AISI 904L Forged Valves
AISI 904L Forged Valves have greater strength as compared to cast body valves and have high pressure retaining capacity. 904L forged valve bodies are costlier but sustainable with longer service life. This includes ball valves, globe, gate valves, check valves, needle valves, etc.
Anand Steels is a manufacturer and supplier of AISI 904L forged valves with flanged end, socket-weld, threaded and butt-weld connections. Available in variety of types, sizes and pressure class, these 904L forged valves are produced in full compliance with ASTM A182/A182M F904L material specifications. Stainless steel 904l forged valves are duly marked for traceability. We offer worldwide shipping by Sea or Air freight options.
