In our opinion, the Elasto-Clamp® is a revolutionary discovery as it does something we never thought could be done. The elastomeric gasket in all its varieties is still the preferred gasket in our industry because it is flexible and it basically always seals. We all know that elastomeric seals create problems inside the pipeline. The gasket is pushed inside the flow path because of over-compression and expansion. This problem is even worse after steaming in place (SIP), not to mention after repetitive steam cycles. After each steam cycle, the gasket is pushed in further and further. If the rubber is exposed inside the flow path it becomes vulnerable. Water (media) passing the gasket at a high velocity can be very abrasive, causing parts of rubber to break out eventually. The Elasto-Clamp® is Patented.

When parts are heated, they will expand. Stainless steel piping is expanding at a certain rate but the elastomer is expanding at a much greater rate. Here is a conflict that causes the elastomer to move up into the flow path. The rubber cannot go anywhere else but inside the pipeline, and of course to the outside of the ferrule. The fact itself that the
