INDUSTRIAL AIR
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about INDUSTRIAL AIR from 3G Electric.
What ASME standards do INDUSTRIAL AIR tanks comply with?
INDUSTRIAL AIR tanks are ASME-approved, meaning they are designed and constructed in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), Section VIII, Division 1. This certification ensures the tanks meet minimum safety requirements for pressure vessels, including material specifications, design pressure, and testing protocols. The specific ASME stamp and compliance details are typically indicated on the tank's nameplate. For procurement, this certification is essential for installations requiring jurisdictional approval or insurance compliance.
What is the maximum operating pressure for INDUSTRIAL AIR vertical stationary tanks?
The vertical stationary INDUSTRIAL AIR tanks, including models with capacities of 80, 120, and 200 gallons, have a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi. This rating is consistent across the vertical stationary line, providing a uniform pressure capability for system design. The hand-carry model (20-gallon) has a lower maximum operating pressure of 175 psi. Always verify the specific model's nameplate for exact pressure limits and temperature ratings.
Are INDUSTRIAL AIR hand-carry tanks suitable for portable applications?
Yes, the INDUSTRIAL AIR hand-carry tank (model IT20ASME) is designed for portability with a 20-gallon capacity and horizontal orientation. It features a 175 psi maximum operating pressure and is ASME-approved. This tank is suitable for applications requiring a mobile air supply, such as pneumatic tool operation in remote areas or temporary setups. Its compact size and hand-carry design facilitate transport, but it should be used within its rated pressure and temperature limits.
What are the overall dimensions of INDUSTRIAL AIR 120-gallon vertical tanks?
INDUSTRIAL AIR offers two 120-gallon vertical stationary tanks: model 021-0410 has an overall length of 24 inches, while model 021-0412 has an overall length of 30 inches. Both have a 200 psi maximum operating pressure and are ASME-approved. The difference in length may affect installation footprint and clearance requirements. Verify the specific model's dimensions before ordering to ensure compatibility with your space constraints.
Can INDUSTRIAL AIR tanks be used for non-air compressed gases?
INDUSTRIAL AIR tanks are specifically designed for compressed air storage. Using them for other gases, especially those with different chemical properties or higher hazard classifications, may violate ASME code requirements and safety standards. The tanks' materials and design are optimized for air service. For other gases, consult the manufacturer or a pressure vessel engineer to determine suitability and compliance with applicable codes.
