Tri-clamps are one of the most common sanitary connection types in North America. It consists of a gasket between two tri-clamp ferrules or flanges which are mechanically tightened in place with a clamp. Made from stainless steel, it is used for piping in the food, beverage, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. These ferrules are sized to be used with an orbital welder and can contribute to a high-quality weld. They are verified by both ASME A270 and 3A certifications.
Applications:
- High Purity Bio-Pharma fittings are commonly used in pharmaceutical, bio-processing, semiconductor, cosmetics, food processing and beverage markets
Specifications:
- All fittings are manufactured to meet the latest edition of the ASME BPE International Standard, Bio-processing Equipment.
- 316L stainless steel material and dimensions meet all orbital welding specifications with controlled sulfur.
- 3-A Sanitary Standards for Sanitary Fittings, Number 63-03 (Authorization number 621).
- PL Finish – SF1 (OD=32Ra - ID=20Ra)
Notes:
- Product markings per ASME BPE 2012 DT-10.1
- Product markings include: job number, 316L, part number, heat number(s), surface finish code, ASME BPE
- Per the specification, the size of the fitting may limit the space available for markings. When that occurs, not all markings are included.
- The part number will describe the part configuration and size.
- MTR (Material test report) certifications are included inside the resealable bag with each fitting. The MTRs are traceable through the Job Number found on each fitting. All fittings are capped to prevent damage and contamination. For easy identification each finish will have a different colour cap; PL finish has blue caps and PM finish has white caps.
