Schedule 5/10 Pipe Sized Sanitary Tri-Clamp® Gaskets - FKM
Note: Gaskets 3" and below are unflanged, 4" and larger sizes are flanged. These gaskets are intended for use with nominally sized pipe ferrules (Schedule 5 and Schedule 10). If you are looking for traditional Tri-Clamp® Tube OD ferrule gaskets we have
FKM Tri-Clamp® Gaskets are specified by many process equipment manufacturers and are generally suitable for these applications, however service life must be considered and a preventative maintenance program must be in place to mitigate degradation. While acceptable, we do not recommend FKM Gaskets for continuous use in SIP (steam in place) procedures. With that said, FKM Sanitary Gaskets have excellent compatibility with strong acids and maintain a broad range of operating temperatures from -30°F to 400°F.
Storing FKM Gaskets:
- Shelf Life: 10 Years from cure date
- Store in original packaging in clean and dry warehouse
- Do not expose to direct sunlight
- Keep more than 6' away from electric motors
- Maintain temperature between 65°F and 85°F
- FDA CFR 21, 177.2600
- U.S. Pharmacopeia Class VI Certification
- USDA Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
- Cytotoxicity Criteria
- USDA and 3-A Sanitary Standards
- ASME-BPE Standards for Type I and Type II
- ADI Free® (Animal Derived Ingredient Free)
- Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP)
- Color Code: one white dot, one yellow dot • •
- -30°F to 400°F Temperature Range
- Acceptable for steam applications
