Product Description
316L Introduce
Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.
Grade 316L, the low carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitization (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). There is commonly no appreciable price difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel.
The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.
Compared to chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels, 316L stainless steel offers higher creep, stress to rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures.

316L Long Shaft Cryogenic Needle Valve Introduce

The long shaft cryogenic needle valve is a precise manual shut-off and flow regulation valve designed for ultra-low temperature conditions. Its distinctive feature is the long-necked and extended valve cover structure, which can be applied to pipelines transporting -196℃ low-temperature media. The valve body is mostly made of 304 or 316 austenitic stainless steel, maintaining good toughness at low temperatures and preventing cold cracking. The extended valve stem forms an insulating gas column, preventing heat from being transmitted upwards and protecting the upper packing components from freezing, ensuring flexible opening and closing and stable sealing. The conical valve needle and valve seat are precisely matched, and the rotation of the handwheel can be used to adjust the flow area, achieving precise control of small flows and achieving reliable sealing when closed. The product's diameters range from DN6 to DN20, with pressure coverage ranging from PN16 to PN100, suitable for liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid argon, LNG and other low-temperature media. It is widely used in air separation equipment, low-temperature storage tanks, liquefied natural gas facilities, low-temperature test pipelines, and instrument pressure guiding lines. It has the advantages of compact structure, strong pressure resistance, and convenient disassembly, maintenance and repair. It is the core pipe fitting for sampling, shut-off, and precise regulation in low-temperature storage and transportation and process pipelines.

316L Long Shaft Cryogenic Needle Valve Product Processing

1. Raw Material Inspection: Low-temperature specialized austenitic stainless steel and other materials are selected. Material certificates are verified, and chemical composition, mechanical properties, and low-temperature impact tests are re-inspected to ensure compliance with -196℃ operating requirements.

2. Precision Forging and Forming: Key components such as the valve body, valve cover, and valve stem are formed using die forging or free forging to ensure a dense microstructure. Post-forging heat treatment eliminates stress and improves low-temperature toughness and strength.

3. Rough Machining: Forgings are rough turned and rough milled using CNC lathes and milling machines to remove excess material, machine the shape and installation datum, and reserve reasonable dimensions for finish machining.

4. Finish Machining and Key Processes: The valve body sealing surface, valve seat hole, valve stem guide surface, and long-neck valve cover inner cavity are finish machined. The valve stem and valve needle are ground to ensure coaxiality and surface finish. The dimensions of the extended valve cover are strictly controlled to ensure the insulation structure meets standards.

5. Parts Machining and Selection: Machining parts such as packing sleeves and thrust washers; selecting low-temperature resistant packing and seals; selecting handwheels and fasteners according to low-temperature operating requirements.

6. Assembly and Debugging: Assembling the valve stem, packing, spring, and actuator according to the process sequence; adjusting the packing preload to ensure smooth valve stem movement without jamming; verifying the opening and closing torque and adjustment accuracy to ensure reliable sealing.

7. Inspection and Testing: Conducting full dimensional inspection, pressure resistance testing, and sealing performance testing; performing non-destructive testing on key components; only qualified components can proceed to the next process.

8. Surface Treatment, Marking, and Packaging: Passivating or rust-proofing the valve body; engraving specifications, pressure, material, and low-temperature markings; cleaning, protecting, and packaging before warehousing.
