The product:

This product comprises several (zip) files available for download upon payment. Upon completion of your purchase, you'll promptly receive email links to access these files within minutes. There's no need to hurry; your files will remain accessible, allowing for multiple downloads at your convenience.

Once you download and unzip the files, you'll have a complete 3D CAD library right at your fingertips...

STEP files:

The files in this 3D CAD collection are stored in the STEP (.stp) file format.

STEP files store 3D geometry, as well as additional information such as product structure, tolerances, materials, and other metadata. They allow different CAD software systems to exchange information seamlessly, facilitating collaboration and interoperability between different design tools.

Here are some 3D CAD programs that work well with the STEP file format:

1. Solidworks
2. Autodesk Inventor
3. Autodesk Fusion
4. CATIA
5. Siemens NX (formerly known as Unigraphics)
6. PTC Creo (formerly known as Inigraphics)
7. Solid Edge
8. AutoCAD Mechanical
9. FreeCAD
10. Onshape

DIN-EN Hygienic fittings
DIN-EN Hygienic fittings play a crucial role in maintaining sanitary conditions in food and beverage processing industries. These fittings comply with the standards set by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German organization responsible for defining technical standards across various industries. In the context of food and beverage processing, these standards ensure that the equipment and fittings meet stringent hygiene requirements to prevent contamination and ensure the safety of consumable products.

Key features of DIN Hygienic fittings include:

• Material: They are typically made from high-quality stainless steel, such as AISI 304 or AISI 316L, which are corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.
• Smooth Surface: The fittings have smooth surfaces with minimal crevices or dead spaces where bacteria or contaminants could accumulate. This design feature facilitates thorough cleaning and sanitation.
• Sealing: DIN Hygienic fittings often incorporate specialized sealing materials, such as silicone or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), which are compatible with food-grade applications and provide a secure seal to prevent leaks or ingress of contaminants.
• Hygienic Design: These fittings are designed with hygiene in mind, incorporating features such as sanitary welds, rounded edges, and easily disassembled components for efficient cleaning and maintenance.
• Compatibility: DIN standards ensure compatibility and interchangeability between different components, allowing for flexibility in system design and assembly.

EN 10357 Tube standard

One of the key EN standards related to hygienic fittings is EN 10357 (formerly DIN11850), which specifies dimensions and tolerances for stainless steel tubes for the food and chemical industries.
