Modern production in pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and biotechnologies requires perfect purification of working substances. The presence of microparticles leads to defects in finished products and financial losses of up to 2 million rubles/day. High-quality piping equipment guarantees the perfection of the final product and the safety of the entire technological cycle.
What are ultra-high purity media?
Such substances are characterized by the minimal presence of foreign impurities.: highly purified water for medical products, special reagents for high-tech complexes, and ultrapure gases for the electronics industry. Particles as small as 0.1 microns can disrupt the functionality of the entire production line.
The ISO 14644 protocol establishes the classification (ISO 1-9), GMP forms the requirements for pharmaceutical activities, and SEMI – defines the criteria for manufacturing microcircuits. These guidelines define limit levels of micro-contamination in the working environment for valves. Proper use of such standards makes it possible to achieve impeccable sterility in the enterprise.
Standards and certification
The components for the valve's working environment are designed in accordance with the ISO 9001, ASME BPE and FDA directives. Surfaces coming into contact with substances are polished to Ra 0.5 microns for pharmacology and Ra 0.25 microns for electronics.
The analysis shows that 78% of technical managers in Moscow and the region consider certification as the determining criterion when selecting equipment for sterile systems.
Types of fittings for ultra-high purity media
Fittings the scope of application covers many types and types of products:
- Overlapping elements (gates, gate valves)
- Metering devices (pressure stabilizers)
- Switching parts (fittings, flanges)
Membrane structures separate the working medium for the valves from the control mechanisms with a PTFE barrier. The control units precisely adjust the flow pressure, which is critically important for biologically active materials.
During installation, specialized connectors made of steel alloys are used. Threaded fittings are becoming the optimal choice for systems that require frequent disassembly. A large selection of high-quality fittings is presented in the catalog on the CIR-LOK website.
Conclusion
Properly selected equipment ensures reliability, flawlessness of the final product and compliance with technical standards. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account the functional characteristics, compatibility and documented guarantees of manufacturing quality.
For complex tasks, it is recommended to use
