The importance of air quality: ISO standard

Experience gained over many years has enabled BEKO TECHNO-LOGIES to design ever more efficient, reliable and high-quality compressed air treatment systems. Every compressed air system is designed and built in line with the specific requirements of the customer, above all taking into account the ISO standards that go-vern the quality of the compressed air.There are three standards currently in force that refer directly to the quality (purity) and the analysis of compressed air:

ISO 8573 / ISO 12500 / ISO 7183

The one used most is ISO 8573. This standard defines the methods and tests to be used to determine the contaminants present in compressed air.

Classification of contaminants according to ISO 8573:• Solid particulate• Residual humidity• Residual oil (including vapour) content

The consequences of contaminants in compressed air

The consequences of the use of contaminated compressed air can range from faults in plants, limited production and shutdowns due to problems with the quality of the end product:

• Premature wear

• Rust and corrosion of equipment

• Instrumentation damage

• Imperfect painted surfaces

• Increase in the volume of waste

• Delivery of faulty products into the market

• Wear and corrosion of pipes

“The regular and continuous analysis of the quality of compressed air guarantees safety to the production processes, free from the risks of contamination”


Food industry

Pharmaceutical industry

Electronics industry

When dealing with food, hygiene is the main requirement to guarantee the quality of fini-shed products. During production, the pneumatic processes and the transport of substan-ces require compressed air of absolute purity. For packaging, clean compressed air is indi-spensable for cleaning, for example when using compressed air to clean plastic bottles or containers. Our process technology provides for the tailor-made treatment of compressed air via the discharge of condensate, filtration and drying.

The most rigorous hygiene standards are applied in the production of pharmaceuticals. This obviously also applies to the compressed air that is used. This air must be absolutely free from oil so as not to contaminate sensitive products, for example in the production of pills: any dust is removed down-stream of the press with compressed air.BEKO TECHNOLOGIES offers personalised solutions to prepare oil-free process air safely.

In the electronics industry, compressed air is used in various ways: as a means of transport and cleaning, as energy support for compressed air tools. In any application, the compressed air requirements are high in terms of purity. With the components in the system combined to best effect, we guaran-tee an unbeatable treatment of the compressed air throughout the process. The METPOINT® OCV continuously measures the residual oil vapour content in the com-pressed air and makes that quality visible.


To establish the quality of air in line with ISO 8573-1 2010, the international standard for the classification of contaminants

ISO 8573-1 is the main document of the ISO 8573 series, as it spe-cifies the level of contamination allowed for every type of contami-nant in each cubic metre of compressed air. ISO 8573-1 lists the main contaminants such as solid particulate, water and oil (in the form of aerosol and vapour).

The maximum levels for every contaminant are shown separately in tabular form, but to make the document easier to understand, all three contaminants are combined.

The quality of the air cannot be seen, but can be measured:Measurement systems and services from BEKO TECHNOLOGIESCompanies try to overcome considerable challenges during pro-duction: when the safety of products and processes depends on the quality of compressed air. It is necessary to guarantee treat-ment at the highest level and to establish air quality that is com-pliant with ISO 8573-1: 2010. BEKO TECHNOLOGIES not only produce systems for the treatment of compressed air but also of-fers a wide range of measuring instruments that monitor and re-cord data; this guarantees visible and certified safety of compres-sed air quality.

With innovative technology from BEKO TECHNOLOGIES for measuring the quality of compressed air, your system will beco-me more secure.

BEKO TECHNOLOGIES offer a service that enables you to measure all the parameters in real time, without having to purchase all the in-strumentation necessary to measure air quality to the ISO 8573 stan-dards. All of the measuring instruments used during the service are subject to a regular annual calibration to guarantee the efficiency and reliability of the measurements.

The METPOINT® OCV, whether mobile or fixed, is the leading me-asurement system in the world with TÜV certification for measu-ring the content of residual oil vapour in compressed air.



Measurement of the quality of compressed air according to ISO 8573:

Solid particulate – residual humidity – residual oil (including vapour)

METPOINT® OCV - Residual oil va-pour content meterThe METPOINT® OCV with TÜV certification meets the measurement requirements for residual oil vapour and hydrocarbons according to the ISO 8573.1 standard for classes 1, 2, 3 and 4. METPOINT® OCV makes the purity of your compressed air visible

PC 400 – Particle meter The high precision of the PC 400 particle counter measures particles from 0.1 µm and is therefore ideal for monitoring the quality of compressed air to class 1 (ISO 8573)

METPOINT® DPM – Pressure dew point meterThe fixed dew point meter shows

temperature, relative humidity and
