What does compressed air oil residual content 0.003 mean

The oil residual content of compressed air of 0.003 means that the oil content (including oil in the form of liquid oil, oil vapor and aerosols) per cubic meter of compressed air does not exceed0.003 mgThis is a very high standard for compressed air quality. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Core definitions

  • oil residue: Refers to the total content of oil particles remaining in the air after lubricating oil is atomized or evaporated during the compression process of the air compressor.
  • 0.003 standard: That is, oil content ≤0.003 mg/m³, belonging toLevel 0 in ISO 8573-1 standard(highest level), far exceeding the level 1 standard (≤0.01 mg/m³).

2. Technical background

  1. standard sources such
    ISO 8573-1 divides compressed air quality into 5 levels, level 0 is customized by the equipment user or supplier, but is usually requiredOil content ≤0.003 mg/m³, to ensure the demand for scenarios that are extremely sensitive to oil pollution.

  2. detection mode

    • sensor monitoring: For example, the S120 residual oil sensor can detect oil content as low as 0.003 mg/m³ in real time.
    • laboratory analysis: Gas chromatography can accurately measure trace oil content, but the operation is complex.

3. Application scenarios

This standard applies to air quality requirementsextremely strictAreas of:

  1. medical field
    • Ventilator air supply: Avoid oil from entering the patient’s respiratory tract.
    • Surgical instrument drive: Ensure the cleanliness of pneumatic tools such as scalpels.
    • pharmaceutical production: Comply with GMP standards to prevent oil pollution from affecting drug safety.
  2. electronics manufacturing
    • semiconductor production: Avoid oil mist contaminating the wafer surface.
    • Precision instrument assembly: Protect optical elements, sensors, etc. from being affected by oil pollution.
  3. other scenarios
    • laboratory analysis: Provide oil-free air to avoid interfering with experimental results.
    • High-end spraying: Ensure that the coating surface is free of oil stains and improve coating quality.

4. Measures to meet the standards

  1. device selection
    • oil free compressor: Use water lubrication or special coating technology to avoid oil pollution from the source.
    • multi-stage filtration: Configure activated carbon filter and coalescing filter to further remove oil vapor.
  2. system monitoring
    • on-line monitoring: Install a residual oil sensor to provide real-time warning of excessive oil content.
    • regular testing: Entrust a third-party laboratory to conduct periodic oil testing.

5. Industry significance

  • medical safety: Oil pollution may cause patient respiratory infections or equipment failures, and the 0.003 standard significantly reduces the risk.
  • product quality: In electronics, pharmaceutical and other industries, oil-free air can avoid product pollution and improve the yield rate.
  • equipment life: Clean air reduces wear on pneumatic components and extends equipment maintenance cycles.

By adopting the standard of 0.003 oil residue in compressed air, companies can ensure that they can achieve oil residue in key areas.Zero oil pollution, provides dual guarantees for production safety and product quality.
