PAUL MUELLER COMPANY Affordable High-Purity Water Storage Water-for-Injection Tanks Mueller WFI tanks are engineered specifically for the special needs of the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. They consist of a Type 316L stainless steel vessel and utilize sanitary clamp style connections, an aseptic manway, and a spray ball for interior sanitization. Chloride-free insulation surrounds the tank’s sides and bottom, which is covered with Type 304 stainless steel outer sheathing. The vessel and all components are fabricated to the requirements of ASME Section VIII, Division 1. Standard tank...

Components Vessel. The ASME Code stamped WFI vessel has a rating of 40 psig and full vacuum at 300°F. Interior surfaces are mechanically polished to 25 Ra maximum and then electropolished (BPE SF6) to maintain optimum sanitary conditions. Exterior surfaces are 2B or mill finish with welds buffed. Mechanically polished material and/or flush ground weld finishes are available options. Aseptic Manway. The 18" hinged opening meets cGMPs standards for validation ease. It has an EPDM O-ring seal and is made of Type 316L stainless steel to match the vessel. It may be centered on top of the vessel...

PAUL MUELLER COMPANY Material and Weld Finishes Material Finishes Mueller products can be fabricated with any of the following material finish options. These designations apply to stainless steel sheet, plate, pipe, and bar. Types and Descriptions Hot Rolled (HR). Rough, dull surface appearance. Most scale removed by pickling. Applies to all steel plate thicknesses above 1 ⁄4". Also available in 7 gauge and 1 ⁄4". Specify where surface finish is a low priority. 2B Mill Finish (2B). A smooth, bright, moderately reflective finish suitable for “as is” specifications or as a preliminary finish...

Weld Finishes While it is possible to grind and polish every weld on a piece of equipment, in many cases it is not necessary or practical. The following describes the various weld finishes that are available from Mueller and, where applicable, the appropriate use of the finish. Types and Descriptions As-Is (AI). Characterized by fine spatter and smoke and weld discoloration. Tack welds, start-stop areas, and severe spatter are ground as required for nondestructive examination of the weld and weld area. Course Grind (No. 2) Industrial Sandblast (SB). Uniform, dull gray appearance to match...

Temp-Plate® Heat Transfer Surface Mueller Temp-Plate heat transfer surface provides precise, consistent control capability with minimum pressure drop. Its design provides extremely efficient heat transfer performance that is more economical than other competitive types of heat transfer surface. Temp-Plate has spot-welded and inflated channels that induce the fluid turbulence necessary to attain high heat transfer coefficients. Lower flow rates are essential to achieve the high velocities of heating and cooling media. Half-Pipe Coil Heat Transfer Surface Mueller half-pipe coil heat transfer...
