1635 Series Tri Clamp Gaskets

PTFE Sanitary Tri-Clamp Gaskets are suitable for applications where low-temperature flexibility and hygienic seal memory are not essential. However, they are not recommended for use in environments with frequent large temperature variations, as this can compromise the seal integrity due to changes in PTFE density.

To mitigate this effect, high-pressure clamps are recommended. PTFE gaskets exhibit excellent heat resistance, operating effectively within a temperature range of -100°F to 500°F. They possess good chemical stability, minimal extractables, low absorption rates, and excellent resistance to process fluids. These gaskets are ideal for prolonged use in water and steam applications, particularly in the dairy, food products, drug, and chemical industries.

They provide an effective seal in stainless steel sanitary fittings and equipment, including vacuum and pressure lines. PTFE’s chemical inertness makes it suitable for processes involving rotating connections and hot applications. Additionally, it exhibits high resistance to corrosive liquids like ethanol.

For optimal performance, store PTFE gaskets in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight and electric motors, and maintain a temperature range of 65°F to 85°F. These gaskets comply with FDA CFR 21, 177.1550, U.S. Pharmacopeia Class VI, and other relevant standards.
