AS 1528.3 is part of the Australian Standards AS 1528 series, which governs stainless steel tube and tube fittings for the food industry. Specifically:
AS 1528.3 – Tube Fittings for Food Industry
Full title: AS 1528.3: Stainless steel tube and tube fittings for the food industry – Tube fittings
Purpose and Scope
This standard specifies the technical requirements for stainless steel tube fittings used in hygienic and sanitary applications, particularly in industries like:
Dairy
Beverage
Pharmaceutical
Food processing
It ensures fittings are compatible with AS 1528.1 (tubes) and promotes hygiene, safety, and corrosion resistance.
Types of Fittings Covered
AS 1528.3 includes specifications for fittings such as:
Tees
Reducers
Bends (elbows)
Unions
Clamp ferrules
Weld fittings
Adaptors
These fittings must match AS 1528.1 tubes in diameter, wall thickness, and finish.
Technical Features
Material:
Must be stainless steel 316 or equivalent (with optional 304 for some components).
Ensures resistance to corrosion and suitability for CIP (clean-in-place) systems.
Surface Finish:
Internal surface finish typically Ra ≤ 0.8 µm, sometimes ≤ 0.4 µm for higher hygiene levels.
Ensures smooth, crevice-free surfaces to minimize bacterial retention.
Dimensions and Tolerances:
Strict control of diameter, thickness, and angular tolerances.
Ensures perfect fit-up for welding or clamping, minimizing crevices.
Marking:
Fittings must be marked with material grade, manufacturer, and AS 1528 compliance.
Testing and Inspection:
Visual inspection and dimensional checks are mandatory.
May include pressure and corrosion resistance testing depending on use case.
Hygienic Design Compliance
The fittings are designed to comply with EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) or 3-A Sanitary Standards, emphasizing:
No dead legs
Clean weld beads
Full drainability
Easy disassembly for cleaning
Benefits of AS 1528.3 Compliance
Assures interchangeability between manufacturers.
Guarantees food safety through hygienic design.
Aligns with international food safety standards.
Simplifies validation and regulatory approval processes.
