GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:RF
English translation:SST

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
Swedish term or phrase: RF
This term appears in a spare parts catalogue in items such as this:

Skruv M6S M8x20 RF

I believe that 'RF' refers to 'rostfri', but is there are similar acronym which I can use in English? I found a similar spare parts catalogue in English here: http://southern-sweepers.com/assets/PDF/GL450 Spare Parts.pd... but can't find any equivalent to 'RF'.

As always, I would appreciate your input.

Explanation:
Depends on which you have space for! I've found plenty of examples of "SS" being used for stainless steel, but I'm not sure how frequently this is actually used in English...
