Bends

Transporting process fluids by pipe often requires alterations in the line of flow. Key criteria for problem-free operation include strength and durability.

To provide maximum structural integrity and trouble-free flow, Alfa Laval manufacturing processes feature unusually tight tolerances along with uniform wall thicknesses, with all the angles exact and all tube, bend and tee connections uniform. A wide range of finishes, including matt, raw, bright and polished, is available.

Unions, clamp fittings and flanges

All Alfa Laval flanges and clamp fittings are designed for easy, rapid maintenance. Flanges and clamps with finger nuts are especially suited for processes in which the load on seals is extra high, where the easy checking and replacement of seals is important and where effective cleaning is required.

To supply the type of seal most appropriate for each particular process, Alfa Laval provides a wide range of options. These include seals made of nitrile rubber (NBR), fluorine rubber (FBR) and ethylene propylene (EPDM).

Unions are available to provide compliance with standards that include SMS, ISO, BS, IDF, DS, DIN and ASME.

Reducers

Reducers are used to connect tubes or pipes with different sizes or shapes. The stresses involved at these key points means reducers are often a prime location for leakages in a flow stream.

Alfa Laval reducers feature cylindrical welding ends and uniform wall thicknesses for all tube combinations, ensuring the right diameter and wall thickness for each specific flow stream.

Tees

In applications that involve fluid handling, different flow streams often have to be merged using tee pipes.

Alfa Laval manufactures tees with uniform wall thickness, tight tolerances and a wide selection of different finishes, to ensure the greatest possible strength and long service live, as well as problem-free welding and assembly. Alfa Laval tees are all made of AISI 304 or AISI 316L stainless steel and are available in 1–4-inch diameters and from DN10 to DN150.

Wide range of surface finishes

Alfa Laval fittings are available with a wide range of surface finishes. Mechanical polishing uses a progressive series of abrasives – from coarse to fine grit – to produce a consistent internal finish that supports effective yet economical cleaning. 

Tubes

The Alfa Laval ranges of hygienic tubes help ensure the best possible levels of hygiene within any installation. The tubes are specially manufactured to provide maximum hygiene integrity in ultra-clean processes. Each range is also designed and manufactured to ensure dimensional accuracy and structural integrity, making them easy to install. It also makes sure that Alfa Laval tubes provide users with superior corrosion-resistance and unmatched service life.
