Choosing the right compressed air distribution system is essential for ensuring long-term efficiency, safety and reliability.
The Durapipe Girair® system has been engineered to meet the high performance demands of compressed air distribution networks, neutral gas and vacuum networks, offering a robust and sustainable solution for industrial environments.
Below, we explore the top ten benefits that make Durapipe Girair a trusted choice for modern installations.
1. Versatile Applications
Durapipe Girair is designed for multiple uses, offering a complete solution of pipes, fittings and valves, making it ideal for compressed air distribution networks, non-combustible neutral gas and centralised vacuum networks. Its flexibility enables it to support a range of industrial requirements within a single system. It is designed to withstand maximum working pressures of up to 12.5 bar at 25°C.
2. Corrosion Resistant
Unaffected by humidity, condensates and aggressive environmental conditions, Durapipe Girair maintains its integrity over time. This durability ensures the network stays clean, sound and airtight throughout its long working life.
3. Airtight Performance
Using a proven solvent-cement jointing method, Durapipe Girair networks maintain excellent airtightness. This helps preserve system efficiency and prevents air loss across the lifetime of the installation.
4. Energy Efficient
The smooth internal surface of Durapipe Girair pipes and the full-bore design of its fittings reduce load losses. This improves system efficiency and supports lower energy consumption within industrial operations.
5. Clean Air Quality
Thanks to its corrosion resistance and compatibility with most common compressor oils, Durapipe Girair helps maintain clean, uncontaminated airflow, a key requirement for sensitive processes.
6. High Impact Resistance
Durapipe Girair pipework offers excellent ductile behaviour, even at temperatures as low as -10°C. In the unlikely event of extreme impact, the ductility prevents dangerous splintering, supporting a safer working environment.
7. Outstanding Fire Performance
With a B-s1,d0 Euroclass rating - the highest classification for synthetic materials - Durapipe Girair delivers exceptional fire safety. It is non-flammable, produces no flaming drops and limits heat transfer along the network thanks to its thermal insulation properties.
8. Easy Network Identification
The distinctive blue RAL 5012 colour makes Durapipe Girair networks instantly recognisable, enabling quick and easy identification on site.
9. Fast, Efficient Installation
Lightweight components, simple tools and straightforward installation techniques help keep build times under control. With no need for a fire permit, the Durapipe Girair system is efficient to install and easy to manage.
10. Recycling Friendly
Durapipe Girair is over 98% recyclable, making it a sustainable choice that helps reduce environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards.
