Are the valves for oil pipelines made from L360 forged steel? I don’t know much about materials.
When the pressure is not high, cast steel is generally used. If you use forged steel, manufacturers can also produce it, but the price might be very high.
I’m not very familiar with valves, but in terms of materials, it’s theoretically possible to have them.
There is nothing impossible – only things that haven’t been thought of yet! Manufacturers can generally customize valves according to the customer’s requirements!
Sure, they are available. They are commonly used in boilers and in the petrochemical industry; the key components for such processes need to be imported
L360 is rarely used for valves; it is generally used for pipes and pipe fittings
Check the technical parameters and operating conditions. The quantity is also taken into account. The L360 material is expensive.
The original poster: “L360 is a way of designating pipe materials; in terms of its chemical composition, it’s actually ordinary carbon steel. You shouldn’t confuse pipe materials with forged materials.”
