Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Excellent resistance to corrosion and heat that permits use in just about everywhere
You'll find two forms of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS style has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. On the other hand, it really is produced completely of austenite stainless steel and therefore its tensile strength is slightly lower than 70% of a common roller chain, and maximum allowable load drops to a little more than 10%.
By using precipitation hardened stainless steel for your pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK type has one.5 instances larger optimum allowable load compared for the SS sort. Select SSK once you will need a lot more strength than SS, or desire longer product existence.
The two types have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Advisable employs
?Problems exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Various chemical plats and water therapy plants.
?Problems of higher temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Choice of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has lower common tensile strength and greatest allowable load in contrast to your conventional roller chain.
Connecting back links and offset links
R connecting hyperlinks are employed for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller sized and C connecting back links for #80 or larger. 2POJ offset hyperlinks are used for sizes #25, and OJ backlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Conventional sprockets for Stainless Steel chains might be applied since the dimensions are the same as typical roller chains.
Caution
Like a basic house of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion could be brought on by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on proper demonstrates the data of tests about the degree of corrosion resistance for every medium and will not promise the efficiency of the chains. Please think about the ailments, temperature, level and various all round predicament when working with.
