Crucial Clarifications on Product Specifications

The product page contains several generic or conflicting data points. The following clarifications provide a precise and accurate understanding of this specific product:

• Material (Stainless Steel Grades): The “Material” field correctly identifies the product as “Stainless Steel”. The “introduction to products” section further specifies common grades like 304 (A2) and 316 (A4).
  • A2 (304) Stainless Steel: Offers excellent corrosion resistance for general atmospheric and freshwater environments.
  • A4 (316) Stainless Steel: Contains molybdenum, providing superior corrosion resistance, especially in marine, coastal, and chemical environments (e.g., exposure to chlorides).
• Grade Inconsistency: The “Grade” field lists both carbon steel classes (4.8, 8.8, etc.) and stainless steel grades (A2-70, A4-70, A4-80). This is a common website data entry error. For this specific stainless steel product, only the stainless steel grades are relevant:
  • A2-70 / A4-70: Standard tensile strength (700 N/mm²).
  • A4-80: High tensile strength (800 N/mm²).
• Finish (Plain/Polished): The “Surface treatment: Plain” and “Finish: Polished” are correct for stainless steel. It does not require a protective plating like carbon steel. Polishing enhances its appearance and can slightly improve its resistance to surface contaminants.
• Lifting Safety Warning: The title mentions “Tailored to Lifting Needs.” However, it is critical to understand that DIN 444 is a dimensional standard, not a dedicated lifting standard (like DIN 580, which specifies collared eye bolts for lifting). DIN 444 eye bolts do not have a shoulder/collar, making them suitable only for straight, in-line (axial) loads. They are not safe for angular lifts, as side loading can bend or break the bolt. The Working Load Limit (WLL) must be verified with the manufacturer for any lifting application.

Product Parameters (Corrected and Clarified)

Key Features

• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Inherently resistant to rust and corrosion, with A4/316 grade offering superior protection in saltwater and chemical environments.
• High Strength and Durability: Stainless steel provides robust performance and a long service life, with high-tensile options (A4-80) available for more demanding loads.
• Customization: The manufacturer offers custom sizing to meet unique project specifications for length, thread, or eye dimensions.
• Hygienic and Aesthetic: The polished, non-coated surface is easy to clean, making it suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and architectural applications.
• Versatile Connection Point: The eye allows for easy attachment of ropes, cables, shackles, and hooks for rigging, anchoring, and securing tasks.

Typical Applications

• Marine & Coastal: Anchoring, rigging, and securing components on boats, docks, and coastal structures due to its resistance to saltwater.
• Food & Pharmaceutical: Used in processing equipment where hygiene and resistance to cleaning agents are essential.
• Chemical Plants: Ideal for environments with exposure to corrosive substances.
• Architectural Rigging: Used for tensioning cables in balustrades, canopies, and structural art.
• Lifting & Securing: Creating secure tie-down points or for straight-line hoisting of loads in industrial settings (subject to WLL verification).
