QUESTION: Bob, maybe you can tell me what the differences are between SS 304 and SS 316L?
Our local price of SS 316L is 2 times that of SS 304. If the SS 304 plates are used in the cell, what will the results be? Thanks!
ANSWER: You can calculate it yourself if you really wanted to, just by using figures I had already provided.
304SS = best production of 198% as compared to 100% Faraday at DC.
or
316LSS = best production of 238% as compared to 100% Faraday at DC.
Either, when properly resonated with a toroidal power system = 400% to 500% of DC production. So....
304SS = 792% to 990% during resonance as compared to 100% Faraday at DC.
or
316LSS = 952% to 1190% during resonance as compared to 100% Faraday at DC.
Now these figures are for optimal production, with everything done right when it comes to manufacture accuracy, preparation, conditioning, and operation of the unit. Math does come in handy sometimes
Bob
Hope this Helps.

You are right that the carbon content is about the same for 304 & 316. And the addition of molybdenum prevents specific forms of corrosion.
And yes, 304 is the most widely used. What I said was: 316L was the best AND is lower in Carbon. The "L" means "Low Carbon". The BEST - in order would be: 316L - 316 - 304L - 304. Everyone has to justify the cost for themselves.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel
Quote: Type 316—the second most common grade (after 304); for food and surgical stainless steel uses; Alloy addition of molybdenum prevents specific forms of corrosion. 316 steel is used in the manufacture and handling of food and pharmaceutical products where it is often required in order to minimize metallic contamination. It is also known as "marine grade" stainless steel due to its increased resistance to chloride corrosion compared to type 304. SS316 is often used for building nuclear reprocessing plants. Most watches that are made of stainless steel are made of Type 316L. End of Quote
FarrahDay: Just because your tubes are smooth on the inside, doesn't mean ALL tubes are smooth. There are several ways to manufacture the Welded joint. Some are smooth inside and some are not. So unless you KNOW without a doubt that it is smooth, you better order Seamless. Maybe you can call the supplier to make sure first. If you can VERIFY that the welded tube is smooth inside, go for it. If you CAN'T verify, order Seamless.
Hope this helps,
