*Sanitary fittings are designed to comply with specific standards and regulations, such as the ASME BPE (Bioprocessing Equipment) standard, which ensures hygienic design, materials and finishes.
Standard sanitary tubes, also known as sanitary pipes or sanitary pipe, refers to pipe that is specially designed and manufactured for sanitary or sanitary applications.
The selection and installation of appropriate fittings depends on factors such as building codes, intended use, and the specific requirements of the duct system.
The sanitary tube has a highly polished inner surface, the smooth surface makes the sanitary tube minimize the risk of product build-up and microbial growth, and facilitates cleaning and disinfection.
Both BPE fittings and standard 3A fittings are commonly used in the food, beverage and bioprocessing industries. While they serve similar purposes in connecting and directing fluid flow, there are some key differences between the two:
BPE standards specify levels of purity and bioburden control, establishing specific criteria for tubes materials, dimensions, surface finish, and system design to ensure hygienic and biosafety conditions during bioprocessing.
