Choosing between 304 and 316L stainless steel is rarely about “better” and more about the environment your equipment actually sees: chlorides, cleaners, temperature swings, weld density, and how much risk you can tolerate. In sanitary processing, those factors show up... keep reading
Sample Valves
Steel & O’Brien SVN, EVN, and INN type sample valves are specifically designed to be the optimum product sampling solution in the industry. With superior engineering and quality, these sample valves offer exclusive performance benefits not found in other alternatives. SVN, EVN, and INN sample valves were developed with pharmaceutical and sanitary standards in mind, which is reflected in design aspects such as drainability and product contact geometries.
Right-angle concentric (SVN) models are available in ½” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes, right-angle eccentric (EVN) models are available in 1” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes, and Inline (INN) models are available in in ½” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes.

What Is Rouge Near Stainless Steel Welds in Sanitary Systems?
Rouge formation near stainless steel welds shows up as a reddish, orange, or brown discoloration (sometimes with a fine powdery film) concentrated in and around the heat-affected zone and can sometimes be misdiagnosed as rust. In hygienic processing, it is... keep reading
Rouge vs Rust in Sanitary Stainless Steel: What’s the Difference?
“Rouge” and “rust” can look similar at a glance because both can appear red, orange, or brown. In sanitary stainless systems, though, they usually point to different surface chemistry and different corrective actions. A helpful way to think about it... keep reading
