Stainless steel resistance table

The corrosion resistance information contained within this table is indicative only.

All data is based on reactions noted at an ambient temperature of 20°C. Higher temperatures will generally reduce the corrosion resistance of the materials.

Typical factors that affect material selection:

• type(s) of chemical(s) and % composition in the liquid
• concentration percentages
• contact time with trough system
• temperatures of liquid flowing into the trough
• flushing system employed o clear liquids from the system
• type of cleaning agent (see Care & Maintenance)
• grate, locking mechnism and trash basket materials
• sealant for compatibility, if applicable

Test samples should be used for final determination of chemical resistance, contact ACO.
