Standard Forged Valves
Download pdfMBF Standard Forged diaphragm valve bodies are integrally forged in ASTM 316L/DIN 1.4435 stainless, with Clamp, Tube or custom ends. Our materials are controlled to ASME BPE standards and our forgings are solution annealed to maintain a ferrite level below 5%. MBF bodies, in compliance with FDA guidelines and Good Manufacturing Practices, are specifically suited for use in ultra pure applications.
Precision machining of contours and profiles is performed on our state-of-the-art 5 axis CNC machines using specialized software for accuracy and finish. This technology assures repeatability, minimum handling, and proper drainability. Our standard BPE finishes, SFV1 (20Ra) & SFV5 (EP), are verified by profilometer.
Throughout the manufacturing process, we maintain material and process traceability in compliance with ISO 9001-2000. Each body is clearly identified and traceable to the original MTR and other related documents.
