Gas compressors pressurize and circulate gas through a system to provide the gas for control systems, to enhance chemical reactions or to maintain correct system pressure. Gas compressors operate at pressures ranging from 1,500 to 60,000 psi (pounds per square inch). Gas compressor equipment includes the gas compressor and a number of related parts and supplies. If your business uses gas compressors, you might stock up on these supplies.
Gas compressors come in a variety of sizes, usually measured by flow capacity, and for a number of purposes, such as a gas jack compressor for oil fields. Among the supplies for industrial gas compressor equipment are pumps, filters, coolers and gas recovery systems. Supplies for a compressor for a breathing air system includes filters, controls, storage tanks, and a containment filling station.
