Abstract

Specifies materials, dimensions, tolerances, surface roughness, assembly and hygienic requirements for both welded- and extended-type clamp liners and gaskets in pipe couplings for the food industry. The revision includes additional welded-type clamp liner and gasket dimensions.

Scope

This Standard applies to welded-type and expanded-type clamp liners and gaskets in tube couplings for effecting joins in pipelines in food processing plants. It specifies the materials, dimensions, and surface finish requirements.
This Standard excludes the operational requirements of the product. A cross-section of clamp coupling assembly is given in Appendix A.
