stainless steel sink question

[goofy gorilla]

hi guys

i need a kitchen sink, preferably with a large bowl and single drainer, ive seen many the size is 1000mm x 500mm....which is fine, but all of them state that they are made from 18/10 stainless steel, yet the differ in price, considerably...what does this mean?.....cheers

18/10 is the amount of Chromium and nickel in the metal.

18% cromium, 10% nickel.
A top quality stainless.

The cheaper ones will be 18/8 stainless.
An inferior quality, although perfectly adequate for the average sink.

A sink that size is likely designed for industry, where they should be using 18/10 or 316 grade stainless steel all the time.
