Thermal Expansion in Sanitary Process Tubing Thermal expansion is easy to overlook because stainless sanitary tubing feels rigid and “fixed” once it’s installed. But when a line heats up during SIP, hot water sanitizing, steam exposure, or even warm product... keep reading
Sample Valves
Steel & O’Brien SVN, EVN, and INN type sample valves are specifically designed to be the optimum product sampling solution in the industry. With superior engineering and quality, these sample valves offer exclusive performance benefits not found in other alternatives. SVN, EVN, and INN sample valves were developed with pharmaceutical and sanitary standards in mind, which is reflected in design aspects such as drainability and product contact geometries.
Right-angle concentric (SVN) models are available in ½” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes, right-angle eccentric (EVN) models are available in 1” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes, and Inline (INN) models are available in in ½” – 4” sanitary clamp inlet sizes.

Sanitary Surface Finish Explained: Ra Values, Cleanability, and Compliance
Why sanitary surface finish matters In hygienic processing, surface finish is not about looks. It is about how easily a surface releases product, cleans during CIP, and resists microbial attachment over time. The smoother the wetted surface, the fewer places... keep reading
