Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Outstanding resistance to corrosion and heat that permits use in practically everywhere
There are two kinds of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS form has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Nevertheless, it is produced completely of austenite stainless steel and hence its tensile strength is somewhat reduce than 70% of the common roller chain, and highest allowable load drops to just a little above 10%.
By utilizing precipitation hardened stainless steel for your pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK variety has one.five occasions greater greatest allowable load in contrast to your SS kind. Choose SSK when you want much more strength than SS, or need longer merchandise lifestyle.
Each forms have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Advisable uses
?Problems exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Many chemical plats and water treatment plants.
?Conditions of high temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Choice of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has reduced average tensile strength and maximum allowable load compared towards the conventional roller chain.
Connecting links and offset backlinks
R connecting back links are utilized for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting back links for #80 or greater. 2POJ offset back links are applied for sizes #25, and OJ backlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Conventional sprockets for Stainless Steel chains might be employed because the dimensions are the exact same as normal roller chains.
Caution
Like a basic residence of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion can be triggered by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on correct demonstrates the information of exams on the degree of corrosion resistance for every medium and won’t guarantee the efficiency with the chains. Please consider the circumstances, temperature, degree as well as other overall condition when making use of.
