Influence of piping material on pressure drop and air quality

Compressed Air System Performance Transformation

  • COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM OVERVIEW

    A manufacturing facility operating multiple pneumatic tools and CNC machines required stable, oil-free compressed air at consistent pressure across all workstations.

  • EXISTING PIPING INFRASTRUCTURE

    The system used mild steel (GI) piping installed three years earlier, operating at 7 bar to support continuous production demands.

  • OPERATING CHALLENGES OBSERVED

    Over time, pressure drops, air quality inconsistency, and rising compressor load began affecting production reliability and efficiency.

  • CORROSION & INTERNAL DEGRADATION

    Moisture inside the steel piping caused corrosion, rust, and scale buildup, reducing the effective internal diameter.

  • ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFICATION

    Material incompatibility with moisture-laden compressed air was identified as the primary cause of pressure loss, contamination, and inefficiency.

  • SYSTEM UPGRADE IMPLEMENTED

    The steel network was replaced with a corrosion-free aluminium modular piping system featuring smooth internal surfaces.

  • LEAK-FREE MODULAR DESIGN

    O-ring sealed joints eliminated leakage points, ensuring airtight connections and stable pressure distribution.

  • PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

    Pressure drop across the network was significantly reduced, delivering stable air pressure at all points of use.
