When only stainless steel will do
For an array of industries, only stainless steel will do. Here we take you through the stainless steel pneumatic products available from API Pneumatic UK, as well as highlighting the essential properties of 316 stainless steel and the multiple stainless steel pneumatic cylinder applications that might benefit from our product range.
Stainless steel pneumatic cylinder uses
Stainless steel components from API Pneumatic UK are manufactured from the highest grade 316 stainless steel to provide you and your application with the most durable and highest quality product. 316 stainless steel is highly chemical and corrosion resistant against materials such as chlorides, sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid.
Not only is 316 stainless steel corrosion resistant, it also functions exceptionally well in extreme temperatures associated with a range of harsh industries. Our products manufactured in this grade of stainless steel are also designed to be FDA compliant for use in applications where hygiene is of the highest importance.
API stainless steel pneumatic products
At API Pneumatic UK, we have an extensive range of stainless steel pneumatic components, to provide you with a complete solution for your application. We not only manufacture the highest quality stainless steel pneumatic cylinders, we also have a wide range of stainless steel valves. A speciality of API is our ability to manufacture stainless steel spool valves. When used in combination with our stainless steel pneumatic cylinders, our spool valves ensure the entire valve body, down to the valve, is completely stainless steel and therefore far more corrosion resistant.
Other stainless steel products from API Pneumatic UK include:
• Modular airline equipment
• Fittings
• Air reservoirs
• Mounting accessories
Stainless steel pneumatic cylinder applications
For some industries, stainless steel is the only material that will do. Whether for extreme environments or for the highest hygiene standards, stainless steel provides an optimal solution. Stainless steel pneumatic cylinder applications include everything from the oil and gas industry to the medical industry.
Stainless steel for pharmaceutical, medical and food and beverage applications
In the medical, pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries, hygiene and thorough cleaning is essential. Everything down to the pneumatic cylinders must conform to certain stringent standards to ensure these guidelines are met. Our cylinders, for example, are designed with a smooth surface to avoid any areas where contamination could happen. In other designs, the endcaps are specifically manufactured to eliminate cavities which could otherwise compromise hygiene.
We ensure that our stainless steel products for pharmaceutical applications, medical applications and food and beverage applications are manufactured fully in line with any industry requirements. Our food grade stainless steel pneumatic cylinders conform specifically to FDA 21 CFR 178 to guarantee their complete reliability.
Stainless steel for harsh environments
There are industries where chemical and corrosion resistance is paramount. In harsh environments found in the oil and gas, north sea and chemical industries, high levels of resistance are crucial. At API UK, our stainless steel pneumatic cylinders and pneumatic products are manufactured to withstand these aggressive environments. Many of our API Pneumatic UK pneumatic cylinders are also available in ATEX versions for explosive environments.
