Product FAQ

Sterilization Equipment · Laboratory Sterilizers and Autoclaves

Sterilization Equipment: Should Sterilization Equipment use 304 or 316 stainless steel?

Do not choose the stainless-steel grade for Sterilization Equipment from the product name alone. Type 304 is commonly evaluated for general indoor service, while 316 or 316L is considered when chloride exposure or more aggressive corrosion conditions are expected. The decision should also cover cleaning chemistry, welds and crevices, surface finish, wetted parts, and the project standard. Require the quotation to state the grade for each relevant component instead of accepting the word stainless as a complete specification.
