Quality
How can you recognise a quality Air Receiver when not all Air Receivers are made equal?
Here are some tips to help out
Design Codes
At Abbott & Co. the Design Code used for vessels in our standard stock range is BS5169. Because of this the minimum steel thickness is 5mm.
PED compliant and CE marked
The steel thickness is shown on our Sales Drawings which we can send to you. This is because we are proud to be manufacturing a quality Air Receiver!
Does everyone else openly give you this information or even tell you the steel thickness?
We know there are cheaper inferior products out there, however don’t be misled you are getting an equivalent quality Air Receiver.
Corrosion Allowance
As already mentioned, we use a sensible steel thickness. As a result of this we are then able to offer a sensible corrosion allowance of 0.75mm on our standard stock vessels.
Are you starting to recognise a quality Air Receiver now?
Nice legs!
Do you appreciate this line up of lovely, stable, solid and robust legs? They are designed to keep those rather heavy Air Receivers with their feet planted firmly and safely on the ground.
We know those cheaper ‘tripod’ legs are sometimes used on Air Receivers; but come on now lets be serious! Surely the principles of sound engineering is about a sensible solid design?
Documentation
Quality can be in the detail, so ask questions!
We can produce Design Calcs, material Certs, weld plans, Test Certs etc. for our Air Receivers.
This is because each Air Receiver has been Designed and manufactured in house.
Our Management Systems are Certified and Approved by Lloyd’s Register to meet ISO 9001. This is Quality approval.
As we are based in Newark, Nottinghamshire, the factory is always open for you to visit. As we are proud of what we do there is nothing to hide.
