Both brass cable glands and stainless steel cable glandsare widely used in industrial environments. However, selecting the wrong material can lead to corrosion issues or unnecessary costs.
Let’s compare them.
Corrosion Resistance
Brass (Nickel-Plated)
Strong corrosion resistance
Suitable for most industrial applications
Stainless Steel (SS304 / SS316)
Superior resistance to chemicals
Ideal for marine and coastal areas
👉 For harsh chemical or marine environments, stainless steel is recommended.
Mechanical Strength
Both offer high strength, but stainless steel performs better in:
Extreme temperatures
Chemical exposure
Hygienic environments (food & pharma)
Cost and Application
Brass cable glands are more cost-efficient for general industrial use.
Stainless steel cable glands are used when durability and compliance are critical.
