#100 Stainless Steel Sprocket | For the 1% of Drives That Demand Everything

ANSI 100 stainless steel sprocket (1-1/4″ pitch) — UT-tested billet, PMI-verified grade, solution-annealed, fully documented. Not for every application. Specified by steel mill engineers, offshore OEMs, and heavy chemical plant buyers who cannot accept an ‘approximately correct’ component in a critical drive.

Description

Hangzhou Ever-Power Sprocket Co., Ltd.

Most industrial buyers do not need a UT-tested, PMI-verified, solution-annealed stainless sprocket. If you do — this is the page you were looking for.

Who Actually Needs an #100 SS Sprocket at This Specification Level

The #100 pitch stainless steel sprocket is not a product for general industrial use. The load this chain size carries — with individual tooth forces that can exceed 20 kN in heavy-duty applications — means that material integrity is a structural question, not just a quality preference. The buyers who contact us for this product are: steel mill engineers specifying scale-breaker conveyor drives in HCl pickling lines; offshore platform OEMs building mooring tensioner chains; continuous casting machine builders who need strand-guide sprockets to operate in steam and scale; and heavy chemical plant engineering teams whose drive runs through a reactor vessel environment where a sprocket failure means an emergency shutdown that costs more in one hour than a year’s supply of sprockets. If you are in one of those groups, the Ever-Power #100 Stainless Steel Sprocket is specified exactly for your requirement. If you are not — consider our #60 or #80 range, which meets the needs of the majority of heavy industrial applications at a lower price point.

The Specification That Sets This Apart

Standard stainless sprockets are produced from certified bar stock and inspected after machining. Our #100 SS sprocket production goes further at every step, because at this scale, “standard” is not sufficient for the environments these parts operate in:

🔬 Ultrasonic Testing (ASTM A388)

Every billet over 120 mm diameter is UT-scanned before the first cut. Internal voids, laminations, and pipe defects that would never show on surface examination are caught and rejected at the material stage.

⚗️ Per-Item PMI (XRF)

Each billet is XRF-scanned individually — not sampled by lot — to confirm grade composition. Grade substitution (304 passed off as 316) is a real-world risk that per-item PMI eliminates absolutely.

🌡️ Solution Annealing

Post-machining solution anneal at 1,050–1,100 °C + water quench dissolves chromium carbides and restores maximum corrosion resistance through the full cross-section.

📋 Full Traceability Package

UT clearance report, PMI record, MTR (EN 10204 3.1), CMM dimensional report, and production traveller — all cross-referenced by heat number and order serial number.

Technical Specifications

Parameter Value
Chain No. ANSI 100
Pitch 31.75 mm (1-1/4″)
Material 304 SS / 316 SS (PMI-verified per item)
Billet QC UT per ASTM A388 + PMI per item
Tooth Range 8T – 48T (larger on request)
Compliance ANSI B29.1 Class A, ASTM A388, ISO 9001:2015

The Environments Where This Sprocket Is Specified

Buyer Type Why #100 SS with Full Spec
Steel Mill Engineer HCl pickling line: high load + aggressive acid. A void in the tooth root means unannounced fracture in an acid mist environment.
Offshore Platform OEM Seawater + shock load + safety-critical overhead lifting. Material integrity is a safety requirement, not a preference.
Continuous Casting OEM Thermal cycling, scale, steam. Sensitized stainless fails in this environment — solution annealing is not optional.
Heavy Chemical Plant Reactor charging conveyor: acid/alkali, high load, inspection interval 12+ months. Zero-defect material is the only acceptable specification.

What Engineers Say After Their First Order

★★★★★

“Our TÜV auditor reviewed the UT clearance, PMI record, and MTR together. He said it was the most complete material documentation package he had seen from an Asian sprocket supplier. That made the procurement approval straightforward.”

— Chief Engineer, Steel Mill, South Korea

★★★★★

“Offshore platform mooring tensioner — 18 months of direct seawater spray on 316 SS #100 sprockets. They look brand new. We had budgeted for a replacement at 12 months. We did not need it.”

— Marine Engineer, Offshore Services, Norway

★★★★☆

“Complex step-hub drawing — reviewed twice before machining, which is the correct approach. Delivered on time. The documentation set satisfied our engineering director without further queries.”

— Project Manager, Heavy Machinery OEM, Germany

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is UT testing standard on all #100 SS orders or only on request? +
Standard on all #100 SS orders for billet over 120 mm diameter — you do not need to request it. The UT clearance report is part of the standard documentation package. For smaller billet diameters (very low tooth count sprockets), UT is available on request.
2. How long does the full documentation package take to produce? +
Documentation is produced in parallel with manufacturing and is ready when the sprocket is ready — it does not add to lead time. The UT report (from billet stage) and PMI record are completed before machining begins; the MTR and CMM report are completed during finishing and inspection.
3. Can you supply complete drive kits at this specification level? +
Yes. Complete kits — matched sprocket pair, 316 SS #100 chain cut to length, connecting links, and taper-lock bushings — are available with consolidated documentation covering all components. Specify drive ratio, shaft diameters, and centre distance for a complete kit quote.
4. What is the typical lead time for a custom #100 SS sprocket? +
15–22 working days from drawing approval for standard custom configurations. Complex profiles (step-hub, lightening holes, multi-strand) add 5–8 days. Contact us with your timeline requirements as early as possible — we can often schedule priority production for critical-path projects.
5. Can the solution annealing be verified? +
Yes. The heat treatment record (temperature log, quench record, furnace ID) is retained as part of the production traveller. Corrosion resistance after annealing can be verified by oxalic acid etch test per ASTM A262 Practice A — available on request for customers with this requirement in their specification.
