Compressed Air Best Practices - November 2008 - (Page 11) Focus Industry STEEL & METALS | 11–12/08 | Supply Side Audit Setting the Baseline for Flow and Pressure The following actions were taken to establish the baseline for flow and pressure. 1. Temperature readings were taken on all units with an infrared surface pyrometer. Critical pressures including inlet and discharge were measured with a single Ashcroft digital calibrated test gauge. Flow was measured and logged from the compressor room with the existing plant flow meters and logged with plant equipment. Flow was measured and recorded by Air Power personnel and equipment with Eldridge or Sage thermal mass, heated wire-type meters and logged with an MDL multi-line data logger. These were installed at five pre-selected points. The same basic measurement and logging was carried out for the system pressure using an Ashcroft pressure transducer and the same multi-line data logger. 2. 3. 4. 5. 11 http://www.mcintireco.com http://www.mcintireco.com
