Our testing methods collect compressed breathing air samples at the source to yield accurate, detailed understanding of your compressed air quality. All analysis is completed by an AIHA Accredited Laboratory specializing in the analysis of Compressed Breathing Air Quality Testing. There are about 3 companies in the US that make air testing kits for checking compressed air systems. The differences between the kits made by each company are numerous and serious: the number of contaminants that can be tested at one time, pressure control methods, complexity of use, quality of technical support, and cost.
Get high quality compressed air by installing the right equipment and remove water, oil and dust from your compressed air.The quality of your compressed air is very important for the good operation of your equipment like air tools and pneumatic machines. Although it’s important, compressed air quality is often neglected or not given enough attention.High compressed air quality will dramatically reduce maintenance and breakdowns on air tools like grinders and nailers, and machines with air cylinders and moving parts.
It will also reduce rust and dirt in your system.Dirt, water and rust will get stuck inside your pneumatic equipment. Valves will get stuck or wear down, same for cylinders and air tools. It’s like the difference of breathing air on a dusty construction site, or in the middle of a nice forest.
What is quality air?Alright, so we need quality compressed air. But what is exactly quality air?
There are several things we look for when checking air quality:. Water in the air. Dewpoint / pressure dewpoint. Oil in the air. Dust. Contaminations like smells and micro organismsAll those things together contribute to the overall ccompressed air quality.
Of course, use your common sense and decide which factors are important to you.Water in the air is a common problem, probably important for all compressed air systems. Oil-free air on the other hand is not a big issue for many people, but is is a big issue for people working in the chemical or food industry.On the ‘‘ page there’s a list of stuff that will determine the quality of your air, plus info how to get rid of it.Bottom line: think for yourself what is important for you. Don’t believe the salesman that tries to sell you expensive equipment to get super high quality air, when you don’t really need it.Figure out what is important for YOU. Check the manuals of your equipment, it will often tell you what quality of compressed air is needed (like the dewpoint / amount of water and oil that is allowed, are there any special filter requirements?). Equipment to create quality compressed airEquipment to ‘upgrade’ your air quality is available from most compressor manufacturers. For example:, oil filters, dust filters, water traps.It doesn’t really matter what kind of compressor you have. There are only two types of compressor, as far as air quality is concerned: oil-free compressor and oil-lubricated compressors.
The oil-free compressor is more expensive but doesn’t use any oil, so the compressed air produces is completely oil-free.A more expensive compressor will not give you better air quality. All compressors suffer the same problems with regards to water and dust in the air. The only exception being oil.
Oil-free compressors give oil-free air, and piston compressors tend to ‘spit-out’ more oil compared to screw-type compressors.
