Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Great resistance to corrosion and heat that allows use in practically all over the place
You’ll find two forms of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS variety has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Nonetheless, it is made entirely of austenite stainless steel and therefore its tensile strength is somewhat decrease than 70% of the common roller chain, and greatest allowable load drops to slightly over 10%.
By using precipitation hardened stainless steel for the pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK type has one.five instances greater maximum allowable load compared for the SS type. Select SSK once you need to have more strength than SS, or desire longer product or service lifestyle.
The two forms have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Suggested employs
?Circumstances exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Many chemical plats and water treatment plants.
?Problems of high temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Selection of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has lower common tensile strength and greatest allowable load compared on the common roller chain.
Connecting backlinks and offset backlinks
R connecting links are employed for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller sized and C connecting backlinks for #80 or greater. 2POJ offset links are used for sizes #25, and OJ backlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Common sprockets for Stainless Steel chains may be applied because the dimensions will be the very same as normal roller chains.
Caution
Like a basic home of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion can be caused by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on correct demonstrates the data of tests within the degree of corrosion resistance for every medium and doesn’t promise the performance of the chains. Please think about the situations, temperature, level together with other general circumstance when working with.
