ASTM F859-15 PDF Download

For multiple-tank, conveyor-rack commercial dishwashing machines, ASTM F859-15 is the standard specification. The specification offers particular guidelines for how these devices must be built, run, and function.

Based on the direction from which the soiled tableware is fed, the standard distinguishes between two types of machines: Type I accepts feeding from the right side, whereas Type II accepts feeding from the left side. Additionally, these machines come in four different styles: steam-heated, electrically heated, gas-heated, and pre-wash units.

According to the standard, the machines are also divided into many classes based on features such as injectors, heat exchange coils, and the type of gas used (natural gas or LP gas). The ASTM F859-15 standard specifies the standards for construction, electrical, steam, and gas equipment, lubrication, treatment, painting, and performance.
