Compressed Air Quality Audit ISO 8573
The importance of air quality: ISO Standard
Every compressed air system is designed and built in line with the specific requirements of the customer, above all taking into account the ISO standards that govern the quality of the compressed air.
There are three standards currently in force that refer directly to the quality (purity) and the analysis of compressed air:
ISO 8573 / ISO 12500 / ISO 7183
The most common one is ISO 8573. This standard defines the methods and tests to be used to determine the contaminants present in compressed air. Classification of contaminants according to ISO 8573:
• Solid particulate
• Residual humidity
• Residual oil (including vapour) content
The consequences of contaminants in compressed air
The consequences of the use of contaminated compressed air can range from faults in plants, limited production and shutdowns due to problems with the quality of the end product:
• Premature wear
• Rust and corrosion of equipment
• Instrumentation damage
• Imperfect painted surfaces
• Increase in the volume of waste
• Delivery of faulty products into the market
• Wear and corrosion of pipes
“The regular and continuous analysis of the quality of compressed air guarantees safety to the production processes, free from the risks of contamination”
