Compressed air & gas equipment

Read more

When choosing technical supply equipment, start with the precisely identified medium. This category name does not indicate approval for gas: equipment documented for compressed air remains a compressed air option. For any other gas, only equipment whose manufacturer approves that exact medium and the planned conditions is suitable.

Medium approval before connection type

Starting point Result Still to check
The system medium is compressed air Compare only equipment explicitly approved for compressed air Function, working pressure, connection and required air treatment
The system medium is another precisely identified gas Exclude compressed air equipment unless the manufacturer has approved it for that gas Medium, pressure, temperature, materials, seals and applicable system requirements
The medium has not yet been identified Do not select equipment by connection size Obtain the missing specification from the system documentation or the person responsible for planning

Example: an existing connection but an unidentified medium

A device and the existing line have similar-looking connections. That is not enough to select the device. If its documentation specifies only compressed air, it is excluded for another gas until explicit approval from the equipment manufacturer is available. Only then should pressure, temperature, the mating connection and what is included be compared.

Festo explicitly describes the linked regulator range as a compressed air solution and excludes water and hydraulic applications. This manufacturer example shows why the medium specification comes before the connection type; it does not approve other equipment or gases. Relevant categories: Compressed air and gas accessories and Compressed air couplings and connectors.

Check compressed air lines for winter

The category name does not replace approval for the medium or operating conditions. The guide Compressed air hoses in winter helps you compare the hose, coupling, operating pressure, temperature limits and working length as a system.
