Ferrules are commonly used in sanitary fittings to provide a secure and leak-proof connection between pipes or tubing and the fitting. In the context of sanitary fittings, such as those used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries, ferrules are typically made of stainless steel.

Here's how ferrules are used in sanitary fittings:

• Tubing preparation: The ends of the tubing or pipe are typically cut cleanly and deburred to ensure a smooth surface.
• Insertion: The tubing is inserted into the fitting, with the ferrule placed over the tubing end. The ferrule is typically a small, cylindrical ring with a tapered or chamfered end.
• Compression: The fitting is tightened, compressing the ferrule between the tubing and the fitting body. This compression causes the ferrule to deform, creating a tight seal and preventing leaks. The amount of compression required depends on the specific fitting design and the manufacturer's instructions.
• Secure connection: The ferrule provides a secure grip on the tubing, holding it in place within the fitting. This ensures that the tubing does not come loose or disconnect under pressure or during operation.
• Easy disassembly: One of the advantages of using ferrules in sanitary fittings is that they allow for easy disassembly and reassembly. By loosening the fitting, the ferrule can be released, allowing the tubing to be removed or replaced as needed.

Ferrules used in sanitary fittings are designed to meet specific standards and regulations for hygiene, cleanliness, and durability. They are often made of high-quality stainless steel, such as 304 or 316L, which offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in sanitary applications.

Overall, ferrules play a critical role in ensuring the integrity and reliability of sanitary fittings by creating a tight and leak-free connection between pipes or tubing and the fitting body.
