Hygienic Flow Indicators for Sterile Service

Flow indicator for sterile service in a protective stainless steel housing. The glass tube is surrounded by a stainless steel tube with cushion O-rings preventing damage from mechanical impact or vibrations. The protective tube has a precise match in height of the glass tube, allowing the glass tube to remain stress-free from flange clamping forces, of misalignment of mating pipe-ends. This flow indicator is an efficient choice for a quick observation inside a process pipeline carrying fluids or powders. The glass is internally sealed with flush-style O-ring seals minimizing traps for bacteria or residues. Connections are Swagelok TS biopharm fittings. Use with SH- or SHX--type clamps featuring controlled gasket compression to prevent gasket extrusion and fluid holdup. The flow indicator can be used during SIP/CIP and sterilizing/autoclaving.

Full view flow indicator with KF flanges for sterile service. The flow indicator provides unobstructed 360-degree view of the process pipeline flow. This is a super efficient indicator for a quick observation inside a pipeline carrying fluids or powders. One benefit of this flow indicator is the fully exposed glass tube protected from pipe stress by precision fasteners between the heads clamping on the tie rod shoulders instead of the tube. The glass tube remains stress-free and can carry higher operating pressure. The glass is internally sealed with flush-style O-ring seals minimizing traps for bacteria or residues. Connections are Swagelok TS biopharm fittings. Use with SH- or SHX--type clamps featuring controlled gasket compression to prevent gasket extrusion and fluid holdup. All seals are USP Class VI and FDA compliant. Standard materials of construction are 316L Stainless Steel with full material traceability (ASME BPE Standards), Borosilicate glass, EPDM O-rings.

The strongest, most secure glass elements in a sanitary flow indicator. Designed for quickly accessing the internal of the pipeline without having to remove the entire flow indicator. Metaglas disks are secured to the KF-style flanges with sanitary clamps. This connection offers flexibility in selecting from SH or SSH, or ASME clamps depending on the required operating pressure. This flow indicator offers an uninterrupted surface between the glass and the metal housing, for preventing bacteria build-up or trapping the process material.
