How to choose the right Tri-Clamp Gaskets
for a safe and leak-free system
Proper installation & certified gaskets
for a reliable, safe system
Tri-Clamp gaskets play a critical role in ensuring leak-free, hygienic connections for pumps, filters, and fittings in industries like biotechnology,
and pharmaceuticals. Selecting the right gasket for your process is key to maintaining system integrity and preventing
contamination.
To achieve a secure and reliable seal, it’s essential to choose high-quality, certified gaskets (FDA, USP Class VI), select the correct material, ensure proper installation, and perform regular inspections of your Tri-Clamp fittings.
By following these best practices, you can maintain a safe, efficient, and compliant work environment.
Select the right gasket material for the right process
What type of gaskets
We can deliver a wide variety of sanitary seals and gaskets. These hygienic seals are used widely in the biotech, pharmaceutical, dairy, food & beverage, industrial and semi conductor industries to seal clamp connections for sanitary applications. There are gaskets without or with flanges (to aid in installation), as it can be seen in the picture on the left.

There’s more to check regarding Tri-Clamp Gaskets to maintain a reliable & safe system
Why is the proper installation of clamp connections so important?The answer is simple, if clamp connections are not correctly installed and maintained, they do not seal properly. Correct inspection and maintenance procedures are equally important to avoid problems caused by ineffective clamp connections, including product contamination, leakage, and costly downtime. Here, we outline the proper methods for clamp connection inspection, installation, and maintenance and discuss why they are vital to your process equipment operations. |

Misalignment center lineThe alignment of the ferrules is critical. The clamp cannot be used to pull pipes and components into alignment. |
 |
Misalignment angleHere ferrules are improperly aligned. One side of the gasket is over-compressed and the other side has a dangerous gap. Being off even by the slightest angle can be problematic. The maximum allowed misalignment is only 2 to 3 degrees. |
 |
The gap between the ferrule facesIdeally, to minimize pipe stress, you should start with a gap that is the same width as the gasket. |
 |
Different tube sizes, which GasketWhen joining a 1.5″ to a 1″ tube, if a 1″ gasket is used, you run risk of unsanitary conditions around the unclamped section of a 1″ gasket loosely held against the face of the 1.5″ tube flange. The larger of the two tubes determines the correct gasket size. |
