Usage of SS316 material in purified water distribution loop

March 9, 2008

Is it compulsory to use SS316L in Purified water distribution loop.
Does it impact the quality of water by using SS316 material piping.

First of two simultaneous responses --

The L is for low-carbon, which improves welding properties. Water quality will not be affected.
