The purpose of the compressed air piping system is to deliver compressed air to the points of usage. The compressed air needs to be delivered with enough volume, appropriate quality, and pressure to properly power the components that use the compressed air. Compressed air is costly to manufacture.

A poorly designed compressed air system can increase energy costs, promote equipment failure, reduce production efficiencies, and increase maintenance requirements. It is generally considered true that any additional costs spent improving the compressed air piping system will pay for themselves many times over the life of the system.

Compressed air is utilized in many commercial industrial facilities and is considered a utility essential to production. Transair's aluminum compressed air pipe system provides airtight fittings with full bore flow creating a more energy efficient system.
