Comprehensive fitting inventory in DIN/IDF and SMS sanitary connection standards supporting clean-in-place installations and hygienic applications
Overview
Pelican Metal Craft stocks comprehensive fitting inventory in DIN/IDF and SMS sanitary connection standards supporting clean-in-place dairy installations, pharmaceutical process piping, food and beverage manufacturing, and any application requiring hygienic pipe joining with gasket-sealed connections enabling disassembly for inspection and maintenance.
DIN/IDF Unions (Tri-Clamp Connections)
Tri-clamp sanitary unions enable tool-free assembly and disassembly for CIP cleaning access, maintenance operations, and inspection port requirements in dairy milk lines, pharmaceutical process piping, and food processing equipment.
Available Specifications
- Sizes: 1-inch through 4-inch
- Grades: 304 and 316L stainless steel
- Machined gasket seating groove for proper compression
- Ferrule ends designed for standard tri-clamp clamps
- Smooth internal bore transitions minimizing pressure drop
Gasket Materials Available
- EPDM: Food-grade standard, temperature range -50°C to +150°C
- Viton: Chemical resistance and elevated temperature to +200°C
- PTFE: Pharmaceutical and ultra-clean applications
- Silicone: High-purity pharmaceutical applications with specific regulatory compliance
Applications
SMS Unions & Cap Nuts
SMS (Svenska Mejeriernas Standardiseringskommitté) fittings developed specifically for dairy industry sanitary requirements provide round-thread connections with elastomer seals creating hygienic, leak-tight joints resistant to loosening under vibration and thermal cycling.
Specifications
- Available sizes: 1-inch through 4-inch
- Grades: 304 and 316L stainless steel
- Round-thread connections with elastomer seals
- Leak-tight joints resistant to vibration and thermal cycling
- Robust mechanical connection for demanding applications
Key Advantages
- Superior strength compared to tri-clamp assemblies
- Resistant to accidental disassembly
- Additional connection strength for high-pressure applications
- Compatible with European-standard dairy equipment
- Weather-resistant for outdoor installations
Applications
Elbows (45-Degree & 90-Degree Bends)
Long-radius elbows providing gradual flow direction changes minimizing pressure drop and preventing product accumulation in piping bends. Long-radius geometry creates gentle flow transition, reducing turbulence and enabling effective CIP cleaning.
Design Features
- 45-degree and 90-degree configurations
- Long-radius geometry (1.5x pipe diameter)
- Smooth internal contours free from weld intrusion
- No sharp transitions that trap product or resist cleaning
- Available in sizes 1-inch through 4-inch
Connection Options
- Tri-clamp connections for sanitary applications
- SMS connections for dairy industry standards
- Welded end connections for permanent installations
- Grade 304 and 316L material options
Applications
Equal Tees
Branch connections enabling flow splitting or combining in sanitary piping systems. Smooth internal transitions prevent product holdup and enable effective CIP solution coverage during automated cleaning cycles.
Design Characteristics
- Identical connection sizes at all three ports
- Available 1-inch through 4-inch sizes
- Smooth internal transitions for sanitary design
- Sufficient material thickness preventing deformation
- Structural rigidity for piping system support
Material Options
- Grade 304 stainless steel (standard corrosion resistance)
- Grade 316L stainless steel (enhanced corrosion resistance)
- Tri-clamp sanitary connections
- Complete internal bore access for cleaning validation
Applications
Reducers (Concentric & Eccentric)
Precision reducers enabling smooth diameter transitions while maintaining sanitary design principles and self-draining geometry essential for hygienic applications.
Concentric Reducers
Symmetrical diameter reduction suitable for vertical piping where maintaining centerline alignment is important. Used in pumping systems and pressure vessel nozzle connections.
- Maintains centerline alignment
- Ideal for vertical installations
- Used in pressure systems
- Compatible with NPSH requirements
Eccentric Reducers
Asymmetrical reduction maintaining constant bottom elevation enabling complete drainage in horizontal piping. Essential for sanitary applications preventing product holdup or cleaning solution pooling.
- Flat bottom side preventing low points
- Complete drainage capability
- Prevents liquid accumulation
- Sanitary design compliant
Specifications
- Standard size transitions (e.g., 2-inch to 1-inch, 3-inch to 2-inch)
- Tri-clamp or welded end connections
- Smooth internal transitions free from sharp edges
- Grade 304 and 316L availability
Applications
- Pump suction line sizing for NPSH requirements
- Pipe size transitions in process lines
- Drain line connections maintaining self-draining slope
- Integration of different diameter equipment in processing systems
Flanges
PN 16 rated flanges for 16 bar working pressure at ambient temperature, enabling bolted connections for larger diameter piping, heavy equipment mounting, and systems requiring periodic disassembly for maintenance.
Pressure Rating & Sizes
- PN 16 pressure rating (16 bar working pressure)
- Available sizes: 1-inch through 6-inch
- Grade 304 and 316L materials
- Stress distribution through tapered hub design
Flange Configurations
- Welding Neck Flanges: Preferred for pressure applications with stress distribution
- Slip-On Flanges: Cost-effective for lower pressure service
- Blind Flanges: For line termination or equipment nozzle closure
Facing Options
- Smooth face finish
- Raised face configuration
- Ring-type joint facing
- Custom facing to match gasket requirements
