AS 1528.3:2019 PDF

This Standard specifies dimensional, material and hygienic requirements for butt weld tubular fittings including bends, tees, reducers, y-sections and crosses, for incorporation in tube lines for food processing and hygienic applications.

This is Part 3 of a series of Standards for stainless steel tubes and tube fittings for food processing and hygienic applications. The Standards in the series are as follows:

AS 1528.1, Stainless steel tubes and tube fittings for food processing and hygienic applications, Part 1: Tubes

AS 1528.2, Stainless steel tubes and tube fittings for food processing and hygienic applications, Part 2: Screwed tube couplings

AS 1528.3, Stainless steel tubes and tube fittings for food processing and hygienic applications, Part 3: Butt weld tube fittings (this Standard)

AS 1528.4, Stainless steel tubes and tube fittings for food processing and hygienic applications, Part 4: Clamp tube fittings

The revision of the AS 1528 series closely aligns with other national and international Standards applicable to stainless steel tube and tube fittings for hygienic applications, while retaining a number of requirements that were identified in the prefaces to the 2001 editions as lacking in ASTM and ISO Standards.
