Biobore Asme BPE Tube And Fittings
- SURFACE FINISH
Choice of mechanical finish and electro polished finish on I.D. The finish on O.D. is available to suit customers requirements either Mill finish or sateen polished.
- See table below for surface finish designations for tube and fittings.

- ASME BPE
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers have developed a standard for Tubing and Fittings used in the Pharmaceutical Industry (ASME Bioprocessing Equipment). This covers all aspects of the manufacturing process including finishes, tolerances and dimensions.
- ISO QUALITY SYSTEM
To ensure that we constantly maintain the standards stated our manufacturing and Quality System conforms to ISO 9001-2015.
SFL have a continual commitment to quality and the system is audited internally and externally.
- PRODUCT RANGE
Product range covers sizes from 1/4” O.D. to 6” O.D. in tubing, weld end fittings suitable for orbital welding and clamp ended fittings.
- DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES
Tolerances on weld ended products are suitable for closed head orbital welding. Tolerances on squareness and wall thickness
comply with ASME BPE.
- CONTROLLED CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
All contact parts are manufactured from T316L quality materials. Sulphur is controlled at weld point to 0.005% minimum and 0.017% maximum to ensure good quality orbital welds. Part of our Quality Control is to check that the raw materials purchased conform to the Chemical Analysis stated on the Material Certificate, this is carried out by an independent laboratory.
- TRACEABILITY
All materials are traceable back to the original Material Certificates. To ensure full traceability SFL mark all T316L products with an internal reference number in addition to their cast/heat number.
- MARKINGS
All products are marked with cast/heat number, internal reference number number and SFL logo.
- PACKAGING
Tubing is supplied with ends capped and sleeved in polythene, end heat sealed. Fittings are capped and heat sealed in polythene.
