airexpress® is a modular system of tubular profiles with flat or round sides, specially designed for compressed air conduction. It is anticorrosive due to its chemical composition, facilitating the conservation of the treated air; its smooth surface minimizes friction losses, its modular assembly of quick coupling simplifies its installation avoiding time losses and production costs.
The square pipes of the airexpress® line allow installation of hot service points and its versatile structure allows adaptability to design changes since it is a light, resistant system and its weight is equivalent to one third of the weight of a conventional pipe, in addition it is free of paint and maintenance.
The pressure and volume of compressed air in the airexpress® pipe is constant, this allows optimizing the efficiency of pneumatic equipment. Airexpress® products contribute to energy savings by reducing pressure losses and leaks by up to 30% compared to a carbon steel pipe and it is a clean technology that protects the useful life of the different pneumatic equipment.

PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
The data of these tests were taken under standard atmospheric conditions 20°C (293°K) and 1,013 bar (14.7 PSI).
Anodizing gives it greater resistance to corrosion and wear. The anodizing of airexpress® pipe is between 12 μ and 15 μ deep for domestic use; for export it will be between 15 μ and 17 μ which is the international standard.
The airexpress® pipe is resistant to corrosion attack by some chemical agents. For aggressive environments, which attack aluminum, a pipe with a special coating can be used.
Maximum working pressure 203 PSI (16 bar).
The tubing has been hydrostatically tested to 800 PSI (54 bar).
The airexpress® pipe complies with ICONTEC 5359 (Aluminum pipes for compressed air).
airexpress® tubing is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
airexpress® fittings are ISO 9001:2000 certified.
Complies with ICONTEC standard 3458 (Piping and installation marking). Complies with ISO 8573-1 (Air quality).
