ASME & ISO Air Storage Systems

...print

ASME & ISO Air Storage Systems increase the overall efficiency of a compressed breathing air system. A properly sized air storage system allows peak demands to be met quicker than just relying on the compressor output. Stored air can also be used to carry on operations in the event of compressor failure, loss of power to run a compressor, or in areas where compressors are not available.

Two types of storage vessels, ASME and ISO, are available. ASME vessels are generally used for permanent installations since they have a greater safety factor and do not require periodic hydrotesting. ISO cylinders are usually better suited for applications involving the transport of breathing air.

Storage systems are available in horizontal or vertical configurations and with bulk or cascade-type manifold piping.

ASME 6000

ASME Air Storage Systems:

  • Available for working pressures of 6000+ PSI.
  • Do not require hydro-testing but must be fitted with ASME relief valve, pressure gauge, and service and drain valves.
  • Ideal for mobile applications but must be accessible for visual and relief valve inspections.
  • Can be installed in stationary or mobile applications.*

* Verify installation requirements with state OSHA regulations. ASME cylinders are required in some states.

ISO 4500/6000

ISO Air Storage Systems

  • Available with 4500 or 6000 PSI cylinders.
  • Cylinders require hydro-testing every ten years.
  • Principal advantages include price and weight.
  • Can be installed in stationary or mobile applications.*

* Verify installation requirements with state OSHA regulations. ASME cylinders are required in some states.
