Must Have Information about Sanitary Fittings
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
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 Clamps
Compliance• Located in United Kingdom & Ireland• An ISO 9000 Certified Company• ASME Section VIII, Appendix 24 (ASME Code)• British Standard Sizes• DIN Standard Sizes• ISO Standards• CE Compliant• Pressure Equipment – Directive 97/23/EC• Machinery – Directive 98/37/EC
Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
About Advanced Couplings Ltd.• Advanced Couplings Limited offers the
most complete line of Hygienic Clamps in the industry
• Clamps are manufactured in Ireland• Headquarters and warehouse located in UK • L.J. Star is the exclusive North American
stocking distributor
Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
Unique Features• Offering is not your average offshore produced
clamp • Unique “Omega” clamp profile is designed to
provide a higher clamping efficiency• Higher clamping efficiency means a more
efficient clamped connection
Sanitary Fittings – Hygienic Clamps
Typical clamp design is not predictable – Resulting in Uneven Gasket Compression.
Current Poor Design

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
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
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)
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!

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
