SMS seals


The SMS Techné seal complies with the SMS 1149 standard and can only be installed in fittings complying with the SMS 1146/1147 standard (for an 1145 tube).

There are two SMS seal profiles: the R-type SMS seal has a rectangular cross-section, while the L-type SMS seal is flanged. After careful study, Techné can manufacture SMS seals with non-standard dimensions and in other materials.

The SMS R or L section fitting seal is mainly used in the food industry.

A complete fitting consists of a threaded nose, a connector tube, a nut and an SMS R or L seal.
