Air Quality Testing FAQs
Why should I test the quality of my compressed air and nitrogen?
Testing the quality of your compressed air and nitrogen is important for ensuring that it meets the necessary safety, efficiency and reliability standards. In order for your equipment to work optimally, you need to ensure that its air and/or nitrogen supply is clean and free from contaminants. Compressed air and nitrogen testing can help to identify any issues with the quality of the air or nitrogen before they cause major problems.
What are the most common tests performed when testing compressed air and nitrogen?
The most common tests performed when testing compressed air and nitrogen are Oil & Grease Testing, Particle Count Testing, Microbial Testing, Contaminant Gas Testing, Dewpoint Testing and Oil Vapour Testing. These tests can measure the quality of the air or nitrogen supply and can help to identify any problems early on.
How often should air and nitrogen quality be tested?
Air and nitrogen quality should be tested at least once a year, but more frequent testing is recommended in applications where there is a risk of contamination or exposure to adverse environmental conditions. Depending on the complexity of the system and usage requirements, regular maintenance and quality testing may have to be performed more frequently than once a year.
What actions can be taken when air or nitrogen quality issues are identified?
When air or nitrogen quality issues are identified, the appropriate action should be taken in order to address the issue. This may involve carrying out repairs, replacing components, or using filtration systems to remove any contaminants from the air or nitrogen supply. It is important to seek professional advice if you are unsure about what action to take.
