Open the catalog to page 1INTRODUCTION This document is intended to be used by organisations working with compressed air networks and centralised vacuum networks, to help them write their project specifications. Aluminium piping systems are a relatively new technology and their use is becoming more and more frequent. It is important to list the certifications and guarantees that an aluminium pipework should have to ensure safe and efficient use. The Transair specification document lists all requirements that a compressed air or vacuum system should meet in terms of safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability....
Open the catalog to page 3PIPES Pipe is the main part of any system; major attention should be given to the quality of the pipe in order to guarantee safe and efficient use. On compressed air or vacuum networks the following aluminium alloy should be used: either AW-6060 with a T51 thermal treatment or AW6063 with a T5 thermal treatment. Conformity of the alloy is given by three different attributes which correspond to three different standards: the chemical composition is defined in EN 573.3 and ASTM B241 (for the US), conformity of the thermal treatment is defined in ISO 2107 and the mechanical characteristics are...

Fibre glass reinforcement will increase impact resistance without increasing the weight. The stainless steel gripping ring is a main safety feature: it keeps the pipe connected to the fitting. The mechanical characteristics of this ring are dictated by the type of alloy used, since there are various grades of stainless steel. The gripping ring material should be Z10 CN 18 (as defined in EN 10151...
Open the catalog to page 5Diameter 63 mm (2 1/2"): Larger diameters require a more secure and stronger means of connection due to an increased force being applied. Aluminium will provide a more suitable solution to allow greater resistance and is easier to handle than traditional steel materials. Similar to smaller diameters, the quality of the rubber seals will determine sealing integrity over time: We recommend the use of NBR HD50 or NBR HD70. On this diameter the constraints are higher: Therefore, the connection method should be adjusted to suit. We recommend the use of a double clamp technology to ensure that...
Open the catalog to page 6HOSES Flexible hoses for compressed air and vacuum applications are regulated by different standards: ISO 8030 for under pressure applications and EN 12115 for vacuum. These standards determine the rules and the quality target in terms of performance and to fire resistance of the hoses. QUALITY OF THE CONVEYED FLUID Another important quality of aluminium pipe is it’s resistance to corrosion. Thanks to this feature the flow will not be adversely affected by rust. It does not mean, however that the system will be totally clean; fittings can cause the presence of plastic or metal particles,...
Open the catalog to page 7For the environment: RoHS and REACH standards guarantee that no hazardous substance is present in the product used. A Green Building Council can issue an approval, in many cases, based on the following criteria: environmental impact during manufacturing, energy efficiency, recyclability and conformity to manufacturing standards. The manufacturer should be able to carry out a life cycle analysis on their aluminium pipework to ensure a lower environmental impact, especially for the largest diameter (168 mm). For energy savings: A compressed air system can be a large energy consumer. There are...
