BSM CIP Flat Face Liner

BSM CIP flat face liners are essential components used in CIP (Clean-In-Place) union assemblies to provide a flat, hygienic sealing face and ensure correct alignment of the union connection. They form part of sanitary process pipework systems where cleanliness, reliable sealing, and ease of cleaning are critical to safe and efficient operation. By creating a smooth, flat interface at the union face, these liners help support effective sealing and minimise crevices where product residue or bacteria could accumulate.

Flat face liners are commonly used in food and beverage processing, dairy operations, brewing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other hygienic industries that rely on CIP systems for regular cleaning and sanitisation. In these environments, maintaining a clean internal surface profile and consistent joint alignment is essential for meeting hygiene standards and ensuring repeatable cleaning results. The liner helps position the seal correctly within the union, promoting even compression and dependable leak resistance during operation.

Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, BSM CIP flat face liners offer excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Grade 316 contains molybdenum, which significantly improves resistance to chlorides, cleaning chemicals, and aggressive wash-down conditions compared with standard stainless grades. This makes the liners well suited for frequent exposure to hot water, steam, detergents, and sanitising agents commonly used in CIP and wash-down processes.

The smooth stainless steel surface finish supports hygienic performance by reducing product build-up and simplifying cleaning. When used as part of a complete CIP union assembly—including the union nut and compatible seal—the flat face liner contributes to a secure, hygienic, and repeatable connection that can be easily disassembled for inspection or maintenance if required.

BSM CIP flat face liners are available in a range of standard sizes to suit common CIP union dimensions. To ensure proper fit, sealing performance, and system compatibility, select the liner size that matches your CIP union size.
