316SS or 316 SS
316SS or 316 SS
(OP)
Which of these two designations is correct? Right now my coworker and I differ in how we designate these in item descriptions and we need to standardize.
The majority of our descriptions use 316SS as well as most of the product brochures for 3rd party components.
Thanks for you assistance,
Louis

You might try a search on the web

Both designations are not come from Standards and Codes. But 316SS or 316 SS have been used for the simplified designation in the industries and scientific articles during last several decades. 316 SS is more preferable to avoid the confusing from the designation of developed classes (e.g., L, H, N, LM, S, ELC, ULC, Cb, Ti, Mo, Se, LMN, F, etc.)
