Select TUF STEEL for Outstanding Durability
TUF-STEEL easily outperforms standard solid PTFE and PTFE envelope gaskets even hi the most demanding SIP pharmaceutical applications. In fact, TUF-STEEL lasts a minimum of five times longer in most applications!
Cut Costly Downtime
TUF-STEEL is ideal for sanitary steam pipe connections in extreme temperatures ranging from -20ºF to 450ºF. The superior strength of TUF-STEEL eliminates cold flow creep to prevent maintenance problems and system downtime. With selection for virtually any SIP application. TUF-STEEL gaskets are available in a variety of sanitary standard sizes from 1/2" to 12" diameter.
What’s more, TUF-STEEL works with die Torque-Rile® Perfect Surface Gasket System, eliminating the potential for bacterial entrapment caused by over-tightening or under-tightening.
