Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Excellent resistance to corrosion and heat that allows use in just about all over the place
There are actually two forms of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS variety has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Having said that, it is created totally of austenite stainless steel and hence its tensile strength is somewhat lower than 70% of a conventional roller chain, and optimum allowable load drops to a little bit more than 10%.
Through the use of precipitation hardened stainless steel for that pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK form has one.five instances increased optimum allowable load in contrast to the SS kind. Select SSK once you will need additional strength than SS, or desire longer solution daily life.
Each types have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Advised employs
?Conditions exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Different chemical plats and water remedy plants.
?Situations of high temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Variety of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has decrease normal tensile strength and highest allowable load in contrast on the regular roller chain.
Connecting back links and offset backlinks
R connecting back links are made use of for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller sized and C connecting back links for #80 or bigger. 2POJ offset back links are employed for sizes #25, and OJ links for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Standard sprockets for Stainless Steel chains is usually utilized since the dimensions will be the same as normal roller chains.
Caution
As a general residence of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion can be triggered by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on suitable demonstrates the information of exams to the amount of corrosion resistance for each medium and does not promise the effectiveness from the chains. Please take into consideration the problems, temperature, level along with other all round predicament when working with.
