The molybdenum in 316 is what makes it survive brine, acid and hard washdown — and what makes it even less visible to a metal detector than 304. On lines built in 316, this is the sphere that gives a truthful answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContaminant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel 316 (molybdenum-alloyed austenitic, very low detectability).

Seafood, dairy, brine and marinade producers therefore specify 316 test pieces, and several retailer standards now ask for it by name. As a bare ball the sphere can be released into the falling product on a gravity detector or sealed inside a representative pack, so the check covers detection and reject timing together under the least favourable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ferrous-test-ball\"\u003eFerrous\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/non-ferrous-test-ball\"\u003eNon-Ferrous\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ss304-test-ball\"\u003eSS304\u003c\/a\u003e as test balls, or as a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ss316-test-wand\"\u003eSS316 test wand\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ss316-flexible-test-wand\"\u003eSS316 flexible test wand\u003c\/a\u003e.
