Design and fabrication of
304 stainless tanks economical and to standard!
Grade 304 stainless steel tanks
304 stainless steel (European equivalent 1.4301) is the most common stainless grade, with roughly 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This composition gives good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and most foods, making it an economical choice for most general industrial and food applications.
Key features
Technical details
Tanks made of 304 are suitable for weak acids and short contact, but in long contact with chlorides or strong acids their resistance is lower than grade 316. The grade welds and forms well and is available in many thicknesses.
Behineh Ab designs and builds 304 stainless tanks in vertical, horizontal, agitated and double-wall versions to suit each project.
Technical specifications
When is 304 stainless the right choice?
304 stainless is the economical, standard option for drinking water, neutral to slightly acidic food fluids and many general industrial uses without high chlorides or strong acids. If the fluid contains high chlorides, or the site is coastal, or the process is a sensitive pharmaceutical or chemical one, grade 316 is usually the safer choice.
Welding and surface finishing of 304 stainless tanks
This grade is usually welded by TIG so the weld root is clean and controlled. After welding, polishing or passivating the surface is recommended to restore the protective chromium-oxide layer and keep corrosion resistance — especially in the food industry, where surface hygiene matters.
