Breathing Air Quality Testing

CATR is trained to carry out air quality testing to determine the quality of breathing air systems in accordance with ASNZ 1715. All testing is caried out on site by trained technicians who can test the air and assess any contaminants found in the compressed air system to resolve them. Some test include industrial breathing air systems such as air hoods used for spray painting, airline systems with face masks used in confined spaces, pharmaceutical and chemical applications.

The test is carried out using an electronic reading for Oxygen, ambient and airline temperatures. Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and water levels are determined utilizing Drager chemical reagent tubes, whilst oil content can be measured using the new Drager Impactor.  Upon completion a certificate is issued with each test detailing the results and any corrective action that may be required.

Air quality testing should be carried out as a minimum of every 12 months on all breathing air equipment. To find out if your breathing air system requires testing, please call us on (07) 3275 1822
