Stainless Steel(SS) Jacketing Sheet is manufactured from SS304 and SS316 prime grade Stainless Steels coil. These alloys comply with ASTM A-240 and are supplied with a regular dull finish for reduced glare. The yield strength is 30,000-45,000 PSI and the tensile strength is 75,000-110,000 PSI.

These alloys are of a special soft-annealed temper, for ease in fabrication. SS304 cladding is normally used in all except the most corrosive areas, where SS316 cladding is recommended.

Stainless Steel is available in smooth, stucco embossed, or 3/16" corrugated roll jacketing, and deep corrugated sheets. Jacketing is recommended for insulated piping, tanks, and vessels less than 8 feet in diameter. Deep corrugated sheets are recommended for diameters greater than 8 feet. It is recommended that the roll jacketing be 3/16" corrugated for the following reasons: it is stronger than smooth, it reduces glare from external light sources, it eliminates "coil break" when applied over small size piping and does not show dents readily. In extremely corrosive environments, smooth jacketing is recommended to facilitate run-off.
