Sanitalk 


There are various types of stainless steel alloys used in the pharmaceutical industry, each with unique properties and applications. Here are some commonly used types, along with their identification tests, differences, applications, uses, costs, and handling considerations:


1.Type 304 Stainless Steel:

Identification Test: Magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant inspection

Difference: Corrosion resistance, higher carbon content

Applications: Equipment, piping, storage tanks, etc.

Uses: Mixing, blending, sterilization, storage of drug products

Cost: Moderately priced

Handling: Easy to clean, resistant to most chemicals


2.Type 316 Stainless Steel:

Identification Test: Magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant inspection

Difference: Higher nickel content, molybdenum for increased corrosion resistance

Applications: Equipment, piping, storage tanks, etc.

Uses: Mixing, blending, sterilization, storage of drug products, high-purity applications

Cost: Higher than Type 304

Handling: Easy to clean, resistant to most chemicals, better corrosion resistance in acidic environments

3.Type 316L Stainless Steel:

Identification Test: Magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant inspection

Difference: Low carbon content for better corrosion resistance

Applications: Equipment, piping, storage tanks, etc.

Uses: Mixing, blending, sterilization, storage of drug products, high-purity applications

Cost: Higher than Type 316

Handling: Easy to clean, resistant to most chemicals, better corrosion resistance in acidic environments


4.Type 317L Stainless Steel:

Identification Test: Magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant inspection

Difference: Higher molybdenum content for increased corrosion resistance

Applications: Equipment, piping, storage tanks, etc.

Uses: Mixing, blending, sterilization, storage of drug products, high-purity applications

Cost: Higher than Type 316L

Handling: Easy to clean, resistant to most chemicals, better corrosion resistance in acidic environments


5.Type 904L Stainless Steel:

Identification Test: Magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant inspection

Difference: High alloy content for superior corrosion resistance

Applications: Equipment, piping, storage tanks, etc.

Uses: Mixing, blending, sterilization, storage of drug products, high-purity applications

Cost: Highest among all types

Handling: Easy to clean, resistant to most chemicals, excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments

In general, stainless steel is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and durability. The type of stainless steel chosen will depend on the specific application and the required level of corrosion resistance. It is important to handle stainless steel equipment carefully to avoid damage and contamination. Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for ensuring long-term performance and preventing product contamination.
