Compressed air is a fundamental component of many industrial facilities across various industries, and having a reliable, safe, and efficient piping system to transport compressed air is critical. Copper pipe, black pipe, and rigid blue aluminum pipe are all piping options that can be used for compressed air transport, but each option has its pros and cons, as outlined in the chart above.

Proper sizing ensures efficient air flow and avoids pressure drops. This involves considering factors like air demand, desired pressure at the point of use, and pipe length. Check out our compressed air piping system designer for more information on finding the right fit.

When using blue aluminum pipe, you can choose between compression and press fittings, each offering different advantages. Compression fittings are reusable compression fittings that are ideal for residential or commercial spaces that need the flexibility to expand/modify their compressed air system. Permanent press fittings are easy to install and built to last without maintenance, which is ideal for bigger industrial/commercial spaces that will not change compressed air systems frequently.

With RapidAir compressed air solutions, you can customize your own system to your exact specifications. Check out the compressed air piping system designer to learn more.

Industrial and shop operations can be a logistical nightmare, and managing multiple vendors for critical materials carries high operational costs of time and shipping. By partnering with a one-stop compressed air solutions provider you can maximize efficiency and minimize the risk ripple effect.

Depending on the environment, elements such as humidity, moisture and potential chemical exposure are among the common corrosion concerns for industrial and shop operations. FastPipe compressed air aluminum pipes are corrosion resistant. No corrosion in the pipe and fittings helps keep pipes clean and free of debris, extending the life of tools. Cleaner air also translates to lower maintenance costs

Filtration applications such as filters and replacement elements, dryers and drains are important elements of total system filtration and point-of-use filtration.
