Metal  Testing   Kit 

When you specify 316 stainless steel, and you pay for 316 stainless steel; how do you know you really have 316 stainless steel?  Mixing this desirable material with common 304 can result in a variety of nasty problems.  Koslow Scientific Company understands the  importance  to sort 316 from other stainless steels.  Suppliers certifications and importer's promises are not enough.  Testing alloy content with undeniable, foolproof reliable kits from Koslow Scientific provides you with piece of mind.  Order the 316 Stainless Steel ID Kit part number 1542C.  For over 40 years companies from pharmaceutical to aerospace have relied on Koslow kits.  Test it yourself!  No need for an expensive XRF equipment.  No need to file off samples to mail to metallurgical testing labs.  Verify  your stainless steel 316  incoming and outgoing stock.  Use the quality testing solutions that have been ordered by engineers, fabricators, welders and scrap metal dealers.   Sensitive and interference-free chemical color tests detect the alloying components.  A color develops as a result of  a  chemical reaction and, generally, the intensity of the color can be used to estimate the amount of alloying component present.  Spot tests are easier, faster and cheaper than chemical analysis.  The results are not quantitative but estimates of the concentrations can be made.  This is usually sufficient for alloy identification differentiation and verification. The 1542C includes a metal sample to be used as a testing reference.  Working with the 316 stainless steel ID kit calibration standard will vividly demonstrate a positive result.  Testing For Stainless "L" Grades  In addition the 1542C kit also contains a low carbon test which can detect SS316L from SS316 or SS304L from SS304.  This unique chemical spot test requires the steel sample to be briefly heated before applying the typical ElectroSpot Method.   Compare stainless steel 309 or 310 vs. 304.

 " This moly test is faster, easier, cleaner,
 less expensive and more reliable than any
 other method to identify stainless
 steel 316... the world's best. "
