Compressed Air Testing Services for Industrial Applications

Compressed Air Testing Services for Industrial Applications

Compressed air plays a vital role in various industrial processes — from food and beverage packaging to pharmaceutical manufacturing. However, compressed air systems can introduce harmful impurities into the production line if not properly tested. These contaminants may come from ambient air, lubricants, or even corroded pipework, leading to product defects, equipment failure, and compliance risks.

At Equinox Labs, we offer compressed air testing services to help you maintain high quality, operational efficiency, and compliance with ISO 8573 standards. Our services include compressed air analysis, sampling for microbiology, and particulate testing tailored to your industry needs.

Sources of Contamination

Better Product Development

Ambient Air Intake

Pollutants like dust, mold spores, and hydrocarbons can enter the system through intake vents.

Lower Recalls & Costs

Compressor Lubricants

Residual oil from the compressor or associated systems can leak into compressed air.

Lower Recalls & Costs

Internal Pipework

Corrosion, scale, or microbial buildup inside pipes can compromise air purity.
