ASTM Standards for Material Composition of Needle Valves | Perfect Engineers

What is ASME B16.34?

Assured Quality. Global Compliance. Traceable Materials.

At Perfect Engineers, every needle valve is manufactured from raw materials that fully comply with the relevant ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. These standards define the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and manufacturing criteria for metals used in pressure-retaining components.

Our valves meet global procurement requirements for industries such as oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, and power generation.

What Are ASTM Material Standards?

ASTM standards specify:

  • Chemical composition limits (C, Cr, Ni, Mo, etc.)
  • Mechanical properties (tensile strength, hardness, elongation)
  • Manufacturing conditions (heat treatment, forging, etc.)
  • Marking, testing, and certification guidelines

These are essential for:

  •  Pressure-retaining valve bodies and bonnets
  •  Corrosion resistance in aggressive media

Compatibility with ASME B16.34, API 598, and CE/IBR projects
