Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.892-inch thick stock sheet measures 43 inches in length and 29 inches in width. Fabricated from 304 stainless steel, it offers exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly against a wide range of chemicals and atmospheric conditions. This makes it ideal for components within hydraulic manifolds, pressure vessels, and structural supports in fluid power systems where material integrity and resistance to oxidation are paramount. The austenitic structure of 304 stainless steel also provides excellent formability and weldability for custom fabrication.
