Aseptic Fitting Standard

[Vidaman]

I am working on a valve for a pharmaceutical process application and I'm trying to find a design standard for a aseptic fitting seal. The ASME BPE describes a European Hygienic Fitting that looks ideal (Fig SD-2(a)). However, they do not reference a standard. It is basically an o-ring face seal with no inner gland wall.

Can anybody point me to a standard or a manufacturer of such fittings? The ID of the fitting is approximately .160 inch.

Thanks,

Vidaman

I don't have the ASME BPE by hand so I'm not sure about the type of fitting that you refer to. Anyway try browsing the products overview from these suppliers:
