SO2 effect on 304 and 316
SO2 effect on 304 and 316
(OP)
I am looking at the possibility of replacing 316 stainless with 304 on a machine processing food which has been treated with SO2 as a preservative. Can anyone advise me on whether this is suitable given that the machine will operate in the temperature range -18 to +45 degrees Celcius in all humidity conditions and whether I have to worry about Sulphuric Acid formation and consequent attack of the 304 in these conditions? Will 304 do the job?

In general, stay with 316 if you can, tho.
