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 aluminumPipe conforms to standards EN755.2 and EN755.8Smooth bore ID for optimal flow performancePowder 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 costsAvailable in multiple sizes Black Iron Material Disadvantages Labor intensive installationMay rust and leakRough inside promotes contaminant build-up and creates pressure drop Galvanized Iron Material Advantages Moderate material costsAvailable in multiple sizesSome rust protection Galvanized Iron Material Disadvantages Often only exterior is coatedLabor intensive installationRough inside promotes contaminant build-up and creates pressure dropMay rust at joints and leak Copper Material Advantages No rust; good air qualitySmooth interior - low pressure drop Copper Material Disadvantages Requires quality brazing to prevent leaksSusceptible to thermal cyclingInstallation requires open flame Stainless Steel Material Advantages No rust, good air qualitySmooth interior - low pressure drop Stainless Steel Material Disadvantages Labor intensive installationExpensive materials Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Material Advantages LightweightInexpensive Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Material Disadvantages Lower safetyIn certain areas, not compliant with some codesCarries static chargeSubject to burstingAdhesives not compatible with compressor oils Aluminum Material Advantages Corrosion resistantLightweightEasy to installLower cost of ownership Aluminum Material Disadvantages Limited pressure ratingsMaterial 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 SystemKaeser'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 qualitySmartPipe™'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."
