SOLD INDIVIDUALLY

Rubber Fab’s Tuf-Steel Sanitary Tri-Clamp Gaskets are the material of choice when purity, long service life, performance, chemical resistance, and heat resistance are required. Tuf-Steel Gaskets are 100% leak free when torqued correctly, and will experience minimum creep and cold flow. The Tuf-Steel material is a unique proprietary blend of non-pigmented PTFE (Teflon) and 316L Stainless Steel that has been water atomized and passivated. The end result is a Tuf-Steel Gasket that is non-stick, features no pigmentation, and has ultra-low absorption rates. These Tri-Clamp Gaskets can maintain seal integrity under large temperature fluctuations with a serviceable temperature range from -350F to 550F. We recommend the use of the Torque-Rite Clamp Nut to get the most out of these gaskets.

Tuf-Steel is the original metal detectable gasket, the material has always been detectable with metal detectors and magnetic separators. Over 10 years of testing and documented application usage show that Tuf-Steel is the choice for perfect surface performance, outstanding durability, extended service life and increased up-time for both SIP (steam in place) and WFI (water for injection) applications. Tuf-Steel Gaskets are ideal for sanitary steam and extreme temperature processes, especially fryer and hot oil applications. Unlike envelope gaskets, the superior strength of the Tuf-Steel blend will not revert, eliminating creep and cold flow, providing a leak-free seal.
