Test equipment – Moly testing unit (To identify 304 or 316 materials)

Procedure :

Put a drop of Molybdenum solution on the material to be tested.

Take battery & keep anode at one end of the material and cathode at Moly drop.

If the solution turns pink and stays for around one minute, then it is SS316 & if the solution turns pink and

immediately vanishes, then it is SS304.

Acceptance Criteria

All material of construction for the Name of Equipment, shall meet the MOC provided in Design
Qualification.

Material other than SS316 and SS304 are verified based on their material testing certificates provided by
the Manufacturer.
