Screens
Our screens are not used the same way as conventional filters, although it can be considered a filter.
Conventional filters are build differently and have many layers to prevent particles to pass through,
these can reach efficiencies of almost 100%. Our screens are only one layer and therefore they cannot
be considered the same.
Screens are designated in mesh sizes. Mesh 20, 40, 100 etc. 20 mesh means 20 wires per inch,
in both directions, the hole is therefore square. The higher the mesh number the smaller the hole size.
The smallest size has a 10 µm retention, 200 x 1150 wires. It is important to take into account the shape of
the particles anticipated in your system when choosing your mesh sizes. It is surely not an exact science.
Typical application for a screen is a pump protection. Think about what can be pumped through a new
build piping system in a startup! Some pumps might not survive this first run. Another application is a
fine filter in front of filling needles in the final stage of a pharmaceutical line. Just to prevent any lose
particle to end up in a vial.
Screens can also be used at the point of use in WFI systems, it is fascinating to know that the pressure
drop over a 1,5” screen with 100 mesh is only 100 mbar at 6m3/h. Frequent cleaning is required,
because the captured particles will create a higher pressure drop.

Orifice plates
Ultrapharma offers a very wide range of Orifice
Plates, used to alter flow patterns in critical systems.
Orifice plates are made in 316L stainless steel and
can be electro polished as an option. Standard plates
are delivered without hole. We offer custom drilled
holes either eccentric (self-draining) or concentric.
A new innovation are the conical plates used in
vertical pipelines. A flat plate in a vertical pipeline
Self-draining vertical plates
placed horizontally is not self-draining, a conical
plate pointing down is self draining.
Available from ½ ” through 6”

PTFE or Tuf-Flex is not possible in a Smart Gasket
The Smart Gasket® is twice as thick as a standard
1, 2, 3 or 4 ports configuration
gasket and therefore it requires a special stainless
steel clamp. The clamp is available with the same
amount of slots/ports as the gasket itself.
4 port clamp
Tuf-flex®
Tuf-Flex® the ultimate pharmaceutical gasket, is setting new standards for purity, performance, flexibility and
is the world’s first unitized gasket. A Tuf-Flex® gasket’s contact surface is PTFE unitized to an EPDM rubber
inner core. This totally bonded construction provides the inert, non-stick benefits of PTFE with the memory of
an elastomeric gasket without fear or risk of pigmentation or spalling. Designed to meet critical requirements in
biopharmaceutical, ultra-pure water, WFI and difficult aseptic processing applications. Tuf-Flex® extended service
life increases up-time by outperforming other gaskets by eliminating costly process interruptions.

Tuf-Steel®
Tuf-Steel® a Rubberfab innovation, is composed of a unique proprietary blend of non-pigmented PTFE and
316L passivated and atomized stainless steel. Testing and many years of documented application usage has
demonstrated that Tuf-Steel is the choice for perfect surface performance, outstanding durability, extended
service life, and increased up-time in both SIP and WFI applications. Tuf-Steel® is ideal for sanitary steam and
extreme temperature processes. Especially when large temperature fluctuations are present Tuf-Steel® will
eliminate the need for re-torque clamps. The gasket will move with the temperature and will maintain sealing
capabilities, no more leaks. The superior strength of Tuf-Steel® minimizes creep and cold flow providing a
leak-free seal.

Ultrapharma is introducing the Trade Mark ”Steam-Flon®” for their so called ”Tuf-Steel” products in
DIN32676 and ISO1127 and special products. Tuf-Steel® is a registered Trade Name of Rubberfab Inc and is
a well known gasket material with an extremely good reputation. This material is the best choice in a clean
steam environment, no more leaks, no more cold flow, the everlasting seal.
Ultrapharma is manufacturer of the DIN32676 and ISO1127 gaskets and required to develop their own
compound for this material which we call Steam-Flon®. This is the reason why we cannot call the DIN & ISO
gaskets Tuf-Steel®.
The two materials are identical in performance and have similar Biological Compliance.

Pressure Gauge
A year ago we introduced the 3/4” MINI TC Single
Use PTFE pressure gauge. Right after that we
continued our development with this concept for the
1” Tri-Clamp version. In the meantime we learned
that this pressure gauge is not only suitable for
single use applications but has a much longer life
expectance than initially thought. During testing in
a Steaming In Place (SIP) environment we learned
that the PTFE gauge can withstand this procedure
without any problem. Multiple SIP cycles (40x) have
been conducted @ 135°C ~ 5 hour exposure.
Both the 3/4” and the 1” TC version show no
degradation.
A perfect solution for non metallic systems. The
gauge is liquid filled, we therefore recommend to
use a Gauge Guard Isolator (GGI) to prevent any
liquid to enter your system in case of a breakdown of
the gauge membrane.
Ultrapharma recommends to use non metallic
clamps for our PTFE gauges.

Snap-On gaskets
A simple way to identify products is to introduce a
color. There are many reasons why process engineers
like to identify products by color.
• To identify dedicated product lines
• To identify consumable products when
exchanged during maintenance
• To identify a specific size gasket
White silicone
The Snap-On gaskets that we have developed has
several features build in. It has a high temperature
resistant colored plastic ring on the outside. It has
a validated elastomer on the inside. It also has a
compression limiter build in. It has three gaps to
allow easy dismantling. It is designed with three lips
on the side so you can Snap it On easily and doesn´t
fall off the ferrule.
EPDM
Preventing over compression
Over compression is the biggest problem in this
industry. Most commonly used elastomers gaskets
are already broken even before they are being used.
The plastic ring is slightly thinner than the elastomer
inside, resulting in the perfect compression when
clamped between two ferrules. The plastic ring
prevents over compression.

validated in your plant!)

Torque Knob
Over compression is the biggest problem
experienced in this industry. Most of the elastomers
gaskets are already damaged even before they are
being used. Think about the life expectance of a
gasket that is over compressed.
Each rubber has certain mechanical, thermal and
chemical properties that we can rely on when we
choose to use it. As long as we use the rubber within
its boundaries the rubber will perform as expected.
Once we exceed one of these properties the rubber
will basically fail. High temperature as well as wrong
chemical exposure will destroy a gasket. The same
will happen when we over compress a gasket. The
mechanical structure within the rubber represented
by Tear Strength and Tensile Strength will fail. The
internal structure of the rubber will breakdown,
resulting in lower temperature resistance, weaker
chemical resistance and eventually parts of the
rubber will break out and end up in your system.
Why does man over compress?
• We don´t know!
• People think the gasket will leak, therefore we
turn the wing nut extra
• Users were told to turn the wing nut as far as
they could
• The manufacturer has not provided sufficient
information
The Torque-Knob prevents over compression by
setting a Torque limit. The Torque-Knob is an easy
tool to use. It fits almost all Wing-Nuts depending
All is true. We tested several rubbers and PTFE
on the gasket material you can chose the specific
gaskets and learned that many of them can be

Removable Steam-Flon®
The removable Steam-Flon® gaskets are unique and very useful. The mechanical properties of Steam-Flon®
are perfect in combination with this product because of the low Cold Flow. Virgin PTFE will lose its shape as
soon as it is compressed Steam-Flon® does not. The removable gasket can be dismantled and assembled
after cleaning without any problem. Perfect if a screen need to be regenerate. Orifice plates can be
exchanged rapidly. Sock screens that cannot be supplied with PTFE seal can now be supplied with a SteamFlon® seal.
