Undetected leaks and inefficiencies in your compressed air system can lead to increased operating costs and reduced performance. A compressed air audit from Nessco Pressure Systems helps monitor, measure and correctly diagnose problems with your system.
Our audits pinpoint common trouble spots, including:
-
Worn or loose hoses, couplings, fittings, and tubing
-
Faulty pressure regulators
-
Leaking drain valves and unsealed shut-offs
-
Compromised pipe joints, threads, and connections
Each audit includes a comprehensive assessment report with clear recommendations to enhance system performance, reduce energy waste, and increase production quality and compressor system reliability.
In many industrial and production environments, compressed air isn’t just powering equipment – it’s essential for respiratory protection. Whether you’re operating in confined spaces, conducting spray painting, or working in food or pharmaceutical manufacturing, the quality of your breathing air directly affects the health and safety of your workforce.
Contaminated compressed air can contain harmful substances such as:
To ensure air safety and system performance, regular breathing air testing is not only best practice, but also a requirement under Australian Standards and the Work Health and Safety Act 2020.
Our air testing services meet the requirements of:
-
AS/NZS 1715:2009 – Use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment
-
ISO 8573-1:2010 – Compressed air purity classifications
-
WHS (General) Regulations 2022 – Managing airborne contaminants
Testing intervals depend on system type and filtration load. Annual checks are rarely sufficient. At Nessco Pressure Systems, we recommend testing every 3 to 6 months, depending on the air filtration system used.
