolates process fluid from the bonnet
3. Compressor — Transfers stem movement into diaphragm deflection
4. Bonnet — Houses the compressor and stem, bolted to the body
5. Stem & Handwheel — Manually raises and lowers the compressor to control flow
6. Weir Seat — Raised flow restriction in the body that the diaphragm seals against
Quality Control

Every valve is checked before it ships

Inspections confirm both sealing performance and dimensional accuracy, with attention to CPVC's higher-temperature service.

1
Material Check
Incoming CPVC resin and diaphragm elastomer batches are checked for correct grade and consistency.
2
Hydrostatic Test
Each valve body is pressure tested with water to confirm it withstands its rated working pressure.
3
Elevated-Temperature Seal Check
Sample units are checked for consistent sealing performance near the upper temperature rating.
4
Diaphragm Seal Test
An air or water seal test verifies bubble-tight shutoff with the diaphragm fully seated.
5
Compressor Travel Check
Stem and compressor travel are checked for smooth, full-range operation.
6
Batch Traceability
Production batches are recorded, allowing traceability back to raw material lots.
Actuation

Manual, pneumatic, or electric

A bonnet-mounted actuator interface allows the handwheel to be replaced with pneumatic or electric operation for automated hot-process duty.

Installation & Maintenance

Getting it right in the field

Installation Guidance
  • Use CPVC-specific solvent cement for socket connections, since PVC cement is not compatible with CPVC pipe and fittings.
  • Allow solvent-welded joints to fully cure before pressurizing or heating the line, per the cement manufacturer's guidance.
  • Support the pipeline near the valve to avoid placing stress on the body during thermal expansion and contraction.
  • Operate the handwheel through its full range after installation to confirm smooth diaphragm travel before service.
Maintenance Guidance
  • Inspect the diaphragm periodically for cracking, permanent set, or chemical attack, particularly after repeated thermal cycling.
  • Replace the diaphragm as a scheduled maintenance item rather than waiting for a visible failure on critical hot lines.
  • Allow the line to cool before servicing the valve to avoid handling hot CPVC components under load.
  • Keep spare diaphragms of the correct temperature-rated material on hand to minimize downtime during replacement.

FAQ

Common questions

How does CPVC differ from standard PVC-U in this diaphragm valve?
CPVC keeps PVC-U's broad chemical resistance but raises the safe operating temperature to about 95°C, making it suitable for hot water and elevated-temperature chemical duty that would soften a PVC-U valve.
Can I use regular PVC solvent cement on CPVC connections?
No. CPVC requires CPVC-specific solvent cement; standard PVC cement will not form a proper joint on CPVC pipe and fittings.
What is the maximum working temperature and pressure?
Working temperature reaches up to about 95°C, with pressure up to 150 psi (10 bar) at 20°C, decreasing as temperature rises.
Does the diaphragm also need to be rated for the higher temperature?
Yes, the diaphragm elastomer, typically EPDM or FPM, is selected to match both the process chemistry and CPVC's elevated temperature range.
Can the valve be used for hot, particulate-laden fluids?
Yes, the weir-type flow path resists clogging with hot slurries and particulates, the same benefit the diaphragm design offers at standard temperature.
