2. Standard Part Number System (PU10-ØD-CL)

Specify your exact replacement sleeve using our standardized ordering code:

PU10 - [Diameter ØD] - [Length CL]

  • PU10: 1.0 mm clear polyether TPU
  • ØD: Seating diameter in mm (20 standard sizes)
  • CL: Installed face-to-face length in mm (100 to 1000 mm)

Example: PU10-204-300 defines a Ø204 mm diameter connector with a 300 mm installed length.

20 Standard Diameters (ØD)

  • Small / Filling (4" to 8"): Ø102 mm · Ø152 mm · Ø159 mm · Ø204 mm
  • Medium / Screeners (8" to 14"): Ø219 mm · Ø254 mm · Ø273 mm · Ø304 mm · Ø325 mm · Ø354 mm
  • Large / Hoppers & Silos (15" to 32"): Ø377 mm · Ø404 mm · Ø454 mm · Ø504 mm · Ø554 mm · Ø604 mm · Ø654 mm · Ø704 mm · Ø754 mm · Ø804 mm

19 Standard Lengths (CL)

(20 Diameters × 19 Lengths = 380 standard combinations. Custom lengths and transitions are CNC-cut to the exact millimeter with zero tooling fees.)

3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the maximum operating pressure for PU-10?

PU-10 handles up to +0.35 bar (+5.0 psi) positive pressure and down to −50 mbar (−0.7 psi) negative pressure. For deep vacuum lines, specify our polymer-ring reinforced PU-10-VR sleeve (rated to −1000 mbar).

Q2: Is PU-10 certified for direct food contact?

Yes. It complies with US FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 under independent laboratory test report TQT4821B36E, is 100% phthalate-free, and meets European Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 migration standards.

Q3: Will this connector trigger inline metal detectors?

No. The spring-steel locking band is housed inside high-frequency welded exterior cuffs, entirely outside the product flow path. The contact bore is 100% metal-free.

Q4: How is PU-10 cleaned?

It is fully suitable for standard washdown and warm water CIP. For aggressive daily caustic CIP washdowns at 80–85 °C, we recommend our specialized PUCR10 chemical-grade sleeve.

Q5: How do I choose between PU-10 and PU-15?

PU-10 (1.0 mm) is the standard choice for 85% of powder screening and chute connections. PU-15 (1.5 mm) is specified when handling sharp, heavy, or abrasive materials (such as raw minerals, sugar crystals, or dried pet food kibble).
