scope:

These standards cover the sanitary aspects of inline devices which use a combination of a rotor and a stator to effect mixing and size reductions for liquids, slurries, and liquid-gas mixtures.

The rotor-stator mixer begins at the infeed pipe connection(s) and ends at the exit pipe fitting and includes all equipment in between.

In order to conform to the 3-A Sanitary Standards, rotor-stator inline mixers, (Referred hereinafter as "inline mixers") shall conform to the following design, material and fabrication criteria and the applicable documents referenced herein.¹

¹ Use current revisions or editions of all referenced documents cited herein.
