Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.976-inch thick sheet measures 21 inches in length and 29 inches in width. Fabricated from 304 stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of chemicals and fluids commonly found in hydraulic systems. Its high tensile strength and formability make it suitable for custom fabrication of hydraulic manifold blocks, fluid reservoirs, and structural components where resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion is paramount. The material's inertness also prevents contamination of hydraulic fluids.
