When many customers are purchasing commercial kitchen equipment, they will encounter the same large frying stove. Why are some brands very cheap and some brands very expensive? In fact, we all know that you get what you pay for, but why is the price difference so big? In fact, this involves the quality of raw materials, so let SHINELONG editor popularize science, what is the difference between the industry standard and the national standard for the thickness of stainless steel plates that are often encountered when purchasing commercial kitchen equipment. The difference between the industry standard and the national standard for the thickness tolerance of stainless steel plates We all know that stainless steel plates have certain thickness standards when they leave the factory, and this thickness standard is generally within a range and there is almost no situation where users want to customize it at will. The thickness standards currently commonly found in the market are divided into national standards and industry standards, and this is also where many cheap commercial kitchen equipment secretly make a fuss. The general thickness of stainless steel plates for commercial kitchen equipment. The stainless steel plates used in commercial kitchen equipment are generally food-grade stainless steel, with thicknesses of 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, and 1.5mm. Among them, the stainless steel plates used by commercial kitchen equipment brands that pay attention to materials are standardly equipped with 1.0mm and 1.2mm, with 1.0mm on the side and 1.2mm on the front. The use of 1.5mm stainless steel plates is relatively small, and the cost is very high. It is not common in the market, but it is the hardest hit area for many false marketing. There are many cheap commercial kitchen equipment brands that claim to use 1.0mm, 1.2mm, or even 1.5mm, but actually use 0.8mm or even less inferior stainless steel plates. Most users cannot perceive it, and durability problems will only occur after long-term use. Then the simplest way to face this situation is to use a vernier caliper to conduct multi-angle tests to determine that the overall average value is close to the standard, and then it meets the standard. Take SHINELONG's kitchen equipment as an example. SHINELONG equipment is standardly equipped with 1.0mm and 1.2mm national standard food-grade stainless steel panels, which allow customers to measure thickness and even institutional testing. Stainless steel thickness tolerance standard Stainless steel plates will have a certain thickness tolerance after they are produced, which is currently unsolvable at the physical level. In order to ensure that there will be no problems when the equipment is made due to too large a tolerance, a stainless steel thickness tolerance standard has been introduced. At present, the common standards on the market are divided into: national standards and industry standards. National standard stainless steel plate tolerance national standard refers to the allowable standard (national standard) for the thickness tolerance of stainless steel plates formulated by the state, which will vary in different industries. In the commercial kitchen equipment industry, the national standard tolerance range used by compliant manufacturers is ±0.1mm, that is, the thickness error of the entire stainless steel plate is within ±0.1mm. At present, SHINELONG equipment is mainly based on this. Industry standard stainless steel plate tolerance industry standard refers to the allowable standard (industry standard) for the thickness tolerance of stainless steel plates formulated by different industries, which will vary in different industries, different regions, different stainless steel plate factories and other factors. Taking the commercial kitchen equipment industry as an example, the industry standard tolerance range of commercial kitchen equipment on the market is currently ±0.4mm, and the poorer is ±0.5mm. Most cheap commercial kitchen brands use the industry standard as the standard. Lower thickness can greatly reduce the cost of raw materials and manufacturing process of the equipment, and naturally reduce the reliability and durability of the equipment. In addition to the national standard and the industry standard, sometimes we will hear the term "full standard". Full standard refers to the tolerance thickness of stainless steel plates that fully meet the national standard or industry standard. When stainless steel plates are made, there will be tolerances in the process, and some of the plates will have large differences in thickness, which cannot meet some standards but do not deviate too much. At this time, these stainless steel plates that do not deviate too much can also be regarded as meeting the national standard or industry standard. Then full standard means that after further testing, the stainless steel plate fully meets the national standard or industry standard and becomes a full national standard or a full industry standard. Generally, the full standard stainless steel plate will have a smaller tolerance within the corresponding national standard or industry standard. If some users have higher requirements for equipment quality, they can choose full national standard stainless steel plates, but the general equipment cost will be higher. Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone has understood the difference between the industry standard and the national standard for the thickness tolerance of stainless steel plates for commercial kitchen equipment. The editor recommends that you choose a well-known and experienced commercial kitchen manufacturer when purchasing commercial kitchen equipment or kitchen engineering companies. This can ensure the quality of the equipment. After all, commercial kitchen equipment, as a commercial tool, has high requirements for durability and stability. No one likes equipment that is often damaged. If you have a demand for commercial kitchen equipment and commercial kitchen engineering, you may wish to contact SHINELONG Commercial Kitchen Engineering Company. We will wholeheartedly provide you with high-quality commercial kitchen services.
