TC Gasket
What are TC Gaskets
A TC Gasket (Tri-Clamp Gasket) is a vital sealing component used in hygienic piping systems to ensure leak-proof connections between two TC ferrules. Positioned between ferrules and held tightly using a clamp, the gasket ensures a secure, sanitary seal for high-purity applications.
These gaskets are widely applied across dairy, pharmaceutical, food processing, beverage, and biotech industries where cleanliness and sterility are critical.
Asiad Steel Industries is a trusted TC Gasket supplier, offering high-performance gaskets engineered for reliable, contamination-free sealing in demanding environments.

Do you have questions?
What is the purpose of a TC Gasket?
A TC Gasket provides a hygienic, leak-proof seal between two Tri-Clamp ferrules, ensuring sanitary conditions in process piping.
Why are TC gaskets important in sanitary processing systems?
TC gaskets help maintain a contamination-free, leak-proof seal in hygienic piping systems, making them essential in regulated industries like pharma and food.
How do I choose the right TC gasket size?
TC gaskets are selected based on your ferrule size and application requirements. Our team at Asaid Steel Industries can assist you with the right fit and standard.
Are TC gaskets reusable?
While they can be reused in some conditions, it's best practice to replace them periodically, especially in critical sanitary applications.
