2" Viton Tri Clamp 20 Mesh
These Viton screen gaskets are a practical purchase for anyone doing closed
loop BHO extractions as these gaskets are food grade and recognized as safe
and sanitary.
Viton is capable of withstanding high temperatures while retaining its good
mechanical properties, and is better at it than most other elastomers. The oil
and chemical resistance are virtually unaffected by elevated temperatures, and
the compounds remain relatively elastic up to temperatures of 400F (204C) and
down -40F (-40C).
The mesh screen is made from 316 stainless steel. The stainless steel mesh
screen supports a temperature up to 400F. The screen is woven, it can be
rolled, bent and put back in place with your bare hands. Screen gaskets are
great for using with an oil extractor, as it keeps the plant matter from
entering your final product.
Remember, when sizing the mesh screen for your filtration that the higher the
number mesh the more strands per inch, i.e. 150=150 strands across 1 inch.
**DETERMINING TRI CLAMP SIZE**
Tri Clamp sizes are determined by the outer diameter of the pipe or tubing,
not the outer diameter of the flange or Tri Clamp itself. The flange of a Tri
Clamp fitting typically has about a ?? inch greater diameter than the outside
diameter of the pipe. This can become especially confusing when the Tri Clamp
fitting has no pipe attached to it, as is the case with adapters, For
instance, a [1.5" Tri Clamp to 1/2" hose barb
adapter](https://triclamp.co/products/tri-clamp-to-hose-barb-
adapter?variant=30851417554) is not 1.5" inches in any dimension, but the Tri
Clamp end will fit any other 1.5" Tri Clamp fitting.
If you have any doubts about what size Tri Clamp fittings your project needs,
simply measure the outside diameter of the flange (dimension "B" below) and
consult the chart below, or feel free to [contact
