SMS FITTINGS

SMS fittings are a type of hygienic stainless steel pipe coupling widely used in Europe and the UK for industries requiring stringent cleanliness standards. They are identifiable by their round slotted nut and provide a smooth, crevice-free internal bore. 

Key Information

  • Standard: SMS fittings are manufactured to the Swedish Standard SMS 1145.
  • Material: Wetted parts (male part and liner) are typically made from grade 316 or 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, while the round nut is made from 304 stainless steel.
  • Components: A complete SMS union consists of four main parts: a round slotted nut, a male part, a liner and a unique square or L-section gasket seal.
  • Seal Materials: The captive seal design uses various materials to suit different applications, including EPDM (standard), Nitrile, Viton® (FKM), and PTFE. Metal-detectable versions are also available.

Features and Benefits

  • Hygienic Design: The captive seal design ensures a smooth, crevice-free internal bore, minimising areas where bacteria can accumulate. This makes them highly suitable for Clean In Place (CIP) systems.
  • Robust Connection: The round slotted nut allows for a secure, high-pressure connection that is designed for permanent or seldom-dismantled pipeline sections.

Ease of Disassembly: They offer the advantage of being able to remove adjacent pipe sections without disturbing other joints, which aids maintenance flexibility.
