5 Micron Filter Gaskets — Ultra-Fine Inline Filtration

A 5 micron filter removes fine particulates including sediment, rust, sand, scale, cysts, microplastics, and suspended solids down to 5 microns in size. In sanitary process applications, it also captures contaminants in food and beverage streams, chemical process fluids, and pharmaceutical media, providing precise ultra-fine inline filtration.

The gaskets feature a VITON/FKM elastomer body combined with a 316L stainless steel 5 micron filtration screen. VITON/FKM provides excellent chemical resistance to petroleum derivatives, alcohols, ethers, glycols, fats, oils, and greases, while 316L SS ensures sanitary, corrosion-resistant filtration performance across demanding process environments.

The VITON/FKM 5 Micron Tri Clamp Screen Gaskets are available in five sizes: 1.5 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch, and 6 inch tri clamp connections. Pricing starts from $27.50 and varies by size, allowing selection for a wide range of pipeline and process system configurations.

These filter gaskets are rated for a wide operating temperature range of -40°F to +250°F (-40°C to +121°C). This broad range makes them suitable for diverse industrial applications including heated chemical processing, cold dairy operations, and standard food and beverage processing environments requiring reliable sanitary filtration.

Yes. The gaskets comply with FDA 21CFR177.2600 and FDA 21CFR177.1550, are approved under 3A Sanitary Standards, hold USDA approval, and have passed U.S.P. Class VI Cytotoxicity testing. This comprehensive regulatory compliance makes them suitable for pharmaceutical, biotech, food processing, dairy, and brewing applications requiring validated sanitary components.

These filter gaskets are designed for tri clamp (also known as sanitary clamp or Tri-Clover) connections, the industry-standard fitting in sanitary process piping. They install inline between two tri clamp ferrules, providing seamless 5 micron filtration without additional housing, making them ideal for compact, hygienic process systems.
