Here’s what to know before submitting your request—so you get the part you need, built right the first time.
Western Separations™ Resource Series
When your system depends on a metal component that doesn’t exist off the shelf—or needs to be made to exacting specs—you don’t have time to chase vague suppliers, sort through catalogs, or gamble on poor fit. You need a precision part that matches your system, your timeline, and your standards.
Here’s what to know before submitting your request—so you get the part you need, built right the first time.
1. Know the Basics of What You Need
You don’t need a CAD file to start (though it helps). A rough sketch, sample part, or set of dimensions is enough to begin.
At Western Separations™, we work from:
Drawings
Photos
Verbal specs
Physical samples
Whether you're duplicating a worn diffuser or building a new cone from scratch, we’ll translate your input into a production-ready part.
2. Choose the Right Material for the Job
Material choice can make or break your application. We commonly work with:
316L Stainless – for food, medical, and corrosive environments
304 Stainless – for standard industrial needs
Hastelloy & Inconel – for high-temperature or aggressive chemical exposure
Not sure what you need? We’ll recommend the right alloy based on your system.
3. We Handle It All
You don’t need to order 10,000 pieces to work with us. In fact, we often work with:
One-off duplication requests
Low-volume production runs
Prototypes and startup designs
Emergency replacements
We handle it all—whether you need a single custom part, a short run, or a full-scale production order.
4. Clear Info = Fast Quotes
The clearer your request, the faster we can quote it. You don’t need to overthink it—but do include:
Intended use (liquid, air, chemical, etc.)
Dimensions or tolerances
Material (if known)
Quantity
Required delivery window
We'll handle the rest.
5. Ready to Get Started?
Go to our quote form at → Request a Custom Quote
There, you can upload:

We’ll review your request and follow up with a clear quote and lead time—fast.
We Build What Others Won’t
Some suppliers don’t want small runs. Others can’t move fast.
We do both.
At Western Separations™, we specialize in building precision components when others say it’s not worth it.
Let’s get your part built right—the first time.
