Sanitary fittings, also referred to as hygienic or high purity fittings, are tubing connections installed in process piping systems to ensure sterility and cleanliness. Their primary purpose is to connect different sections of piping and regulate the flow of fluids. However, unlike regular fittings, sanitary fittings are specifically designed and manufactured to prevent the entrapment, formation, and spread of bacteria within the piping system.
These fittings find extensive usage in industries such as biological, pharmaceutical, medical, food and beverage, dairy, cosmetic, and personal care. These industries demand stringent hygiene, sterility, and cleanliness standards.
Furthermore, sanitary fittings play a crucial role in facilities dealing with potentially hazardous chemicals. They help minimize safety risks and prevent contamination through leakages. Hence, the significance of sanitary fittings in maintaining safety and hygiene standards during operation cannot be overstated.
One of the key advantages of sanitary fittings is their cleanability. They can be thoroughly cleaned either by manual disassembly and cleaning or through an inbuilt clean-in-place (CIP) process. This ability ensures that the required levels of hygiene and sterility are consistently upheld throughout their usage.
Most sanitary fittings are constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its sterilizability and corrosion-resistant properties, as it can withstand frequent exposure to high temperatures, pressure, and chemicals. Stainless steel is the preferred material for sanitary fittings in process piping, often employing high-grade alloys when necessary. In addition to being naturally antimicrobial, stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion. Its smooth surface is easy to clean, making it an ideal choice for facilities where hygiene and cleanliness are of utmost importance.
