Abstract

Air leakage from pneumatic fittings can be prevented if the designer considers all factors that may contribute to leakage. System efficiency can be compromised if a leakage occurs resulting in a drop in pressure. Designing a compressed air system involves specifying exact air fittings, knowing the properties of the material used in construction, choosing the fitting's shape and configuration and designing the seal.<br />Technology has cured oil leaks, but air leakage is still ignored. Here are some components that can help Just as hydraulic fittings have been designed to prevent leakage, so have [...]
