Frequently Asked Questions (SS 304 / 304L (UNS S30400 / S30403))

What is the difference between SS 304 and SS 304L?

SS 304L has a lower carbon content (<=0.03%) which prevents intergranular chromium carbide precipitation during welding, making 304L superior for heavy welded flange assemblies.

What pressure classes do Sakshi Forge SS 304 flanges handle?

We manufacture ASME B16.5 SS 304 flanges in Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500.

Do SS 304 products come with MTC?

Yes, every batch is supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate including PMI chemistry reports and heat number traceability.
