Product catalog summary
Comparison of Features
Ultra High Purity (UHP) and High Purity (HP) applications are compared based on several features. UHP uses orbital welded connections, is dead space free, and has a leakage rate of ≤ 10-11 mbar × l/s, supporting vacuum up to 10-9 mbar. It has an internal roughness of ≤ 0.25 µm and operates up to 500 bar. HP uses compression ferrule unions, has low dead space, a leakage rate of ≤ 10-9 mbar × l/s, supports vacuum up to 10-7 mbar, and has an internal roughness of ≤ 0.8 µm, operating up to 250 bar.

Ultra High Purity Specifications
UHP components include union nuts made from Nitronic®60, weld-on nipples, and bodies made from SS 1.4404, all electropolished. They are lubricant-free, have abrasion-free threads, and are designed to be dead space free. They are traceable and easy to install with a radial mounting system.

High Purity Specifications
HP components feature union nuts and compression ferrules made from SS 1.4571, with internal silver-plating and PTFE or silver-coated sealing surfaces. They are also lubricant-free and designed with low dead space. They offer traceability upon request and are easy to install with a radial mounting system.

Applications
Typical applications for SERTO SELECTION include vacuum applications, biotechnology, semiconductors, laser technology, and more. The cleanliness of components is crucial, and the use of lubricant-free stainless steel unions is emphasized.

Design and Installation
The SERTO SELECTION union consists of a union body, weld-on nipple (UHP), or compression ferrule (HP) and a union nut. The design allows for space-saving installation and easy mounting/dismounting. The components are coated with silver or PTFE, acting as a seal and dry lubricant.

Cleaning and Packaging
All parts undergo a multi-stage cleaning process and are vacuum-packed in an ISO Class 8 certified clean room. The packaging uses lint-free plastic boxes.

Bending and Welding
Advanced bending techniques and orbital welding are used to ensure high-quality, internally electropolished stainless steel tubes. Bended tubes offer fewer leakage points and cost benefits compared to welded tubes.

Radial union principle The SERTO SELECTION union consists of three components: a union body, the weld-on nipple (UHP) or the compression ferrule (HP) and the union nut. The flat sealing surfaces are pressed against each other when the nut is installed. You can therefore also benefit from the radial mounting/dismounting in this range of products. The modern orbital welding system is used to connect the tubes with the UHP components. Lubricant-free connections The flat sealing surfaces of the weld-on nipples (UHP) and compression ferrules (HP) are coated with silver or PTFE. This coating acts as...

Cleaning system All parts undergo a multi-stage process in several cleaning and rinsing baths in the cleaning system. They are placed in special racks for protection and to ensure flawless sealing surfaces. The cleaning process corresponds to the SERTO standard no. XDC-AA140-0158. In the adjacent ISO Class 8 certified clean room, the SERTO SELECTION components are vacuum-packed individually and double packed in plastic bags. Delivery Lint-free plastic boxes are used for the outer packaging.

Bending and welding tubes Bending excellence The use of different bending procedures and techniques, the ultra-modern 10-axis bending centres and many years of experience make it possible to bend virtually all geometries, and that includes the bending of internally electropolished stainless steel tubes. The recommended bending radius for electropolished tubes is ≥ 2d. Orbital welding excellence Orbital welding of tubes or of entire assemblies is also part of the range of in-house services provided by SERTO. The welding is carried out automatically with a supply of added inert gas with residual...

Cleaning and assembling tubes The benefits of bended tubes In the test laboratory, bended tubes were compared with tubes equipped with welded fittings. Bended tubes have fewer potential leakage areas and exhibit a reduced drop in pressure in the media flow. Furthermore, they also provide clear cost benefits compared to welded tubes as fewer parts are needed. An external testing laboratory has confirmed that there is no increased susceptibility to corrosion in the bending area. Cleaning Pre-assembled and ready-to-install tubes are flow cleaned. Application-specific formulations define the use...
