TC Ferrule Buttweld
What are TC Ferrule Buttwelds?
TC Ferrule Buttweld fittings are precision-engineered sanitary fittings used to connect pipelines in hygienic and high-purity applications. Designed with a tri-clamp (TC) ferrule end and a butt-weld connection, they ensure a secure, leak-proof joint while maintaining smooth flow and easy disassembly for cleaning or maintenance.
Asiad Steel Industries manufactures and exports high-quality TC Ferrule Buttweld fittings under the Racer brand, ensuring precision, durability, and compliance with international sanitary standards such as ASME BPE and DIN 11850.
