Koslow Scientific Company understands the importance of sorting 316 from other stainless steel. Supplier certifications and importer's promises are not always enough. Testing alloy content with undeniable clear reactions from Koslow Scientific provides peace of mind. Order The Spotter 316 (1544) Stainless Steel Verification Kit and test it yourself! For over 50 years, companies from pharmaceutical to aerospace have relied on Koslow kits. No need for expensive XRF equipment. No need to file off samples to mail to metallurgical testing labs. A chemical spot test is a diagnostic test performed by the electro-spot method. Verify your stainless steel 316 incoming and outgoing stock. Use the quality testing solutions ordered by engineers, fabricators, welders, and scrap metal dealers. 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. This is usually sufficient for alloy identification, differentiation, and verification. 1544 includes a metal sample to be used as a testing reference. 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.
