Plastic Fittings - Bio Clamp |
|
 |
As
the alternative to traditional stainless
steel clamps, the Bio Clamp is light
weight, tough and resilient. The Bio
Clamp’s design and construction lend
itself to increased heat dissipation
during high temperature applications.
Reducing heat in non-metallic ferrules
reduces the chance of warping and
allowing leaks to occur. It may be
sterilized by either steam or gamma
irradiation. Designed to fit sanitary
flanges conforming to ISO 2852.
Bio Clamps are available in: .5” - .75”,
1” - 1.5”, 2”, 2.5”, 3”, and 4”

Testing was undertaken to
compare the effects of Autoclaving and Gamma
Irradiation sterilization on the in–use
performance of the Bio Clamp™. The durability
and robustness was tested before and after the
different types of sterilization across the
available range of Bio Clamp™ sizes. From the
testing that has been carried on the individual
sizes of the Bio Clamp™, it may be determined
that the process of autoclaving & gamma
sterilization has no negative effect on the
durability and robustness.
