Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Excellent resistance to corrosion and heat that enables use in almost all over the place
You can find two types of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS kind has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Even so, it is produced entirely of austenite stainless steel and hence its tensile power is slightly decrease than 70% of a conventional roller chain, and optimum allowable load drops to a little bit more than 10%.
By using precipitation hardened stainless steel for your pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK sort has 1.five instances higher optimum allowable load compared for the SS style. Decide on SSK once you want more strength than SS, or wish longer product or service existence.
Both types have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Recommended uses
?Conditions exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Many chemical plats and water treatment method plants.
?Conditions of higher temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Variety of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has decrease typical tensile strength and maximum allowable load in contrast for the conventional roller chain.
Connecting backlinks and offset backlinks
R connecting links are made use of for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting links for #80 or larger. 2POJ offset hyperlinks are employed for sizes #25, and OJ links for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Standard sprockets for Stainless Steel chains is usually made use of since the dimensions would be the similar as normal roller chains.
Caution
Like a common residence of stainless steel, stress corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion could be caused by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on right demonstrates the data of tests to the degree of corrosion resistance for every medium and isn’t going to ensure the effectiveness from the chains. Please take into consideration the problems, temperature, degree and various general problem when making use of.
