Stainless Steel 310 Valves
Stainless Steel 310 valves are products that are made from an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel with very high heat and corrosion resistance. Stainless Steel 310 is containing 25% of chromium and 20% of nickel and it has higher oxidation resistance and high temperature strength. This makes these valves suitable for use in conditions that are likely to put a lot of stress on the valves.
