The CGA is a standard developed by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) for the fit of the attachment of a compressed gas cylinder to a regulator or transfer line. It is based on the type of gas used. There are over a dozen CGA fittings, all with a specific purpose. The CGA fitting used for compressed air, for example, is CGA-590.

What is a CGA fitting?

CGA stands for the Compressed Gas Association. A CGA fitting is standardized system for the attachment of a compressed gas cylinder to the required regulator or transfer line. Examples of CGA fittings would be CGA-580 for Non-flamable, Non-oxidizing gasses such as Nitrogen, Argon, or Helium. CGA-590 is used for compressed air and CGA-326 is used for Nitrous Oxide. There are approximately a dozen commonly used CGA-fittings, with others used for special purposes. These welding fittings are typically used for welding applications, but can extend to other application such as medical and other gas uses. The fitting standards are designed to make the gas connections leak tight and also prevent different fittings from being mixed up. For example, flamable gas fittings have a left hand thread fittings. Oxygen and inert gases have right hand thread fittings. Since a left hand thread fittings cannot be threaded onto a right hand fitting, it is impossible to connect the fuel gas to the oxygen and vise versa. It is easy to determine whether the fitting is a left hand or right hand thread. The left hand fittings all have a small cut or slash on the nut of the fitting that denotes the left hand thread.

What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?

A compressed air dryer is used to remove moisture from compressed air to prevent corrosion, damage to equipment, and contamination of processes. By reducing the moisture content in the compressed air, the dryer helps ensure the efficiency and reliability of pneumatic systems.


Does compressed air sink more than non compressed air?

No, compressed air does not sink more than non-compressed air. In general, air behaves as a fluid, so its behavior is primarily governed by factors like temperature and pressure. Compressed air will tend to disperse and rise in a less dense environment, while non-compressed air will behave similarly.

No, compressed air cannot penetrate the skin.


How is compressed air made?

Compressed air is made by using an air compressor to increase the pressure of the surrounding air. The air compressor takes in large volumes of air and reduces its volume by compressing it, resulting in high-pressure compressed air. This compressed air can then be stored in tanks or used for various applications.

What is compressed air propullsion?

The easiest way to describe compressed air propulsion: Blow air into a ballon (compress the air) then release the balloon. The balloon will take off (propulsion) due to the compressed air within.
