A sanitary adapter is a mechanical connection that allows you to change the end configuration of a pipe while meeting sanitary requirements. They are used in a variety of industries, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech, to connect sanitary components to industrial components. 
Sanitary adapters are typically made of stainless steel and held together with hygienic clamps and a gasket to create a smooth seal. They are designed to be removable and easily cleaned, either by dismantling the system or using a Clean in Place (CIP) process
