- Most widely used grade
- Applications such as water treatment, food and beverage, etc.
Stainless Steel Grade 316L
- Composition and addition of molybdenum
- Better corrosion resistance than 304
- Used in applications with chlorides and salts
- Pharmaceutical, chemical and process industry applications
Stainless Steel Grade 316Ti
- Addition of titanium for strength and heat resistance
- Highest corrosion resistance
- Ideal for highly acidic and caustic environments
- Used in mining, chemical processing, pollution control
Choosing the Right Stainless Housing
- Consider fluid properties and environment
- Determine required pressure ratings and design standards
- Understand temperature resistance needs
- Consider weld-ability and machining needs
