Sanitary Clamps Fittings
Sanitary Clamp or Sanitary Fitting, is used to seal two ferrules together quickly, securely and without creating sites where contamination can collect and harbor bacteria. A quick & fast connections is important in pharmaceutical and biotech applications, which pipe and tube connections are frequently disassembled for cleaning and equipment reconfiguration. A reliable leak-free connection is imperative to meet FDA requirements for sterile process control. There are many considerations for selecting the ideal sanitary clamp or Tri-Clamp.
Clamp Types
Single bolt double pin hinges or Single Bolts on each sides (no hinge).
Fastener Sizing
Note that the outside diameter of the flange is the same for 1/2” and 3/4” fittings, as well as for 1” and 1-1/2” fittings. Therefore, measure the outside diameter of the tubing, not the flange, when sizing gaskets.
Metal
Clamps are typically constructed of 304 or 316 stainless steel. The 316 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance.
