Expanded line of
sanitary pipes, fittings
and accessories
Misumi USA, Inc, a subsidiary of Misumi Corporation and
part of Misumi Group, Inc, has announced a significant
expansion in its sanitary pipes and accessories product
category.
The expanded line of products provides design engineers
with a greater range of options in selecting fluid and air
handling system components used in manufacturing and
processing of chemicals, food and beverage products,
pharmaceuticals, medical products, electronics and other
products requiring compliance with clean room or sanitary
standards.
Misumi’s stainless steel sanitary pipes and accessories
product offerings nownumber over 100 different components,
many of which are configurable to user specifications. The
comprehensive range of sanitary pipe styles include standard
and welded low-neck pipes; standard and branched welded
pipes; small diameter pipes; and welded branched types
with selectable ends.
The standard, fixed and configurable sanitary pipes are
available in either 304 or 316 stainless steel, with each
style offered in a wide array of sizes. Shipping times vary
depending on the specific products selected.
To complete the fluid and air handling systems, Misumi has
also expanded its sanitary pipe fittings and accessories.
Notable among these new product offerings are:
• Pipe fittings, including elbow, double elbows and tees, in
different types such as ferrule x welded, double ferrules,
welded, double welded, arm lock coupling and cover
caps
• One-touch clamps – a new design that reduces the time
to attach and detach the clamp for easier installation,
operation and maintenance. A special lever provides fixed
tightening torque to enable secure attachment without
damaging the gasket. The lack of cross threading results
in greater durability compared with screw tightening
types, and the lack of friction results in less metal powder
for better sanitation
• Sanitary valves in a variety of types, including butterfly
valves, flange ball, standard ball and small diameter ball
valves
• Sight glasses, including an in-line version to view fluid
state inside glass pipes, and a view port version to view
contents such as tank fluid levels
• Tube strainers, available in two types: a standard strainer
that connects in-line with plumbing to filter out foreign
matter; and an L-shaped type that offers easy swap-out
with existing elbow plumbing
• Sanitary pressure gauges and sanitary cleaning ball
