Material:
Typically constructed from AISI 304/316L stainless steel with electropolished surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.5μm) for contamination resistance
Clamp Mechanism:
Utilizes tri-clamp or sanitary clamp fittings (per DIN/3A/SMS standards) for rapid assembly/disassembly, ensuring airtight seals
Pressure Rating:
Common variants support 0-5 bar pressure, with some models rated for higher pressures (up to 10 bar)
Shape:
Available in round, oval, or rectangular configurations, with round types being most prevalent for dairy/pharmaceutical tanks
Gasket Options:
Includes EPDM, silicone, or Viton seals to accommodate temperature ranges from -40°C to 135°C
Neck Height:
Standard heights range from 100mm to 150mm, customizable for tank wall thickness
Food & Beverage:
Used in milk, yogurt, and dairy processing tanks, compatible with CIP/SIP cleaning
Pharmaceutical:
Meets GMP requirements for sterile bioreactors and fluid handling systems
Chemical:
Corrosion-resistant models for reactors with aggressive media
Verify clamp size (e.g., 1.5"–6") and surface finish (180–320 grit) per application needs
For pressurized systems, confirm ASME BPE compliance and gasket material compatibility
