Dixon Sanitary Fittings, Tubing, and Pipe were Developed Because They are Cleanable. Sanitary Fittings Limit Entrapment Areas Where Bacteria Could Form. They are also Corrosion Resistant.
Sanitary Fittings come in
304 and 316 Stainless Steel.
316 Stainless has a Chemical Element Added Called Molybdenum. Molybdenum Makes 316 Stainless More Resistant to Corrosion and Oxidation.
304 Stainless Steel is used For:
Beer
Wine
Water
Dairy
Most Food Products
Oils and Most Extracts
316 & 316L Stainless Steel is used For:
Pharmaceuticals and More Corrosive Materials Such as:
Bleach/Cleaning Products
Oily Meats at High Temperatures
Medical Products
Chemical Applications
High Salt Concentrations
Sanitary TUBE Fittings are Measured
in Tube OD (outside diameter)
Sanitary PIPE Fittings are Measured by
“Nominal Pipe Size” (NPS) and
Schedule (wall thickness).
304 Stainless is an Economical and Practical Choice for Most Environments,
But it Doesn’t Have the Corrosion-Resistance of Higher Quality 316 Stainless Steel. Check Out These V-Band Exhaust Clamps Today.
