SS 904L Machine Screw: Why 904L for machine screws
Machine screws assemble instruments, panels and equipment. Pan, countersunk and cheese heads. In SS 904L, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Stainless fasteners resist atmospheric and process corrosion. SS 904L is picked for dilute sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and chloride-bearing cooling water. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Sulphuric acid plants — Coolers, piping and tanks for dilute sulphuric acid. |
| Bolting | as the project specifies |
