There are two main indicators for choosing a stainless steel sink:
A: Stainless steel grades, currently the mainstream ones in the market are SUS201, SUS202, SUS304. Here SUS304 is more expensive and also the best.
B: Looking at the surface treatment, there are two main treatment methods, stainless steel pickling passivation and stainless steel electropolishing.
Now I will introduce you to several soil methods for selecting stainless steel sinks:
1. Thickness:
Good stainless steel sinks use thicker plates. Because the edge of the sink has been processed, it is difficult to see the thickness at once. The simpler method is to press the surface of the sink slightly. If you can press it down, it means that the material is very thin. Of course, if If you can borrow a vernier caliper and a screw micrometer, it won't be a hassle.
2. Weight:
Stainless steel is an iron alloy. The specific gravity of steel is 7.87, and heavy metals such as nickel and chromium are added to it. The specific gravity of these metals is larger than that of steel, so the weight is relatively heavy. If it is counterfeit, inferior stainless steel, such as chrome-plated steel, the weight is light.
3. Look at the molding process:
There are welding method and integral molding method. We have seen some name brand sinks with the same exterior size but with very different prices. There are material factors and process costs. Of course, it can be said with certainty that the stainless steel water tank using the one-piece molding method is definitely better than the welding method. The first-class water tank is generally produced by the one-time stamping method. Of course, there are also low-end products in the famous brand. There are many welding methods. understood. The more common ways to deal with welded stainless steel sinks are stainless steel pickling passivation and stainless steel electropolishing.
