Value Collection 20181 Stainless Steel Ball 11/32 in Grade 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20181 is a Grade 100 precision steel ball manufactured from 440-C stainless steel. It measures 11/32 inches in diameter and is engineered for tight tolerances, with a diameter deviation of 0.0005 inches and a sphericity of 0.0005 inches. Hardness ranges from 57 to 61 HRC, making this ball suitable for demanding load-bearing and wear-resistance applications. Maintenance technicians, engineers, and industrial service professionals use precision balls like this in valves, pumps, bearings, and instrumentation assemblies where dimensional accuracy is critical.

This precision ball is used in industrial and mechanical applications requiring corrosion-resistant, high-hardness components. 440-C stainless steel is a common choice for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or conditions where standard carbon steel would corrode. Typical applications include check valves, ball valves, flow control equipment, pump assemblies, and precision bearing races in both commercial and industrial settings. This item is sold in a package quantity of 50.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for industrial valves, pumps, and precision bearing assemblies requiring a Grade 100, 440-C stainless steel ball at 11/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical technicians depending on the application. Always depressurize and de-energize the system before replacing internal valve or pump components. Handle precision balls carefully to avoid surface nicks or contamination that could affect seating performance. Consult the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for housing tolerances and proper seating procedures.
