Sanitary Clamp Connection
A complete sanitary clamp joint typically uses two compatible ferrules, a properly selected gasket, and a matching sanitary clamp.
The gasket fits between the opposing ferrule faces while the clamp secures the connection, creating a removable joint that can be disassembled for cleaning, inspection, sanitation, or maintenance.
Verify mating ferrule size, gasket material, clamp compatibility, operating temperature, pressure limitations, and process compatibility before installation.
3-A Sanitary Standard Reference
Dixon's hygienic fittings catalog references 3-A Sanitary Standard 63-04 for the L14AM7 long weld ferrule family.
For specification-driven or regulated installations, confirm that the exact fitting, connection assembly, fabrication procedure, and installation method satisfy the requirements applicable to the process system.
Installation
Verify that the 8" tube O.D. matches the sanitary tubing and mating components before beginning installation.
Prepare the tubing and ferrule using appropriate hygienic fabrication practices. Weld surfaces should be clean and free of dirt, oil, oxidation, and other contaminants that could affect weld quality.
Use an appropriate welding process and qualified procedure for 304 stainless steel sanitary tubing. Maintain proper alignment between the ferrule and tubing during fabrication to help provide a smooth internal transition.
After welding, inspect and finish the joint according to the cleanliness and surface-finish requirements of the process system.
When assembling the clamp side, use a compatible mating ferrule, properly selected sanitary gasket, and appropriate sanitary clamp.
Our team can help review your tube O.D., stainless steel grade, mating ferrule, gasket, clamp, and process requirements before you order.
