Is the SMS end with GZ notched tail, stainless steel, type SZK compatible with 10 bar working pressure and AISI 316 in food industry applications?

Yes. The SMS end with GZ notched tail, stainless steel, type SZK Format is compatible with 10 bar working pressure and AISI 316 in food industry applications. The product description specifies AISI 316 material, surface finish Ra 0.8 Âµm in the bore, and a maximum allowable working pressure for the connection of 10 bar (per BS 4825-5). Operating temperature depends on the gasket material chosen, so select a food-grade gasket rated for your process temperature.

Can the SMS end with GZ notched tail, stainless steel, type SZK be used with Ra 0.8 Âµm gasket in food applications at 10 bar?

Yes. SMS end with GZ notched tail, stainless steel, type SZK Format with Ra 0.8 Âµm in the bore, made of AISI 316 and rated to 10 bar per BS 4825-5, can be used in food applications with a Ra 0.8 Âµm gasket provided the gasket material itself is food-grade and suitable for the intended temperature and media. Ensure the chosen gasketâs temperature and chemical compatibility match operating conditions; maintain hygienic assembly and cleanability per food industry standards. If gasket manufacturerâs pressure/temperature limits or certifications restrict use, follow those limits.

Can the SMS end with GZ notched tail, stainless steel, type SZK meet food industry standards when used with Ra 0.8 Âµm gasket?

Yes. SMS end with GZ notched tail, stainless steel, type SZK Format can meet food industry standards when used with a Ra 0.8 Âµm gasket, provided the following conditions are met: - Surface finish: The specified Ra 0.8 Âµm (in the gasket contact area) is within commonly accepted hygienic requirements for many food applications and supports cleanability and low bacterial retention when maintained. - Material compatibility: AISI 316 stainless steel is suitable for food contact, corrosion-resistant, and commonly accepted in the industry. - Gasket selection: The gasket material must be food-grade (e.g., FDA or EU-approved elastomers/PTFE) and compatible with process media and cleaning/sanitizing agents; its temperature rating must cover the operating range. - Mechanical limits: The connectionâs maximum allowable working pressure of 10 bar (per BS 4825-5) and the joint design must suit the process pressure and temperature conditions during operation, CIP/SIP cycles, and transient events. - Cleanability and joint design: The notched (corrugated) tail and external thread Rd must not create crevices that impede cleaning; correct assembly, appropriate gasket compression, and compatible clamp/housing design are required to ensure a hygienic seal. - Validation and certification: Final acceptance requires verification (surface Ra measurement, material certificates for AISI 316 and gasket, and pressure/temperature suitability) and meeting any applicable standards/regulations for the specific food process and region. If these requirements are satisfied, SMS end with GZ notched tail, stainless steel, type SZK Format used with a Ra 0.8 Âµm gasket can meet food industry standards.
