STAINLESS STEEL BY A.P.I.

The company's privileged relationship with this raw material and its importance in the pneumatic automation.

Stainless steel, in the AISI 304 standard and, above all, in the AISI 316 & AISI 316L standards, plays an increasingly leading role in the industrial automation components.
This material, in addition to allowing both cold works and machining operations, has an high corrosion resistance, tolerates both extremely high and very low temperatures, is long lasting, requires minimal or no maintenance, is not altered by any agent, is highly hygienic and does not modify the color, smell and taste of the substances it comes in touch with.
These features makes this material suitable for many applications, but in particular it finds much space in the Food&Beverage, Chemical, Pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as Oil&Gas and Mining fields.

A.P.I., very far-sighted, many years ago decided to aim on the AISI 316 Stainless Steel and its advantages, so that today it can boast a wide and full range of pneumatic components made of this material.
Stainless Steel is so important for A.P.I., that the company devotes a whole section of its general catalog to the components made with this material. The section includes cylinders, valves, airline equipments, and accessories.
A.P.I. therefore it is able to offer components made of Stainless Steel and thus meet the most varied automation needs in every application area.
