Question 1

What is the difference between SS 304 and SS 316?

Accepted Answer

SS 316 contains molybdenum, which gives it better resistance to chlorides and marine environments. SS 304 is the more economical general-purpose grade.

Question 2

Can I buy stainless steel pipes and fittings together?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

How do I check the exact grade and finish?

Accepted Answer

Each listing shows the grade and dimensions. For finish, tolerance or certificate requirements, message the seller or raise an RFQ before you order.

Stainless steel in the grade, finish and size you specify.
