What is tri clamp ferrule?
Tri-Clamp Ferrules are a flanged fitting used to connect two separate pieces of sanitary tubing. This connection is completed with the use of a clamp and gasket to create a water-tight seal.
How do you size a tri clamp?
Tri Clamp sizes are determined by the outer diameter of the pipe or tubing, not the outer diameter of the flange or Tri Clamp itself. The flange of a Tri Clamp fitting typically has about a ½” inch greater diameter than the outside diameter of the pipe.
How do you measure a tri clamp gasket?
Option 1 | Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of the gasket: Lay your gasket down on a sheet of paper and trace a circle around the outside. Measure the diameter of the traced circle to determine your tri-clamp gasket’s Outside Diameter (OD)
What is Tri-clamp connection?
Tri-clamps are one of the most common types of pipe connections in the food, beverage, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. This type of connection consists of a gasket compressed between two tri-clamp ferrules or flanges which are mechanically compressed in place with a clamp.
What is a roll on ferrule?
Roll-on ferrules are typically used in the dairy and poultry industries. Instead of butt welding, the roll-on ferrule is typically slipped over the tube and rough welded into place. Rolling Expander Tool for Applying Ferrules also available here.
What size Tri-clamp fits a keg?
2″
2″ Tri Clover Compatible fittings can be connected to the top of an American Sanke keg. This size is widely used by home brewers to convert kegs into mask tuns, hot liquor tanks and boil kettles.
How are sanitary fittings measured?
Sanitary pipes are measured by the outside diameter (OD) of the tube. To measure a sanitary fitting, measure the OD of the tube section of the fitting. It’s important to distinguish the outside diameter from the inside diameter. Thicker piping can have significant differences between the inside and outside diameters.
