ISO 8573 Compressed Air Testing Services
At Analytical Chemists Inc., we provide comprehensive and ISO-compliant compressed air quality testing to ensure that your air systems meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and reliability. Our services are designed for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and more. By adhering to ISO 8573 and other regulatory standards, we ensure that your compressed air systems are free from harmful contaminants and fully compliant with air quality requirements.

Why Compressed Air Quality Matters
Compressed air is critical in industrial environments, providing power for machinery, tools, and equipment. Poor air quality can lead to equipment malfunctions, contamination of products, and even safety hazards for workers. Contaminants such as particulates, moisture, oil, and gases (e.g., carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oil vapors) can compromise the integrity of the air supply and negatively impact operational efficiency. ISO 8573 sets global standards for compressed air quality, ensuring that air systems are free from contaminants that could lead to health risks or damage to equipment. Compliance with these standards is vital for maintaining a safe and efficient working environment.

Our Compressed Air Quality Testing Process
We offer a fully accredited, state-of-the-art compressed air testing service to analyze your air systems for contaminants. Our team of experts uses advanced, calibrated instruments to measure the following contaminants:

• Particulates: Dust, dirt, and other solid particles that can damage equipment and compromise product quality.
• Oil Vapors & Aerosols: Oil contamination can cause equipment malfunction and system failure if not properly filtered.
• Water Vapor: Excess moisture in the compressed air system can lead to corrosion, microbial growth, and damage to sensitive components.
• Gases: Toxic gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and oxygen deficiency (O₂) are tested to ensure that air quality meets safety guidelines.

After testing, we provide detailed reports indicating whether your air quality meets ISO 8573 standards or requires corrective action. If your results fall outside of the acceptable limits, we’ll notify you immediately, allowing you to take swift action to resolve the issue.

Testing to ISO and Regulatory Standards
Our testing services are conducted in accordance with ISO 8573, the globally recognized standard for compressed air quality, as well as other key regulatory frameworks:

• ISO 8573: The industry standard for the quality of compressed air, specifying limits for contaminants like particulates, oil, and water.
• OSHA Standards: Ensures compliance with workplace safety regulations, protecting employees from the dangers of poor air quality.
• Industry-Specific Standards: We also comply with additional industry-specific guidelines such as those in the pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries, where air purity is critical for product safety.
