Prevost Piping System

What is a compressed air system?

A compressed air system moves energy throughout a network to power workstations and machinery.
Mount the ringmain of a Prevost 100% aluminum pipe system
a minimum height of 8.2 ft. from the floor.
Install smaller diameter “downpipes” or “drops” off the main line to terminate at distribution points throughout the network approximately 4 ft. from the floor. From these points various accessories can be attached (manifolds, safety couplings, filtration, hoses, etc.).

SIZING A COMPRESSED
AIR SYSTEM

When designing a system, consider
the following:

  • desired flow rate
  • the length of the main line.

Use the table to determine
the appropriate pipe diameter with
an operating pressure of 116 psi
and a maximum pressure drop of 5%.

Pressure: 116 psi | Max. pressure drop 5% (5.8 psi) | Max. speed: 32 ft/s

* These values may vary slightly from compressor data

THERMAL EXPANSION

As temperatures fluctuate up or down, aluminum naturally expands
and contracts. To compensate, we recommend installing equipment along
the line to absorb the movement.
Use a flexible hose for small diameters
Install expansion kits to accommodate large diameters.
An expansion hose is necessary when a straight line exceeds 164 ft. or
more. Use this flexible hose to easily change direction of the air flow (angles)
or avoid obstacles in the facility (pillars, beams, etc.).

PREVOST PIPING SYSTEM
The 100% aluminum concept

The PREVOST PIPING SYSTEM’s pipes and fittings are 100% aluminum, compact, lightweight and professional
strength.

They can be installed easily and quickly for immediate pressurization.

The PREVOST PIPING SYSTEM range ensures:

  • clean, high quality air at all times
  • a sealed system
  • an optimized flow rate
  • an operating pressure range: from -14.21 psi to + 232 psi
  • a temperature range: from – 4°F to + 176°F

Workstations are well supplied, accessible and ergonomically designed.

BENEFITS OF A
PREVOST PIPING SYSTEM

EASY AND QUICK TO ASSEMBLE

Simply insert the pipe into the PPS
fitting then tighten the nut.

COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT

The 100% aluminum composition of the PPS range creates a system that is compact, lightweight and durable.

LEAK FREE WITH MINIMAL PRESSURE LOSS

The “PPS Grip Concept”, creates a secure, leak free connection. The smooth internal surface generates a laminar flow, a low friction coefficient and a maximum flow diameter which are all factors to reduce pressure loss.

HIGH TECH CONSTRUCTION

Aluminum alloy, combined with external electrostatic paint and internal treatments all protect the pipe against the oxidation and corrosion.

COMPATIBLE WITH COMPRESSOR OILS

Aluminum and viton seals are compatible with compressor lubricants.

100% CUSTOMIZABLE

The wide range of sizes and fittings allow the system for modular and scalable construction.

TOUGH MATERIAL

Aluminum guarantees long term performance: mechanical strength, pressure resistance, shock absorbent

THE PPS GRIP CONCEPT

PPS Grip Concept is based on two factors. The pipe is locked into the fitting with a stainless steel ring of teeth which penetrates the aluminum. The double-lobed, lubricated seal guarantees a secure connection and provides optimum results even in the harshest working conditions.
