The Materials of Construction Webinar is presented by Gabe Miller, the 3-A SSI Certified Conformance Evaluator (CCE). The speaker gives an overview of the materials of construction, including metals and non-metals, provides a classification of the hygienic properties of materials, provides a wide array of examples of common failures of metals, plastics and elastomers, and classifies surface finishes and treatment methods.
Pete Barrie, Sr. Product Manager with Sani-Matic demonstrates how the provisions of the ANSI/3-A Sanitary Standard for General Requirements and 3-A CIP Accepted Practices can be applied to the Clean Out-of-Place Equipment.
Geir Moe of the Nickel Institute describes the requirements for the welding of austenitic stainless steel tube and pipe systems in conformance to American Welding Society requirements contained in the 3-A SSI General Requirements.
Certified Conformance Evaluator Gabriel Miller describes the critical role of surface finish requirements for equipment across all 3-A Sanitary Standards and he demonstrates surface measurement step-by-step using a profilometer. Find out more about the basic hygienic requirements for stainless steel components, welded joints, as well as plastics, and rubber components.
