Is the stainless steel ball valve forged steel ball? Which one is suitable for the gas pipeline?

Answer:

Stainless steel refers to the material composition, forged steel is a molding method. Not a concept.Stainless steel can be either a casting or a forging. For example, the relationship between CF8M and F316.
As for pipes, I don't need to forge steel. My suggestion is that they should be made of forged steel. This does not mean cast steel can not be used. Cast steel is also acceptable because all the check valves and control valves of natural gas lines are cast. But the casting process has a high probability of defects.
Natural gas pipelines look at bore, pressure, temperature, and composition.Clean natural gas with ordinary carbon steel ball valve on the line.Material basically A105N, LF2 based.
