304 vs 316 Stainless Steel
Understanding the difference between stainless steel grades helps you choose the right tank for your application:
- 304 Stainless Steel - The most common grade. Excellent corrosion resistance for general applications including food, beverage, and dairy. Cost-effective and widely available.
- 316 Stainless Steel - Contains molybdenum for superior corrosion resistance against chlorides and acids. Required for pharmaceutical, chemical processing, and marine environments.
- 316L Stainless Steel - Low-carbon version of 316 for improved weldability. Preferred for pharmaceutical and high-purity applications where intergranular corrosion is a concern.
