Custom Sand Casting Valve Bodies

Custom Sand Casting Valve Bodies

Sand casting is the preferred method for manufacturing robust, cost-efficient valve bodies for industrial fluid control systems. Our foundry produces precision-cast valve bodies in gray iron, ductile iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel, ensuring reliability in high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. With custom machining, coatings, and testing available, we meet API, ASME, and ISO standards for industries worldwide.

     Sand Cast Valve Bodies

    Taiyuan SIMIS delivers Sand Casting Valve Bodies with superior surface finish, tight tolerances (±0.05mm)

    Design flexibility: Accommodates complex internal passages and custom flange designs

    Cost savings: 30-50% lower tooling costs vs. investment casting or forging

    Scalability: Suitable for prototypes (1-5 pieces) to mass production (10,000+ units)

    Material integrity: Slow cooling reduces internal stresses vs. die casting

    Manufacturing Process

    Green Sand Casting – – Ideal for high-volume production of gray iron valve bodies, cost-effective for standard geometries.

    No-Bake Sand Casting – – Superior dimensional accuracy for carbon and stainless steel bodies, perfect for low/medium volumes.

    Shell Molding – – Better surface finish for small-to-medium ductile iron valves (±0.3mm tolerance).

    Investment-Hybrid Casting – – Combines sand cores with investment casting for complex stainless steel designs. 

    Standard & Custom

    • Pressure rating: Class 150 to Class 2500 (ASME B16.34)

    • Size range: 2" (DN50) to 24" (DN600)

    • Surface treatments: Stellite hard-facing, PTFE coatings, galvanizing
