Why choose stainless steel airline equipment?
Why would you choose stainless steel airline equipment instead of standard airline equipment? There are numerous applications which require a more resistant and durable solution to standard airline equipment. In this blog, we explain when stainless steel airline equipment becomes an essential requirement and the many advantages of choosing stainless steel airline equipment.
How does airline equipment work?
Airline equipment is designed to treat compressed air for use in pneumatic systems. Each component works to achieve this, starting with the filter. The filters purify the air as it enters, removing particles such as powder and rust, which could have a detrimental effect on the pneumatic system. Installed in the upstream of the system, the pressure regulator provides a constant stream of outlet pressure, whilst controlling the fluctuating inlet pressure. The lubricator then adds oil to the air that is essential in preventing the wear down of the seals.
Stainless steel filter, regulator and lubricator
For high performing, reliable, durable airline equipment, API’s stainless steel filter, regulator and lubricator is the right product for your requirements. If your industry is demanding, and it is essential that your equipment is corrosion resistant, 316 stainless steel is the ultimate solution. API not only provides the full solution, we also distribute the three individual components separately. Therefore, if you require a stainless steel pressure regulator alone, we can supply that singular product.
Why choose stainless steel airline equipment?
When pneumatic systems are required in extreme industries, such as the oil and gas and chemical industries, the airline equipment must be able to withstand the temperamental conditions of the environment. A stainless steel filter, regulator and lubricator can make a vital difference in the performance of pneumatic systems in these industries.
Advantages of stainless steel airline equipment
It is not only the oil and gas and chemical industries that require stainless steel components. This extends further to industries such as food, medical, offshore, pharmaceutical and mining. As well as corrosion and chemical resistance, another advantage of stainless steel airline equipment is that it is designed to be lightweight and compact to deliver space saving capabilities.
As well as being manufactured from the highest grade 316 stainless steel, further advantages of our stainless steel airline equipment include low-temperature seal options and ATEX versions. All of our airline equipment is available in a range of sizes, with a multitude of options to choose from.
