Tests extended

As a key supplier of compressed-air filter elements to the UK market, Hiline Industries undertakes full test and air quality analysis of the filter media that it supplies. This service is also now available to cover testing of any filtration media products, including competitors' equipment.

The choice of the correct filter element has a direct effect on operational costs, and experience shows that air quality can help minimise or even eliminate unnecessary costs.

Following investments in state-ofthe- art testing equipment including particle counters, flow meters, mass flow controllers and dewpoint meters, Hi-line provides a test facility to measure the efficiency of filter elements. Tests indicate compliance with ISO 8573-1:2010, the international standard for compressed air quality. This standard lays down minimum air quality standards and defines allowable content levels for dirt, water and oil.
