5U Viton Screen Gaskets

Viton is a synthetic fluoroelastomer rubber, not a plastic. It belongs to the FKM family of fluorinated elastomers and exhibits the flexibility and sealing characteristics of rubber while offering exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and degradation. Its elastomeric properties make it ideal for gaskets and seals in demanding industrial, food-grade, and pharmaceutical applications.

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. This range accommodates a wide variety of sanitary process piping configurations commonly found in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing facilities.

The 5U Viton/FKM Screen Gaskets are rated for an operating temperature range of -40°F to +250°F. This wide thermal range makes them suitable for both cold processing environments and high-temperature sanitary applications, including pasteurization, steam-in-place (SIP), and clean-in-place (CIP) processes common in food and pharmaceutical production.

Yes. The 5U Viton Screen Gaskets comply with FDA 21CFR177.2600 and FDA 21CFR177.1550, are approved under 3A Sanitary Standards, and are USDA approved. They have also passed U.S.P. Class VI Cytotoxicity testing, confirming their suitability for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food-grade fluid handling applications requiring the highest material safety standards.

The filtration screen in the 5U Viton Screen Gaskets is constructed from 316L Stainless Steel, rated at 5 microns. The 316L grade provides superior corrosion resistance against a wide range of chemicals, acids, and cleaning agents. The stainless steel screen is integrated directly into the Viton/FKM gasket body for a robust, sanitary seal in tri clamp connections.

These gaskets are widely used in food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and biotechnology fluid handling, dairy and brewing filtration, chemical processing involving solvents and petroleum derivatives, and industrial applications with fats, oils, and greases. Their multi-regulation compliance and broad chemical resistance make them a versatile choice across sanitary and hygienic processing environments.
