Description
Built to withstand high-pressure environments, our 1 to 1 1/2 inch high pressure clamp is a sanitary, 304 stainless steel clamp designed for high-purity connections in the food processing, brewing, industrial, and pharmaceutical industries.
With a higher pressure rating, this double-bolted clamp can be used for demanding applications and excels in providing a strong and durable connection. It is used to connect two tri-clamp ends together with a tight, leak-free seal. A tri-clamp gasket should be used to ensure proper fitting.
High pressure clamps are sometimes called high pressure tri-clovers or high pressure tri-clamps.
Pressure rating based on tightening wing nut to 20 ft. lb. of torque.
Uses:

304 vs. 316L Stainless Steel
304 and 316L stainless steels appear visually identical, but have distinct performance characteristics.
304 stainless steel contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it suitable for kitchen applications and indoor environments. It performs well under normal conditions but becomes vulnerable to corrosion when exposed to salt or harsh chemicals. This makes it the more economical option for standard uses where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.
316L stainless steel contains 2-3% molybdenum in addition to chromium and nickel, providing superior corrosion resistance, especially against saltwater and chemicals. Furthermore, 316L has a lower carbon content than 316, increasing corrosion resistance and making it ideal for welding. While it commands a higher price point than 304, it is recommended for outdoor marine environments and food processing applications involving salt.
304 is useful for some standard applications, but for the highest level of durability and harsh environments or saltwater exposure, the additional investment in 316L stainless steel is justified for long-term success.
