Special CorrosionResistance Condition |
The metal case generally is produced from carbon steel for general applications in oil or grease. For special applications when sealing sea water or corrosive fluids or gasses, stainless steel can be applied at an increase in price. With water applications, cost may be reduced.
SPRING SPECIFICATION
| SPRING |
| SPECIFICATION NO. |
