SHOCK and PULSATION DAMPING In the Liquid FOODs, Drugs, and BEVERAGE Industries
1. Do You Need An ELASTOMER (FDA Nitrile, EP, Fluoro-Carbon etc.),
Or A PLASTOMER (DuPont "Teflon", FLEXFLON, Polyflon, etc.)?
2. Do you need FIP, CIP, HIP, or SIP? 3. And how easily a disassembly?
How clean is clean!
SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR, FOR YOUR CHOICE

 When your liquid has high clinging power you may specify virgin PTFE, and flow through constant agitation, FLEXORBER. From Cocoa butter, bio-eng. to special RO. SIZES:- 25 ml.-16 Liter, 1.5 in3 to 1,000 in3 Connections:- TriClover/ CB, or IDF etc. 3 max., upto 4" tubing (100mm) |
 |
|
 When your hot Lye, dilute Nitric, and flush cycles are below process pressure, the diaphragm must not be driven down by the cushion pre-fill set pressure. Transfer fluid volume is set, so diaphragm can not mask, the surfaces to be cleaned. SIZES:- 0.25 Liter 15 in3 to 1,000 in3, 16 Liter DuPont Teflon and Elastomer versions available. Note: These are not "on the shelf" Inventory items. |

  C.I.P. - Widely spaced inlet and outlet plus small entrained volume + smooth virgin PTFE ensure full scouring at high velocity. Use, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography SIZES: 0.13 to 2.5 Liter, 8 to 150 in3 |
||
| The HPLC Can be F.I.P., C.I.P., H.I.P., or S.I.P. (see above for abbr. explanation) at below process pressure depending on :- VELOCITY DURATION And FLUSHANT. |

These options impact both cost and lead time availability. Please state which you need. If you require definition, we will be pleased to send to you document ldi-std-s/c.doc 1:3:92 rev.2, on request.
HOW SMOOTH IS SMOOTH? |
| SURFACE PREPARATIONS - options that affect cost and speed of availability |
| 180 GRIT/BEAD BLAST = 85 micro inch c.l.a. + PASTE HONED = improved to 32 micro-inch + ELECTRO POLISH = 20 micro-inch c.l.a. + SMOOTH = 500 grit 16 micro-inch c.l.a. + POLISHED = 8 micro-inch c.l.a. + CREVICE FREE of any indentation greater than 0.0005" deep & less than 0.00075 wide + SUPER PURE = from 316L special low sulfur material, subject to all prior treatments plus passivation + ULTRA PURE = all above plus - from vacuum re-melt sulphur removal with 0.005% max hydrogen flash gold plated acetate wafer finger print electron beam surface test, 30-40 Angstrome chrome oxide layer, 2:1 chrome to iron, "outgassed" & 18 megohm test of demonized water flushant, dried with 99.999% pure hot N2, etc. |
HOW CLEAN IS CLEAN? |
| IN PLACE CLEANABILITY - Your procedures that can determine product type. |
| FLUSH In PLACE "FIP", CLEAN In PLACE "CIP", STERILIZATION In PLACE "SIP", HYGIENIC IN PLACE "HIP". Please choose the most appropriate, from what you wish to achieve. Please state for all - flushants, biocides, sterilizing agents, & post sterilizing washes: Their generic names, and the pressure, temperature, flow velocity, & duration. Please provide a copy of the test procedure, for checking the effectiveness of the above process. |
