AIR CHECK
I WORK ENGINEERING L.P.
SCIENCE MADE EASY:
We provide compressed air & gas testing services to industry. Our customers are manufacturers where the use of compressed air is critical such as Food & Beverage and many others.
AirCheck✓™ team of experts collect samples from your system that are sent to our laboratory for analysis. We then caccurately determine the purity of your compressed air/gas and provide you with a report that is internationally accepted and recognized.
Here's what you can expect:
- End to end support from qualified staff
- Quick turn around for audits
- Accurate results
- Help meeting ISO standards
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT:
Compressed Air that is contaminated or does not meet required purity standards can affect product quality. damage machinery or endanger health and safety. It is important to check compressed air quality.
Some industries have regulations or guidelines that include requirements for compressed air purity. In addition, audit and certification may be required

ISO
ISO (International Standards Organization) is the world's largest developer and publisher of international standards. There are three standards currently in use which directly relate to compressed air quality (purity) and testing.
These are : ISO 8573 Series / ISO 12500 Series / ISO 7183
The most commonly used standard is the ISO 8573 Series and in particular ISO 8573-1:2010
Which of the three standards should I use ?

- More
WHAT WE TEST:
PARTICLES
Rust, dirt, and metal shavings are just a few examples of possible particle contamination.
WATER
Length and condition of distribution piping, drops, dead-ends, condensate drain traps, and the use of polymer tubing can contribute to excess moisture.
OIL
Even oil-free compressors can be contaminated with oil vapor(gaseous hydrocarbons) from intake air.
MICROORGANISMS
An improperly maintained compressor can provide conditions (water + oil + warm temperature) needed for microbial growth.
