7 Compressed Air and Vacuum Requirements
Compressed Air Specifications
Table 7-1 shows the compressed air specifications for the systems.
Air Quality
The compressed air must be oil-free and must meet the humidity specifications in
Table 7-1. We recommend that the air be filtered to remove contaminants such as
oil and aerosols. The filter should filter 0.3-micron particles.
