Finishes
Our unfinished ball is the matte type finish of regular stainless steel, with a visible weld ring around the diameter of the float.
We can offer a brushed finish, where the weld seam is polished smooth, but it is not a complete mirror finish.
Or we can offer a fully polished ball whereby the ball has a mirror finish.
Pressure Testing
We have equipment available to pressure test the floats. If you have a higher than normal pressure requirement, we can test the floats to meet your specifications.
