Sampling gaskets are used for thermal mapping during validation. They can also be used to draw samples from the pipeline by means of a sampling tube. See above animation. A standard sanitary Tri-Clamp flange utilizing the Sampling Thermocouple Gasket obtains the critical thermal mapping information needed during the validation process without interference due to incorrect installation.
The Sampling gaskets can be very useful when performing SIP validation with our new Sporfix concept. Read more about this new product below and at our website www.sporfix.eu

How to use Sampling Gaskets
The Sampling gasket is 2x the thickness of a standard Tri-Clamp gasket and can therefore hold a probe with a 2,65 mm diameter. This probe can be a thermocouple, a sampling tube, or a wire thermocouple. Insert this probe through one of the holes and securely close the special machined clamp.
If one or more of the ports is not used during thermal mapping a hole must be closed with a plug. Maximum pressure for this system is 4 bar. After validation these Sampling gasket are replaced with standard gaskets.
