Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
History
Sanitary Clamp is made specifically for the
Pharmaceutical and Biotech Industries
where joint cleanliness and efficiency are of
paramount importance.

Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
History• Pharmaceutical & Biotech had areas of
concern• Misalignment• Gasket Intrusion• Poor clamping action• No manufacturing standards
• Demanded a better hygienic connection
![Page 4: Must Have Information about Sanitary Fittings from L.J. Star Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556ddf07d8b42a524e8b48ee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
A Better Solution was neededL.J. Star / Advanced Couplings Solution
created stainless steel sanitary fittings and clamps made from investment castings to produce a high quality, precision fit assembly. The clamps are designed to provide quick access to the joint for cleaning and inspection without sacrificing safety.

Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
A Better Solution• Unique internal clamp design provides
uniform, consistent, repeatable clamping action.
• Ferrule, clamp, gasket connection provides controlled gasket intrusion• More efficient• More cleanable connection• Exceeds ASME-BPE requirements.

Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic ClampsConnection Problems• Biggest problem with the assembled joint is gasket
intrusion into the bore• Shelves or pockets are areas for bacteria traps
and contamination
![Page 30: Must Have Information about Sanitary Fittings from L.J. Star Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556ddf07d8b42a524e8b48ee/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic ClampsMisalignment• Inconsistent
dimensions lead to areas of contamination
• By controlling the dimensions of all the components, predictable gasket intrusion can be achieved
![Page 31: Must Have Information about Sanitary Fittings from L.J. Star Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556ddf07d8b42a524e8b48ee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
What is being done to change this?• New designs available but not readily accepted by the
industry. • Millions of Hygienic Clamp Fittings (Tri-Clamp) being used
today• Swagelok® “TS” Fitting (Special Seal Design)• BBS-Systems Quick Connect (O-Ring Seal)• DIN 11864 (O-Ring Seal)
![Page 32: Must Have Information about Sanitary Fittings from L.J. Star Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556ddf07d8b42a524e8b48ee/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
What is being done to change this?• ASME-BPE• Developed a standard for gasket intrusion of
+/- 0.025”• Developing standard dimensions for Hygienic
Clamp Fittings• NO U.S. STANDARD EXISTS!
![Page 33: Must Have Information about Sanitary Fittings from L.J. Star Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556ddf07d8b42a524e8b48ee/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
• By controlling the dimensions of the Ferrules, Gaskets and Clamps, we can provide an assembled joint that has +/- 0.005” gasket intrusion
• Far better than what is allowed by ASME-BPE• This can be achieved without having to produce
special fittings!• Standard off the shelf products
