Stainless steel is not a complete specification
A stainless-steel cabinet can support corrosion-resistant applications, but grade, finish, fasteners, gaskets, cable entries, welds, cleaning, heat, and the surrounding chemical exposure still matter. The environment should drive the specification.
Inputs to compare
| Input | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Chemical, salt, and washdown exposure | Determines grade, finish, hardware, and maintenance |
| Temperature and internal heat | Sets cooling and component limits |
| Gaskets, doors, and cable entries | Preserves sealing and service access |
| Grounding and EMC | Coordinates bonding and cable shields |
| Cleaning and lifecycle | Defines inspection, replacement, and finish requirements |
Scope boundary
Do not infer corrosion life or rating from “stainless steel” alone. Confirm the grade, finish, configuration, and site evidence with the supplier and responsible engineer.
