1 a270 sanitary StainlessSteel TubingFor Dairy, Food, Beverage, andOther sanitary ProcessesRathGibson s sanitary tubing exceedsASTM a270 S2 and 3A specificationsand most user specifications. It ismanufactured from the finest qualitystainless steel materials madeexclusively to the RathGibson meltcriteria and formed by the RathGibsonMicro-Weld process to assure weldseam integrity and industry leadingID & OD finishes to the low Ravalues demanded by RathGibson scustomers. RathGibson leads theindustry in manufacturing the highestquality welded sanitary tubing ,backed with technical expertise,advanced manufacturing andpolishing capabilities and unmatchedservice before and after the standard sanitary tubing sizesare available in 1/2" ( mm) to8" ( mm) OD in 20' ( m) :Layout 1 9/5/08 2:56 PM Page 1 Materials 304L & 316L available from TestsTo ensure the highest surface quality in all ofour sanitary tubing , RathGibson goes beyondthe requirements of ASTM A269 and a270 byperforming the full battery of ASTM bend anddeformation tests required by ASME SA249 aswell as additional deformation tests developedby RathGibson.

2 The tests, combined withspecific raw material requirements, eddycurrent testing at the tube mill, and tighterOD and wall tolerances allow RathGibsonto provide a more consistent superiorquality Hydrogen bright annealed in line to 1900 F(1040 C) minimum and rapidly Finishes*Surface finish is 20 -in Ra ( m) IDmaximum, 30 -in Ra ( m) OD maximumsurface roughness measured per with the profilometer reading at90 degrees to major polishing s polishing techniques result insurface finishes that lead the industry. Alltubing is printed with size, gauge, alloy, ASTMand ASME specifications, heat number anddate of manufacturing for full a final step in maintaining puritystandards, RathGibson s a270 S2 tubing ispackaged using protective 2 mil poly sleevingalong with air tight plastic end caps. Thetubing is then placed in triple wall boxes formaximum protection during shipment.
