Why is it Called a Tri-Clamp?

The term Tri-Clamp refers to the three components involved in the connection: two ferrules (or flanges) on the ends of the pipes or equipment being connected, and a clamp that holds them together. This setup creates a secure, leak-proof seal and allows for quick and easy assembly and disassembly.

Commonly used to refer to this type of sanitary connection in various industries.

 

6 Tips to Choose a Qualified Sanitary Valve

When choosing a suitable sanitary valve, especially a Tri-Clamp ball valve, you need to consider several key factors to ensure its performance, durability and adaptability.

Here are 6 important tips for choosing a qualified sanitary valve:

1. Material selection

High-quality Tri-Clamp ball valves are usually made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant materials such as 304 or 316L stainless steel to ensure long-term stable operation and excellent durability in environments with strict hygienic requirements.

2. Fluid compatibility

Choose the appropriate ball valve type according to the type of fluid in the system (such as liquid, gas or slurry). Make sure that the valve design can effectively cope with the chemical properties and working environment of the medium used to avoid leakage or corrosion.

3. Sealing and leakage protection

Check whether the valve has a double sealing design to enhance its protection. The precision Tri-Clamp ball valve has excellent sealing performance, effectively prevents fluid leakage, and ensures the reliability of system operation.

4. Size and connection method

Make sure the size of the valve matches the pipeline. Tri-Clamp connection is a common design in the industry that is easy to disassemble, clean and maintain. Choose the right size and connection form to ensure the convenience of installation and sealing effect.

5. Pressure and temperature range

Choose a ball valve that can adapt to the temperature and pressure requirements of your working environment. High-quality Tri-Clamp ball valves are designed to withstand pressure and temperature changes from low to high, ensuring stable operation under harsh working conditions.

6. Ease of cleaning and maintenance

The easy-to-clean design of sanitary valves is crucial, especially in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages.

Tri-Clamp ball valves usually have smooth inner walls and removable structures, which are easy to clean and disinfect regularly and meet industry hygiene standards.

Choosing the right tri-clamp ball valve can improve pipeline efficiency and ensure safe fluid transmission. Our high-quality, durable and versatile sanitary tri-clamp ball valves are ideal for your needs.
