ASTM A276 316 vs ASTM A182 316
(OP)
I have noticed that the bill of material for many API 603 valve manufactures specifies a ASTM A182 316 stem material. However in API 600 trim designations, the stainless trim stem material recommended is ASTM A276 316. I am curious why the deviation for API 603 valves? Is there some corrosion resistance, temperature or performance benefit?

API 600 says a "Typical material" is A276 Type 316 not "recommended material". So using A182 F316 is acceptable.
