The compressed air pipework system is to transfer compressed air to certain points of usage. Compressed air requires enough volume, quality and force to appropriately power the mechanism that utilizes the compressed air.
The different types of piping materials used for compressed air pipework can be divided in two categories that is metal and non-metal.

Non-Metal Pipe – These are generally popular as plastic pipes and has been serving the compressed air piping, due to the following reasons.

1. It is light and easy to handle.
2. It does not need special tools for installation.
3. It is non-corrosive.
4. It should be glued with appropriate material during installation.
5. Installation labor cost is reasonable in comparison to metal pipes.
Metal Pipe – Stainless steel, black iron, aluminum, copper, etc having appropriate thermal/pressure characteristics.
