ASME BPE stainless steel fittings are a type of fittings specifically designed for the bioprocessing and pharmaceutical industries, with standards developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). These pipe fittings have high hygiene standards and strict manufacturing requirements, and are widely used in situations with high hygiene requirements.

Material and surface treatment
The material of ASME BPE stainless steel fittings usually includes stainless steel such as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. There are various surface treatment methods, including AP/BA/MP/EP, etc. The inner surface smoothness ranges from Ra<0.375 μ m to Ra<1.6 μ m

application area 
ASME BPE stainless steel fittings are widely used in industries with high hygiene requirements, such as biological processing equipment, pharmaceutical equipment, and personal care product production. They play a critical role in equipment that comes into contact with products, raw materials, and product media during production, improvement, and scaling up processes, such as injection water systems, clean steam systems, filtration systems, and media storage systems

Manufacturing standards and testing
The ASME BPE standard has strict requirements for the manufacturing of pipe fittings, including materials, dimensions, tolerances, surface treatment, and other aspects. All pipe fittings and process components need to undergo strict testing to ensure they meet high hygiene standards. In addition, the pipe fittings undergo solution treatment during the manufacturing process to eliminate internal stress, enhance the corrosion resistance and dimensional stability of the material
