Fine Finishes for Stainless Steel Vessels & Components

Our finishes for stainless steel achieve the finest Ra finish.

HOLLOWAY AMERICA’s pressure vessel fabricators approach every detail of a project with perfectionist tendencies. That’s true right down to our finishes for stainless steel. We don’t think it makes much sense to obsess about vessel design and performance and then show less concern for finishing, so we grind all interior welds smooth and flush. If you choose a polished exterior, we grind all exterior welds smooth and flush as well. And we’ll help you select the appropriate finish for your unique vessel or part, from mill finish to a 75 Ra finish to a 5 Ra finish to finer than a 320 grit finish.
