Compressed Air Piping
Kaeser's SmartPipeXL™ is a modular compressed air distribution system that offers both lower installation costs and lower long term operating costs.

Piping selection directly affects the three key elements of every compressed air system: flow, pressure, and air quality. Poor choices in pipe materials, diameter, and layout cause flow restrictions, often resulting in significant pressure drop. Pressure drop is a leading cause of increased energy consumption and underperforming air driven tools and equipment.

Aluminum Pipe Specification

  • 6063-T5 grade aluminum
  • Pipe conforms to standards EN755.2 and EN755.8
  • Smooth bore ID for optimal flow performance
  • Powder coat in blue (RAL5012)
  • Consult factory for availability of other colors

Fittings Specification

  • Fittings are A360 and ZL104 aluminum without the use of plastic or polyamide fitting bodies, except for equal union connectors 2-1/2 to 8" which are hot plate, rolled steel and powder coated. Pipe-to-pipe sealing utilizes concentric Nitrile seals with a thickness greater than 1/2".
  • Fittings 3/4" to 2" utilize 316 stainless steel grab rings with a greater than 2 mm cross-sectional width that bites into pipe past the powder coated surface. Fittings 2-1/2" to 8" utilize a lugged groove.
  • 100% recyclable and non-flammable materials (UL 94-HB standard).
  • Modular and reusable.

Flexible Hose Specification

Resistant to mineral and synthetic oils


Common Piping Materials: Advantages and Disadvantages

Material Information

Piping selection directly affects the three key elements of every compressed air system: flow, pressure and air quality. Choices in piping also directly impact installation costs. The table below outlines some of the main advantages and disadvantages of each of the most common options.

Black Iron Material Advantages

  • Moderate material costs
  • Available in multiple sizes

Black Iron Material Disadvantages

  • Labor intensive installation
  • May rust and leak
  • Rough inside promotes contaminant build-up and creates pressure drop

Galvanized Iron Material Advantages

  • Moderate material costs
  • Available in multiple sizes
  • Some rust protection

Galvanized Iron Material Disadvantages

  • Often only exterior is coated
  • Labor intensive installation
  • Rough inside promotes contaminant build-up and creates pressure drop
  • May rust at joints and leak

Copper Material Advantages

  • No rust; good air quality
  • Smooth interior - low pressure drop

Copper Material Disadvantages

  • Requires quality brazing to prevent leaks
  • Susceptible to thermal cycling
  • Installation requires open flame

Stainless Steel Material Advantages

  • No rust, good air quality
  • Smooth interior - low pressure drop

Stainless Steel Material Disadvantages

  • Labor intensive installation
  • Expensive materials

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Material Advantages

  • Lightweight
  • Inexpensive

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Material Disadvantages

  • Lower safety
  • In certain areas, not compliant with some codes
  • Carries static charge
  • Subject to bursting
  • Adhesives not compatible with compressor oils

Aluminum Material Advantages

  • Corrosion resistant
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to install
  • Lower cost of ownership

Aluminum Material Disadvantages

  • Limited pressure ratings
  • Material costs


Certification
  • SmartPipeXL™ meets the requirement of ASME B31.1 which stipulates the minimum requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, installation, test, and inspection of power and auxiliary piping systems for industrial plants.
  • SmartPipeXL™ also conforms to European standard 2014/68/EU regarding equipment under pressure.
  • With proper installation, Kaeser warrants its SmartPipeXL products to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of ten (10) years from the date of purchase of the products.




Additional Information
Choices in piping also directly impact installation costs. Heavier materials cause fatigue and slow work, especially in overhead installations. The types of fittings used must also be considered. Some connection types cause pressure drop, need special tools, and take more time to install.

Aluminum Piping: SmartPipe™ Compressed Air Piping System

Kaeser's SmartPipe™ is a modular aluminum pipe for compressed air installations, offering both lower installation costs and lower long-term operating costs. From small shops to large industrial systems, SmartPipe™ is great for all facilities and is available in sizes up to 8 pipe diameter.

Air line pipe with optimum flow and air quality
SmartPipe™'s smooth calibrated aluminum construction has a low friction coefficient, providing the best possible laminar flow. Full bore fittings further minimize pressure drop for optimum flow and energy efficiency. Leak-free connectors prevent air loss and wasted energy.

SmartPipe™ is ideal for installations requiring the highest quality air. Aluminum material will not rust or corrode. Further, it has no rough surfaces or interior restrictions that accumulate contaminants. The smooth interior with full bore design allows them to flow to your dryers and filters for efficient removal."
