About the Product

This steel grade tester utilizes a chemical reaction to determine the presence of molybdenum, nickel, and manganese, which varies between Grade 202 and Grade 304. By applying a single drop to the metal surface, the liquid changes color, providing a visual confirmation of the steel grade within seconds. It is a portable, cost-effective, and reliable method for verification.

Why Choose Impex Tube Industries

Impex Tube Industries is committed to providing tools that ensure material integrity. Our steel grade testers are manufactured under strict quality controls to guarantee reliability. We understand the financial risks of using Grade 202 instead of 304 in corrosive environments, which is why we offer testers that give you confidence in your material selection. We support our customers with clear usage guides and prompt delivery.

How to Use

Clean the surface of the steel to remove any coating or dirt. Apply one drop of the tester liquid to the clean area. Wait for the recommended time (usually a few seconds to a minute). Compare the resulting color of the liquid drop with the color chart provided on the bottle or instruction manual. A specific color typically indicates Grade 202, while another indicates Grade 304.

FAQs

1. Can this tester distinguish between 202 and 304 reliably?

Yes, the chemical formulation reacts differently to the composition of these two grades, producing distinct color results for clear identification.

2. Will the chemical damage the steel surface?

The test leaves a small mark or stain where the drop was applied. It is best to test on a hidden area or scrap piece if finish preservation is critical.

3. How many tests can I perform with one bottle?

The number of tests depends on the bottle size, but a standard bottle typically allows for hundreds of individual drop tests.

4. Do I need electricity or batteries?

No, this is a chemical spot test that requires no power source, making it perfect for field use.
