COMPRESSED AIR TESTING

COMPRESSED AIR TESTING

What Is Compressed Air Testing?

Compressed air testing is a critical process used to ensure that the air produced by compressed air systems meets specific purity standards required for a variety of applications. These systems are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and some medical environments, where clean and dry compressed air is necessary to operate tools, machinery, and processes effectively and safely.

Why Is Compressed Air Testing Important?

The quality of compressed air is vital because contaminants in the air can cause problems such as:

 

 

 

Damage to Equipment: Oil, water, and particulates can wear out or damage pneumatic machinery and tools.

 

Product Contamination: In sectors like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics manufacturing, air quality directly impacts the cleanliness and integrity of the products.

 

Health Risks: Poor air quality can pose health risks to employees, especially in environments where air comes into direct contact with workers or products.

 

 

What Does Compressed Air Testing Involve?

Moisture (Water Vapor): High levels of humidity can lead to corrosion and bacterial growth.

 

Oil (Aerosols, Vapors): Oil can come from compressor lubricants and can contaminate sensitive products or processes.

 

Particulates (Dust, Pollen, Microbes): Solid particles can clog or damage equipment and affect product quality.
