CERTIFIED PERFORMANCE Atlas Copco filters are qualified according to the ISO 8573-1:2010 standard. This is the latest edition of the standard. Beware of filters that comply with earlier editions, such as ISO 8573-1:1991 or ISO 8573-1:2001. The difference is inferior quality of the delivered compressed air. This qualification is a result of our filters being tested according to ISO 12500-1:2007, ISO 12500-2:2007, and ISO 12500-3:2009. These specify the test layout, test procedures and inlet conditions required for testing coalescing filters, vapor filters, and solid particle filters used in compressed...

A SOLUTION FOR EVERY APPLICATION At different points of use, different compressed air purities might be needed, depending on the application. The various air purity classes are provided in the table below, which clearly shows the various Atlas Copco filters and dryers that meet all the different classes. * Particle class 1 is reached directly after UD+. As downstream piping & vessels can add particles, it is advised to install particle filters DDp+ and PDp+ just before the application to reach particle class 1 at point of use. The compressor should be equipped with a liquid water separation system...
