5. Compressed air transport
5.1 Networks
The air produced in the plant is distributed to the various points of use by a network of pipes. This network is built according to the usual rules (see articles under the heading Piping. Reservoirs in the Industrial Engineering treatise
Piping is made of seamless black steel (standard NF A 49-111) or galvanized steel, stainless steel or plastic (AB, PVC) (standard NF A 49-700), to avoid corrosion. For small-diameter installations, we also use copper (NF A 51-120 standard) and, for hose connections, rubber or special plastic (nylon, etc.).
In each case, the appropriate connecting pieces (elbows, sleeves, T-pieces, etc.) are used....
