Advance Fittings’ BPE/BioPharm fittings meet the tight ASME BPE standards for sanitary and high-purity applications. Our fittings are fully compliant with FDA regulations, GMP guidelines, and USP Class VI requirements.
What are BPE Specifications?
BPE Specifications refer to the set of guidelines established by the ASME BPE (Bioprocessing Equipment) committee for components used in the biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries. The goal of these specifications is to confirm that the equipment, including fittings, tubing, and other components, meets the strict criteria for cleanliness, sterility, and dimensional accuracy in high-stakes processing atmospheres.
Key Specifications:
- Dimensional Tolerances: End-to-End and Center-to-End dimensions maintain a strict tolerance of ±0.050 inches.
- Material Thickness & Sizing: Nominal sizes ranging from 1/4″ to 6″ with precise wall thicknesses provide durability and compliance.
- Surface Finishes: Numerous electropolished (EP) and mechanical finishes available, including 10 Ra EP, 15 Ra EP, and 20 Ra EP, with standard OD finish at 32 Ra.
- Control Portion Tangent Tolerances: Our control portions adhere to industry-standard tangent tolerances. Exceptions apply to certain components, including ATW Caps, Short Weld Ferrules, and ATW Short Reducers.
Advance Fittings is devoted to delivering precision-engineered BPE fittings that support the needs of vital sanitary applications. Our BPE/BioPharm solutions are made to meet the highest standards of purity, performance, and compliance.
