Materials for Compressed Air & Gas Distribution Systems
Ensuring Excellent Performance
At ADG Concepts, we specialize in selecting the ideal materials for industrial piping systems, with a particular emphasis on the advantages of extruded aluminum. This material stands out for its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making it a preferred choice for many applications.
However, we recognize that each project is unique. Our expertise extends to knowing when to use alternative materials like galvanized steel, black iron, or stainless steel, tailoring solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients. Our commitment is to deliver optimal, customized piping systems that align precisely with each project’s unique operational requirements, ensuring both quality and satisfaction.
The Benefits of Extruded Aluminum
Extruded aluminum offers several advantages over materials like black iron, stainless steel, and copper, especially in certain applications. Here’s a breakdown of its benefits compared to each of these materials.
Modularity
During the install phase black iron and galvanized steel must to cut and threaded, stainless steel must be welded, and copper soldered; all of these tasks are laborious and time consuming. Such tasks slow the installation process extensively, whereas extruded aluminum utilize a compression fittings. This technology along with the lightweight nature of Aluminum increase the speed of install dramatically.

This technology along with the lightweight nature of aluminum increase the speed of install dramatically.
Superiority Over Other Materials
Whereas galvanized, black iron, and stainless steel are welded aluminum on the other hands is manufactured in a continuous, seamless extrusion. This means there are no weld seams at any diameter, resulting in a stronger and more reliable pipe. This seamless nature minimizes the risk of leaks and maintains integrity under various conditions.
Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide coating and is highly resistant to corrosion. Black iron, on the other hand, is susceptible to rust if not properly treated or maintained. Extruded Aluminum is treated with an inner and outer coating that makes it highly resistant to oxidation.
Recyclability
Aluminum is significantly easier to recycle than most other metals, making it an environmentally friendly option. Its recyclability does not compromise its quality, which is essential for sustainable industrial practices.
Lightweight Nature
Aluminum is the lightest among common piping materials, which translates into speed and ease of installation. This lightweight characteristic reduces labor costs and installation time, making it a cost-effective choice.
Weight
Aluminum is much lighter than black iron, stainless steel, and copper making it easier to handle and less expensive to transport.
Extrusion
The process of making aluminum is done through extrusion rather than welding making the overall piping stronger and more robust.
Cost-Effectiveness
Generally, aluminum is less expensive than stainless steel and copper.

A Deeper Dive Into Compressed Air System Installation
Planning and Design. The cornerstone of any successful compressed air system begins here. Integrating the nuances of both manufacturing and construction, this phase ensures the design of your system aligns seamlessly with your facility’s requirements. Through a combination of site assessments, engineering, and data-driven decisions, we ensure that your system will operate at its peak, meeting operation’s demand, and energy efficiency targets.
Piping Considerations: Piping isn’t just about linking components—it’s about ensuring the lifeblood of your compressed air system flows without a hitch. Factors like optimal diameter, pipe material, and design considerations come into play. Determining the best piping system to manage air quality and flow requirements is critical. This isn’t just about ensuring minimal pressure drop or air flow rate, but also about ensuring air quality. With the correct planning and engineering, we ensure the longevity and performance of your piping system.
Equipment & Component Positioning: Strategic placement is paramount. We take into consideration all factors in creating ideal conditions for your compressor room.
