Rubberfab's Smart Gasket Tecknologies allow for the use of a Smart Gasket as a sample port and a point to measure fluid temperatures as part of process validation or monitoring. Luer-Lock Fittings are provided to work effectively with the Smart Gasket for either introducing a sample to a process stream or retreiving a sample of it. Temperature probes and meters provide either temporary or permanent temperature measuring points through a Triclamp connection as needed for cleaning, sterilization, or any other temperature monitoring need.
