Is 316 type the only stainless steel that is classed as the 'food' grade
The '316' grades (1.4401 / 1.4404) are often referred to as the 'food' grades. There is no known official classification for this and so, depending on the application, the equally common 1.4301 and 1.4016 grades may be suitable for food processing and handling, bearing in mind that in general terms the corrosion resistance ranking of grades can be taken as: 1.4401/1.4404 (316 types) > 1.4301 (304 types) > 1.4016 (430 types)
