Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this 304 stainless steel stock sheet meets stringent industry requirements for hydraulic fluid handling and pressure containment. Its 0.417-inch (approx. 10.6 mm) thickness provides robust structural integrity for fabrication into manifolds, reservoirs, and structural supports. The 19-inch by 48-inch dimensions offer ample material for custom machining and assembly. The inherent passivity and low magnetic permeability of 304 stainless steel ensure excellent performance in corrosive environments and prevent galvanic corrosion when in contact with other metals, crucial for long-term hydraulic system operation.
