In fact, there are some differences between the different grades, which also have effects on the usage. Through the statistics of customers' purchase records, MAISHI MFG has found the stainless steel materials of 304, 304L, 316, 316L, which will be widely used. We will provide a brief comparison of these material characters.
Material Characteristics |
304 | 304L | 316 | 316L |
Temperature | -196 ° C- 800 ° C |
-196 ° C- 800 ° C |
427 ° C-857 ° C temperature range, can not be used continuously |
427 ° C-857 ° C temperature range, can not be used continuously |
Tensile strength | ≥520MPa | ≥520MPa | ≥520MPa | ≥485MPa |
Acid and alkali resistance | 304 has strong corrosion resistance. Alkaline solution and most organic acids and inorganic acids also have good corrosion resistance. |
304L has better corrosion resistant than 304 material | Contains Mo element, corrosion resistance higher than 304 material | its corrosion resistance is better than 316, the intergranular corrosion tends to less than 316, can be used in sea water and strong acid environment. |
Mesh count | 300 mesh | 300 mesh | 400 mesh | 635 mesh |
In general, if you have certain requirements for filtration accuracy and corrosion resistance, you can confirm your needs based on the above charts.
