Made from high-quality materials: Typically 316L stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and easy to clean.
Smooth internal surfaces:Crevice-free welds: Achieved through specialized welding techniques to eliminate potential hiding places for bacteria.
Standardized dimensions: Ensures compatibility with other ASME BPE components.
Polished external surfaces: For a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
ASME BPE stands for American Society of Mechanical Engineers Bioprocessing Equipment. It’s a globally recognized standard that defines requirements for the design, fabrication, and construction of equipment used in industries requiring high levels of purity and bioburden control. The ASME BPE standard is officially recognized as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ensuring its credibility and acceptance across industries.
