1.4308 — ASTM Equivalent

Holding a datasheet that specifies 1.4308 (EN)? The valve-grade equivalent, its properties, and certified supply of the matching ASTM grade.

What is the ASTM equivalent of 1.4308?

1.4308 is a EN designation corresponding to ASTM A351 CF8 (Cast 304 Stainless Steel (CF8)) for industrial valve service. The full grade data is below - equivalence is by nominal chemistry and mechanical class, so confirm composition and heat-treat condition against the governing standard before substituting in critical service.
