In the marine industry, downtime isn’t just costly — it’s critical. When one of our clients required a rapid-response supply of high-pressure stainless steel socket weld fittings, Integraflow delivered the goods — fast.
These 6000 psi rated 316/L stainless steel fittings were machined to spec and delivered to site in under 3 days, helping keep a major vessel’s water ballast system operational and compliant.
The Job
The project involved a repair to a water ballast system aboard a commercial vessel. With corrosion resistance and pressure integrity a top priority, the customer needed socket weld fittings rated for 6000 PSI and compliant with marine-grade standards.
With no time to waste and availability limited across most UK stockists, Integraflow was contacted to source, machine, certify, and dispatch — all within an extremely tight window.
