Sort stainless steel 316 from ordinary 304. Prove that tanks, pipes, welds, wire, castings, and more are made of SS 316. The Spotter is a rapid color spot test kit to sort by the composition of the alloy. How? It's easy: Stainless steel 316 contains the element molybdenum, while 304 doesn't. No need for expensive XRF equipment. No need to file off samples to mail to metallurgical testing labs.

TESTING PROCEDURE:

  1. Place the special Moly Paper on any stainless steel surface.
  2. Touch the tip of the probe cartridge to the paper for one second
  3. A brilliant color spot results on the paper in less than a minute. That's easy!

HOW IT WORKS:

A chemical spot test is a diagnostic test performed by the electro-spot method.  Sensitive and interference-free chemical color tests detect the alloying components. A color develops due to a chemical reaction, and the intensity of the color can be used to estimate the amount of alloying component present. Spot tests are more accessible, faster, and cheaper than chemical analysis. When working with the Spotter 316, the qualification standard will vividly demonstrate a positive result and can be used as a reference. Moly Test Papers have a shelf life of at least six months from purchase.
