Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Superb resistance to corrosion and heat that allows use in almost everywhere
You’ll find two forms of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS kind has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. On the other hand, it can be created fully of austenite stainless steel and so its tensile strength is somewhat reduced than 70% of the standard roller chain, and greatest allowable load drops to somewhat in excess of 10%.
By using precipitation hardened stainless steel to the pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK style has one.five times greater optimum allowable load compared for the SS kind. Select SSK whenever you will need more strength than SS, or want longer solution lifestyle.
Both forms have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Recommended employs
?Problems exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Numerous chemical plats and water therapy plants.
?Ailments of higher temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Choice of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has reduced normal tensile strength and highest allowable load compared to the common roller chain.
Connecting back links and offset back links
R connecting hyperlinks are used for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting links for #80 or bigger. 2POJ offset back links are utilized for sizes #25, and OJ hyperlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Normal sprockets for Stainless Steel chains is often utilised since the dimensions would be the similar as conventional roller chains.
Caution
Being a standard home of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion can be induced by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on ideal exhibits the data of exams over the degree of corrosion resistance for every medium and does not guarantee the effectiveness on the chains. Please think about the ailments, temperature, degree and various general circumstance when employing.
