This information should be seen as general guidelines rather than an absolute guarantee. The chemical
compatibility of Stainless Steel 316L will depend on several parameters, such as temperature, concentration,
overall solution composition and other factors concerning the application in which the rotating bed reactor is to
be operated. It is the responsibility of the user to ultimately determine appropriate use.
