Value of Rubber Fab’s Smart Gasket™ is proven when validating sterility in a high-purity pharmaceutical system. Your standard sanitary flange utilizing the Smart Gasket® is used to obtain the critical thermal mapping information you need during the validation process.
Smart Gasket® easily installs between two sanitary standard flanges using the Rubber Fab sanitary Smart Clamp to secure the flanges. Our clamp provides up to four internal ports for accepting the Smart Gasket® thermocouple samples or accessories; i.e. ACC-T or K-199-S-Short Temperature Probe; ACC-T or K-199A-LLong Temperature Probe.
Choose between the Smart Gasket® Spore Trap (left) or Rubber Fab™’s Thermocouple Gasket (above) to securely retain spore challenge test strips. There is also a sampler device available that utilizes standard luer lock fittings. Meter fluids in your process system utilizing a peristaltic pump or withdraw samples utilizing our luer lock sampler and luer lock valve or syringe.
Smart Gasket® with a Thermocouple Clamp is available in
1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, 1-1/2″, 2″, 3″ and 4″ sizes and fits standard
sanitary flanges. Choose between EPDM, Platinum-Cured
Silicone, and FKM.

Sanitary Tri-Clamp® Gaskets could fail for
a number of reasons causing leaks,
bacteria entrapment and ultimately
plant shutdowns. To the right are
just a few reasons why a gasket
could fail and what to look for
when installing gaskets
in a process line.
Kalrez® is a sealing product for use in food, beverage
and pharmaceutical processing applications where
FDA and Class VI compliance is required. Kalrez®
Tri-Clamp® gasket LS390 is designed to address
thermal and chemical resistance, compression set
issues and high static friction, which can cause
intrusion in the process line. The Kalrez® gasket can
address these problems by offering high hardness,
low stiction and a high temperature resistance. These
properties enable increased MTBR (Mean Time
Between Repair). Because of its unique grey color,
LS390 seals are easy to identify for proper material
selection and application. Kalrez® LS390 Tri-Clamp®
gasket is available from 1/2″ to 6″ and has a maximum
application temperature of 428ºF (220ºC)

A PTFE envelope gasket has the chemical resistance of PTFE and the elastomeric characteristics of EPDM or FKM Fluoroelastomer. Envelope Gaskets have an outer shell of white PTFE and the option of either an EPDM filler or a FKM
filler, depending on the application need. The PTFE envelope gasket meets FDA and USP Class VI standards. Envelope
gaskets are available in 1/2″ – 12″ and Flanged, 1″ – 4″
These actual size drawings are provided to eliminate sizing errors when specifying sanitary fittings. The outside diameter is the same for 1/8″, 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, and 3/4″ ID, “mini” sizes (0.992″ OD). The same holds true for the 1″ and 1-1/2″ ID sizes (1.984″ OD). The 2″, 2-1/2″, 3″, 4″, and 6″ ID have specific OD diameters.
For your convenience and ordering accuracy, all of thesedrawings may be used as sizing ID and OD patterns.
