What does BS 4825 cover?
Sanitary dairy fittings such as unions, elbows, tees, adapters, and flanges, which are used to connect pipes in piping installations that handle food or other sensitive materials.
Material and design requirements ensuring that dairy fittings are easy to clean and resistant to corrosion, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene levels in food processing and other demanding industries.
Surface treatment requirements, such as polishing, to ensure that fittings have a smooth and non-porous surface that prevents bacterial growth and makes cleaning easier.
What can fittings certified according to BS 4825 be used for?
Ideal for hygienic systems where high ease of cleaning, corrosion resistance, and leak-proof connections are required.
Dairy fittings are used in the food industry, dairy industry, beverage production, and pharmaceutical applications where high levels of food safety and quality must be ensured.
What are the benefits of Hygienic Fittings?
Safe solutions for the food industry: Meets hygiene and safety requirements.
Long durability: Stainless steel that resists corrosion and wear.
Easy cleaning and maintenance: Designed to prevent the buildup of bacteria and other contaminants.
Compatibility: Can be used in a variety of applications, from milk processing to the production of cheese and yogurt.
Related Standards: BS 4825
is one of the many standards used to ensure that sanitary fittings meet the
required hygienic standards. There are also international standards such as
ASME BPE and EN 10357, which have similar requirements for fittings in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
