Air Quality Testing

Left untreated, compressed air can decrease system efficiency, damage equipment, and compromise the quality of your final products.

The Importance of Compressed Air Quality Testing

No matter your industry or sector, maintaining high-quality compressed air is essential. If left untreated, compressed air can lead to system inefficiencies, equipment damage, and product contamination.

That’s why compressed air quality testing is crucial for any business relying on compressed air. 

However, the required standards and purity levels vary by industry, making it important to ensure your system meets the specific quality demands of your operations.

Air Quality Standards

The quality of compressed air depends on both the environment where your compressor is located and the applications it serves. For instance, industries like food & beverage and pharmaceuticals require significantly higher air purity compared to a typical garage or workshop.

The international standard for compressed air quality is ISO 8573-1:2010. This standard defines purity classes based on the presence of particles, water, and oil, regardless of where the air is measured within the system.

ISO 8573-1:2010 also provides insights into contaminants found in compressed air systems, including gaseous and microbiological impurities, ensuring businesses can meet the necessary air quality requirements for their industry.
