Testing Compressed Air For Micro FAQ

Can compressed air systems be a source of contamination?

As essential as it is, compressed air also can be a prime source of contamination. This problem is addressed by standards for clean, dry air - chiefly the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 8573-1, which defines contaminants and specifies a range of purity classes for particular processes.

What does compressed air mean?

compressed air. air compressed, especially by mechanical means, to a pressure higher than the surrounding atmospheric pressure.

How is compressed air measured?

• Moisture content in the compressed air is measured by dew point, the temperature at which water vapor condenses into water droplets. This occurs as air is stored in the tank or in the distribution piping system.

What is compressed air cfm?

CFM, or cubic feet per minute, denotes the unit of compressed airflow for air conditioning units. SCFM stands for standard cubic feet per minute, a measurement that takes into account standard conditions. Cubic feet per minute indicates how much air flows through air conditioning as the machinery pushes air through ducts of a building.
