Dimension of DIN11850 / EN10357 Food Grade Tubing
DIN 11850 (German Standard) and EN 10357 (European Norm) specify austenitic stainless steel seamless and welded tubes for hygienic applications, particularly in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. These standards ensure high cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and smooth surfaces for sanitary processes.
The wall thickness is relatively thin, making it suitable for low-pressure or normal-temperature applications (such as low-pressure conveying in the food and pharmaceutical industries).
Typical applications: Non-corrosive media or low-pressure scenarios
