Determining whether Galvanized or Stainless Steel
Determining whether Galvanized or Stainless Steel
(OP)
Are there any tests that can be performed to determine if our conduit connections are galvanized or stainless steel?
If so how do I go about testing the material.
Thanks

RE: Determining whether Galvanized or Stainless Steel
If the connections are magnetic, they could be a ferritic stainless steel or galvanized. In this case, remove one and visually look to see if it has a grayish colored surface coating, if so it would be galvanized. If it is polished, it could be a ferritic stainless steel.
