Coxreels provides its clients with a range of stainless steel grade options, ideally meeting their particular specification requirements. Complete stainless steel reels and powder-coated steel reels with stainless steel fluid pathways are available from Coxreels. Customers can now select between 316 and 304 grade stainless steels for their fluid routes on a variety of reel types to best meet the required corrosion resistance of their reel based on the application. Coxreels stainless steel reel frames and spools will continue to be 302/304 grade stainless, and an electro-polished finish is an option for added corrosion protection.

The two main varieties of stainless steel utilized in the reel industry are 302/304 and 316. Each category offers varying degrees of corrosion protection and cost due to intrinsic metallurgical variances. The most widely used stainless steels, 302 and 304, are employed in the majority of applications where corrosion-resistant steel is needed, including food and beverage, sanitation, dairy, pharmaceutical, appliances and sinks. The most corrosion-resistant grade of stainless steel is 316, which can be up to four times more corrosion-resistant than 302/304.

In order to balance cost and required corrosion resistance, it's critical to choose the right stainless grade for the application. 316 is frequently specified when long-lasting look is needed and is typically advised for marine applications, certain acidic fluids, and compounds ending in "ine," such as chlorine and bromine, Coxreels provides the stainless material you need, regardless of your particular application.
