What Grade Stainless Steel is best for Water Tank?
Choosing the best grade of stainless steel for a water tank depends on specific requirements. Here’s a summary based on provided information:
304 Grade Stainless Steel Tanks: Commonly used for water tanks, grade 304 offers good corrosion resistance with high nickel (8-10.5%) and chromium (18-20%) content. Easy to clean and maintain, it suits most freshwater storage needs.
316 Grade Stainless Steel Tanks: Featuring chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and other elements, grade 316 provides enhanced corrosion resistance. Ideal for seaside locations due to its rust resistance against various chemicals, it’s suitable for coastal or marine areas.
Inland regions typically opt for 304-grade tanks, while coastal areas favour 316-grade for added corrosion resistance. Regular rainwater rinsing helps maintain the passive film on 316 stainless steel. Consider water conditions, location, budget, and desired corrosion resistance level to determine the best grade. Consulting with experts can aid in selecting the ideal grade for your water tank needs.

Does Stainless Steel Cost More?
On average, round stainless steel tanks made from Premium grade 304 stainless steel are approximately $500 to $1000 more than the equivalent tanks made from Aquaplate/Colorbond.
For example, a 10,000-litre round tank made from stainless steel is approximately $3295, whereas a similar one made from Aquaplate/Colorbond is approximately $2685.
The price differential is slightly more for slimline tanks because of the inclusion of internal stainless-steel rods to strengthen the slimline shape of the tanks.
The price differential is also greater if Marine grade 316 stainless steel is used to construct the tanks.
