Common Pipe Sizing Mistakes in Compressed Air Systems
...and how to avoid them Compressed air performance is often blamed on the compressor, when the real issue sits downstream in the pipework. Incorrect pipe sizing is one of the most common and costly mistakes in compressed air system design, leading to pressure loss, inefficiency, and avoidable operating expense. Understanding where pipe sizing goes wrong [...]
Compressed Air in the Automotive Industry
From assembly lines to auto repair shops, compressed air powers nearly every corner of the automotive world. It’s the unseen force behind efficient production, precision tools, and quality finishes - keeping the industry moving, one application at a time. Below, we explore how compressed air drives performance in automotive manufacturing, servicing, and beyond - and [...]
Understanding Laminar Flow in Compressed Air Systems
When it comes to compressed air efficiency, laminar flow is everything. The smoother your air moves through the system, the less energy is wasted. And believe it or not, laminar flow is influenced almost entirely by the air line you use. What Is Laminar Flow? In fluid dynamics, laminar flow describes how smoothly a gas [...]
When Air Turns Dangerous: Understanding and Preventing Hose Whip
Providing a safe working environment is essential, especially when using pneumatic tools and compressed air.
Design Considerations for Compressed Air Piping Systems
When it comes to compressed air, performance starts long before the compressor. A well-designed piping system determines how efficiently air is delivered throughout your facility, influencing energy use, equipment lifespan, and overall reliability. Designing an efficient compressed air piping system requires balancing flow performance, pressure stability, material selection, and long-term maintainability. This guide outlines seven [...]
CASE STUDY | PA LAL, FIJI
The PA LAL Holdings Warehouse in Fiji, along with nine buses, was destroyed by fire. A fire-resistant compressed air system was provided by Infinity Pipe Systems as part of the rebuild
Back to Basics: The Aluminium vs Plastic Debate
The influx of aluminium compressed air systems in today’s market underlines it as the way of the future for air distribution.
