Select The Right Pipes to Ensure Pure Compressed Air Delivery

Pipes used for transporting compressed air are available in a variety of materials such as – plastic, iron and aluminum among others. Materials such as plastic and iron for air piping systems may not always be ideal as the lubricants from the compression process leads to corrosion of such pipes. This contaminates the air stream and results in leaks.

A variety of critical applications using compressed air need high-quality pure air for the end products and the production process. Here piping installations, such as that from AIRnet, which ensure 100% oil-free would play a critical part. Stainless-steel systems ensure 100% oil-free air delivery from the generation to the point of use.

A few industries have stringent requirements like Pharmaceutical, Hospitals, Research labs, Clean Room, Healthcare Facilities, wherein the type of piping recommended is Stainless Steel SS304L or SS316L and Copper Piping. Also, NFPA has approved stainless steel for vacuum application in healthcare facilities.

Creating a piping system for your compressed air needs doesn’t have to be difficult. Atlas Copco’s AIRnet piping system helps you comply with highest quality standards. The piping design and press fit system ensures fast installation thus no welding or threading, saving labor costs. The AIRnet system can be used in clean room applications (316 L) and also Pharmaceutical and Food & Beverage industry (FKM Seal).
