Hygienic tube for latex-contact lines

Stainless Steel Sanitary Tube

Sanitary welded-tube cargo is commonly specified for wetted, latex-contact and CIP process lines. Quotation review should confirm the applicable sanitary standard, grade, bore finish, surface-roughness requirement, tolerances and inspection documents.
