Compressed air

Frequently asked questions — Compressed Air

• How do you choose between the various compressed air equipment options and other pneumatic components?

  The choice between compressed air solutions and other pneumatic product families depends on the function required in your installation. Compressed air equipment incorporates components, accessories, connectors and valves to form a complete network. Selection is based on the required flow rates, operating pressure and the overall dimensional configuration of the installation. It is necessary to assess material compatibility to guarantee the integrity of the network and the reliability of automated processes.
• Which standards must be observed when implementing my compressed air network?

  The implementation of compressed air systems must comply with the ISO 4414 standard, which defines the essential safety rules for pneumatics. For the specific integration of pneumatic valves, the requirements may align with those of the ISO 5599 standard. Finally, if your installation requires cylinders, you must verify their compliance with the dimensions of the ISO 15552 standard for tie-rod models or ISO 6432 for mini-cylinders.
• Which brands are available to build my compressed air installation?

  Our compressed air solutions rely on the technologies developed by several brands recognised for their expertise in this field. The range includes products from the LEGRIS, PARKER TRANSAIR, WORTHINGTON CREYSSENSAC, BOGE, MATTEI, NUAIR, ELGI and CIR catalogues. These different brands provide access to a varied offer of components, accessories and connectors, suited to integration in industrial networks with diverse configurations.
• What are the key technical criteria for sizing my system?

  Rigorous sizing of each connection and distribution element is essential. Your selection must be based on precise technical criteria, in particular material compatibility, required flow rates, operating pressure and the dimensional configuration of the installation. A methodical approach when selecting components helps to guarantee the integrity of the compressed air network as well as the reliability of the automated processes deployed.
