Bromine water corrosion of stainless steel [Minnesota] 

May 7, 2007

I am designing a grating system to line a fountain that contains about 5ppm bromine in the water, and I'm wondering if 316L will be sufficient enough to withstand corrosion. If not, I have heard that fluoropolymer coatings can help. would a fluoropolymer-based powder coating do the trick?
