    Shell TAT/TAMAP list.

    Btw, yes, TAT is applicable for Check Valves as well. BFE Italy has the approval. Apart from 77/300 test which is performed one time and valid for a certain period of time, they do 77/312 Fugitive Emission Test for the forged valves.

    SS316 vs SS316L

    I understand that the difference between SS316 and SS316L is the amount of carbon content in the material. It is in less percentage in 316L than in 316. And CF3M and SS316L are the same except the latter is forged and the former is cast body. This difference, is it only valid when there is...
