How to select the correct pipe material in compressed air systems

ATTENDEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.

When selecting pipe for a compressed air system, the pipe’s composition, size and length must all be considered. Metal pipe is traditionally used; however, steel or plastic are sometimes installed.

Plant managers and compressed air experts can think differently about installing piping for compressed air systems. Traditional methods may still work but they are costly, heavy and time-consuming to install. When it comes to maintenance, each material has different requirements, which should be considered when designing a new compressed air system or when retrofitting a current one.

Learn about the benefits of an all-aluminum piping system and how it compares to copper, stainless steel, black iron and PVC.

Learning objectives:

• Understand the differences between various compressed air pipe options, and how each achieves a different outcome.
• Review examples of various pipe options, with an emphasis on Unipipe systems.
• Learn about the installation process, including time and materials.
• Gain insights from case studies, calculations and best practices.
