for 207 bar apparatus
35 mg/m

for 300 bar apparatus
Note:
The water content of air supplied by a
compressor must not exceed 35 mg/m
3
.
Contaminants must be kept to a minimum
and must not exceed permissible
exposure levels. Air filters must be
suitable for the quality of air used and the
air must be tested periodically to ensure
that the supply reaches these standards.
The air must be free from the odour of oil
(odour threshold is 0.3 mg/m
3
).
The dew-point of air for compressed
airline BA must be sufficiently low to
prevent internal freezing.
National regulations for compressed
airline BA must be observed.
1.4 COMPRESSED AIR
AIRLINE SUPPLIES
Air for use with compressed air airlines
must conform to EN 12021 : 1999 or
AS/NZS1715 : 1994.
Airline pressure must be between 5.0 and
9.0 bar (70 - 130psi). Airflow supply
capacity for a single airline is given in
Table 2. Generally, each additional
wearer requires an extra 150 L/min, each
additional pair of wearers requires 300
L/min for one wearer and 450 L/min for
two wearers (see Table 2). All
measurements must be taken at the
wearer end of the airline. An Airline Flow
Tester (Article Number 1035978) is
available from Scott Safety for this
purpose.
Example: for 8 users (4 pairs) the
recommended flow is 4 x (300 + 150) =
1800 litres per minute.
External air supplies must conform to the
Supply Pressures and Flow Rates listed
in Table 2 when measured at the extreme
end of the supply hose.
