UltraPure Hygienic Fittings for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industry - ASME BPE
Alfa Laval’s Tri-Clover BioPharm product series includes a comprehensive range of fittings designed for high-hygiene systems in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The pipes in this series comply with ASME BPE dimension standards, making them ideal for demanding sanitary applications.
What are SF1 and SF4 Surface Treatments? Mechanically Polished and Electropolished
Tri-Clover BioPharm fittings are manufactured with two surface treatments: SF1 and SF4. Both treatments ensure excellent hygiene and durability, but they differ in the treatment method and surface smoothness.
SF1: Mechanically polished, with an internal roughness (Ra) of ≤ 20 µin. This mechanical polishing provides a smooth and easy-to-clean surface, ideal for the hygiene requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries.
SF4: Electropolished, with an internal roughness (Ra) of ≤ 15 µin. Electropolishing gives an extra smooth and corrosion-resistant surface, perfect for applications where the highest standards of cleaning and long-term durability are required.
UltraPure Tri-Clover BioPharm fittings from Alfa Laval, with SF1 (mechanically polished, Ra ≤ 20 µin) and SF4 (electropolished, Ra ≤ 15 µin EP) surfaces. Ideal for the pharmaceutical and food industries. Pipes comply with ASME BPE standards.
