Transair Compressed Air Pipework: The Perfect Solution for Clean Room Environments at Collins Aerospace, Hampshire
When Collins Aerospace needed a reliable, contamination-free compressed air system for their critical clean room facility in Hampshire, they turned to Airlink Compressors and the industry-leading Transair aluminium pipework system.
The existing galvanised steel compressed air lines had reached the end of their service life. Internal corrosion and particulate generation from the old pipes posed an unacceptable risk in a clean room environment where air purity is non-negotiable.
The Transair Solution Airlink Compressors designed and installed a complete new Transair aluminium compressed air ring main featuring:
- Full-bore, smooth-bore aluminium pipework for maximum flow and minimum pressure drop
- 100 % corrosion-resistant construction – zero risk of rust or internal flaking
- Food-grade and clean-room-compatible materials (conforms to ISO 8573-1 Class 1.1.1 capable)
- Quick-connect Transair fittings for fast, leak-free installation with no welding or threading
- Local isolation valves and safety couplings at every drop for instant lock-out and enhanced operator safety
- Colour-coded blue pipework (RAL 5012) clearly identifying clean compressed air lines
Installation Highlights The entire system was installed by Airlink’s factory-trained engineers with minimal disruption to ongoing clean room operations. After completion, the new network was pressure tested to 12 bar and certified leak-free, delivering a high-flow, high-purity compressed air supply exactly where it’s needed.
Benefits Realised by Collins Aerospace
