Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for tanks?
A: 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, offering superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments, while 304 is more cost-effective for general use.

Q: When is electropolishing recommended for stainless steel tanks?
A: Electropolishing is ideal for pharmaceutical, food-grade, and high-purity applications requiring superior cleanability and contamination prevention.

Q: Can stainless steel tanks be repaired?
A: Yes, using proper stainless steel welding procedures that maintain corrosion resistance.

Q: What surface finishes are available?
A: Options include mill finish, 2B, #4 brushed, #8 mirror, and electropolished finishes depending on application needs.

Q: How do you prevent contamination?
A: We use sanitary design, smooth finishes, CIP systems, and materials that resist bacterial adhesion and are easy to sanitize.
