Verification Procedure Of Testing Of Stainless Steel Grade Material Use In Pharma Industry By Molybdenum Test:-
Equipment used in the pharmaceutical industry is mainly crafted from special types of Stainless Steel grades AISI 304 and AISI 316 grades are widely use. Molybdenum test to check MOC of different SS grade (SS 304, SS 316 and SS 302).
Medicine are directly use for patients for cure of diseases, health and seafty. In pharmaceutical industry Medicine must contain only the components specified in approved formula. Equipment contact components or contact parts, inprocess material or drug product shall not be reactive or absorptive so as to alter the seafty, identity, strength, purity or quality (SISPQ) of product beyond the standard requirements or established standard.
Testing Procedure for Checking MOC of SS Material (Molybdenum Test):
- Ensure that clean the surface of material which has to be verify of tested and it free from contaminants.
- Put one drop of electrolyte solution from Molybdenum test kit for detection of molybdenum on to the clean metal surface.
- Turn on the detector that will be used for testing.
- Pass the current from 9 volt battery on the electrolyte solution. Do not apply the current for more than 3 to 4 seconds.
- Check the colour of electrolyte solution;
- 1. "If the colour of electrolyte changes to red and persists for few seconds that means the MOC of material is of grade SS 316".
- 2. "If the colour of electrolyte turns red and disappears immediately or if a green colour appeares that means the MOC of material is of grade SS 304".
- 3. "If the colour of electrolyte turns black that means the MOC of material is of grade SS 302".
