These fittings are built with non-toxic, corrosion-resistant materials for use in industries that demand ¡°food-grade¡± cleanliness, ensuring zero contamination of the fluid medium.
3A sanitary stainless steel 90 degree welded short elbow has strong corrosion resistance and long service life. The fitting is easy to install and features problem-free welding and assembly with the highest possible strength.
Sanitary elbows are typically made of the stainless steel grade 304 or 316 to provide a sterile and corrosion-free surface.
Sanitary accessories 304 are designed and manufactured for food, beverage, medical, pharmaceutical and biological applications that require cleanliness and sterility. These accessories are made of materials that ensure sterility and remain sterile during operation.
Sanitary fittings are primarily measured by the Outside Diameter (OD) and Inside Diameter (ID) of the tube end or flange end. This measurement, known as the ¡°sanitary size,¡± usually ranges from ?¡± up to 12¡±.
Stainless steel, thanks to its passive chromium oxide coating, does not react with other substances. Thanks to this, it can be freely used in contact with food. Strict HACCP standards require the use of stainless steel in contact with food. All because steel is non-toxic and easy to keep clean. Stainless steel elements can be cleaned with most common detergents and we do not have to worry that the steel surfaces will lose their properties or change their appearance.
Other available materials include silicone, rubber compounds, galvanized steel, and nylon. These sanitary fittings are primarily used to connect hoses to valves, water pumps, and deck drains.
A 45o elbow, also known as a ¡°45 bend¡± or ¡°45 L,¡± is commonly used in water-supply facilities, food, chemical, electronic industrial pipeline networks, air-conditioning pipelines, agriculture, garden production, and solar-energy facility piping.
