Ayten Tube Fittings is a well-respected manufacturer and supplier located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. They specialize in high-quality Stainless Steel 304 Ball Valves that are designed for efficient and leak-proof fluid control. Crafted from top-notch SS 304 material, these valves boast impressive corrosion resistance, durability, and mechanical strength. Their design allows for smooth operation with minimal torque, making them ideal for both industrial and commercial fluid systems. Renowned for their ability to resist rust, chemical damage, and high temperatures, Stainless Steel 304 Ball Valves find extensive use in industries such as chemical processing, water treatment, oil and gas, power generation, and food & beverage.
Stainless Steel 304 Ball Valves are made up of 18–20% chromium, 8–10.5% nickel, and a maximum of 0.08% carbon, which ensures excellent corrosion resistance and weldability. This alloy provides a tensile strength of about 515 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, along with impressive elongation and hardness. SS 304 remains stable and resistant to oxidation at temperatures up to 870°C. Its well-balanced composition gives it remarkable mechanical toughness and ductility, making it a reliable choice for high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments, which is why it’s favored for precision-engineered ball valves.
