Product Coding and Identification System

The document establishes a comprehensive coding system for stainless steel and metal components, including tubes, rubber parts, and flat plates. Codes define product family, article, tube size (in millimeters with thickness), material type (AISI 304, AISI 316 stainless steel, aluminum, Zamak alloys), and finishing options (satin, polished, mirror). This system supports precise product identification and ordering.

Materials and Finishes

• AISI 304 Stainless Steel: Commonly used with good chemical resistance but vulnerable to atmospheric pollution, chlorinated pools, and saline environments.
• AISI 316 Stainless Steel: Enhanced corrosion resistance due to molybdenum and higher nickel content, ideal for harsh environments such as marine or pool areas.
• Finishes: Satin (S), polished (P), and mirror (M) finishes available; mirror finish on AISI 316 offers superior brightness and protection.
• Color Options: AISI 304 can be customized with a 24-carat gold galvanic treatment; color codes include RS (pink), BR (bronze), GD (gold), RT (ruthenium).
• Zamak Alloy: Zinc-based alloy with aluminum, magnesium, and copper, providing cost-effective, durable, and eco-friendly components.

Icon System for Product Identification

An icon-based system in the EZ Inox catalogue facilitates quick recognition of product types and intended uses, with plans for expansion as new products are introduced.

Product Types and Assembly Methods

• Products categorized by assembly: glued, fitted, or self-threading.
• Items sold as solid pieces or disassembled kits.
• Color finishes indicated by specific codes for easy identification.

Product Range and Examples

The "Scala AD Arte" line is fully designed and manufactured in Italy, employing advanced technologies and premium raw materials. The range is continuously expanded to address installation challenges effectively. Examples include posts, uprights, clamps, discs, flanges, and covers with detailed dimensions (tube diameters, thicknesses, heights) specified in millimeters.

Technical Specifications and Components

• Tubes: Diameters such as 33.7x2 mm, 42.4x2.6 mm, 48.3x2 mm with satin finish.
• Posts and Upright Clamps: Heights of 1000 mm and 1200 mm, with floor or wall supports, including glass clip versions.
• Handrail Wall Brackets and Tube Supports: Adjustable supports made from AISI 316 stainless steel.
• Bracket Components: Flat plates and angled parts (90°, 135°) for assembly.
• Lengths: Tubes available in standard 3000 mm and 6000 mm lengths.

Key Recommendations and Limitations

• AISI 304 suitable for general use but not recommended for highly corrosive environments (chlorinated pools, marine atmospheres).
• AISI 316 preferred for aggressive environments due to superior corrosion resistance.
• Finishing choice impacts aesthetics and resistance; mirror finish offers enhanced protection.
• Zamak alloys offer a cost-effective, mechanically sound, and environmentally friendly alternative.
