Is the Plug with GW BSP, PVDF, 3F Series compatible with media at 10 bar and common laboratory chemicals?

Yes. The Plug with GW BSP, PVDF, 3F Series is compatible with media at up to 10 bar and with common laboratory chemicals. The PVDF body combined with an FKM (Viton®-type) gasket provides excellent chemical resistance and temperature stability, and the product is specified for a working pressure up to 10 bar, making it suitable for typical lab, medical, pharmaceutical and chemical applications where those conditions apply. Always confirm compatibility with any highly aggressive or specialty chemicals by checking PVDF and FKM resistance data for the specific media and temperature involved.

Can the Plug with GW BSP, PVDF, 3F Series be sterilized without damaging the FKM gasket or PVDF body?

Plug with GW BSP, PVDF, 3F Series: Yes — but with precautions. The PVDF body is chemically and thermally robust and tolerates common sterilization methods (autoclaving, steam, chemical sterilants) within typical industrial ranges. However, the gasket in PVDF versions is FKM (fluoroelastomer), which has good chemical and temperature resistance but lower maximum continuous temperatures and different chemical compatibilities than PVDF. To avoid damaging the FKM gasket: - Keep sterilization temperatures within FKM limits (typically ≤200–220°C short term; preferred autoclave cycles at 121°C–134°C are generally safe but verify specific FKM grade limits). - Avoid prolonged exposure to strong polar solvents or aggressive decontaminants that attack FKM (check chemical compatibility for the specific sterilant). - Inspect gaskets after repeated cycles for hardening, swelling, cracking or loss of elasticity and replace as needed. - When in doubt, confirm with the gasket supplier/manufacturer for the exact FKM compound used and validate your sterilization protocol with compatibility testing. In summary: the PVDF body tolerates standard sterilization; the FKM gasket usually does too if sterilization conditions and chemicals are compatible and cycles are monitored.
