Stainless steel hygienic tubes and pipes that meet the specifications of ASME BPE (American Society of Mechanical Engineers Bioprocessing Equipment standard) are specifically designed for use in the biopharmaceutical industry. These tubes and pipes are manufactured to ensure high cleanliness and compliance with stringent industry standards for bioprocessing and pharmaceutical operations.

Key Features of ASME BPE Stainless Steel Tubes/Pipes:

1. Material Quality: Typically made from 316L stainless steel due to its superior corrosion resistance and cleanliness.
2. Surface Finish: Extremely smooth interior surface finishes are required to minimize the risk of contamination and ensure easy cleaning and sterilization. The surfaces are usually mechanically polished or electropolished.
3. Dimensional Accuracy: High precision in terms of diameter, roundness, and wall thickness to ensure reliable performance in critical applications.
4. Documentation and Traceability: Comes with comprehensive documentation to trace the material back to its source and confirm its compliance with ASME BPE standards.
5. Welding and Fabrication Standards: Specific requirements for welding and joining to ensure the integrity and strength of the pipeline in bioprocessing applications.

Applications:

• Pharmaceutical production
• Biotechnology
• Clean room environments
• Other sterile and hygienic applications

These tubes and pipes are essential components for systems that must meet rigorous sanitary requirements, often seen in systems for transporting sterile fluids and in other processes where contamination must be strictly controlled.

Procurement:

When procuring such tubes and pipes, it's important to specify that they must conform to ASME BPE standards, detailing the required surface finish grades (e.g., SF1, SF4), material specifications, and any other dimensional or performance characteristics. Suppliers specializing in hygienic and sanitary process equipment typically offer these high-quality components.
