Quality Air Service is pleased to announce that Phoenix Controls air stations, in addition to being NIST traceable, are now NIST accredited through The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP).  NVLAP is a US government agency administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is chartered “to accredit public and private laboratories based on their technical qualifications and competence to carry out specific calibrations or tests”. This is an important achievement as Phoenix Controls is now the only air valve manufacturer with NIST accredited calibration procedures and equipment.

Many Venturi valve and terminal box manufacturers claim they are NIST traceable simply by showing their instruments were calibrated by other instruments that are traceable to a NIST Standard. NIST Accredited means that Phoenix Controls air stations passed a specific set of calibration standards per ISO/IEC 17025. The testing was performed by an independent lab, Colorado Experiment Engineering Station Inc. (CEESI), the only NIST Accredited lab for high flow volumetric airflow measurement. NIST Accreditation offers many benefits to the users of Phoenix valves including:

• Validity of test methods and valve calibration

• Peace of mind that the airflow rates delivered by Phoenix valves are accurate

• Increased safety in critical spaces

• Avoid expensive retesting

The Certificate of Valve Characterization has been updated to reflect that Phoenix Controls is now NVLAP Accredited.  Additionally, if a copy of the NVLAP certificate is required, it can be requested at the time of order entry.

Quality Air Service adds two new product lines!

January 23, 2013

Quality Air Service is proud to add Cypress Environmental Systems and Precision Air Products to our extensive line of high-quality vendors.  Both companies have named Quality Air Service as their representatives for the entire state of Michigan including eastern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

At Cypress Envirosystems, the goal is to help older plants and buildings save energy and improve productivity by adopting the latest automation technologies with a minimum of cost and disruption to existing equipment, processes and staff.  They specialize in technologies which can be installed with minimum disruption and expense such as the Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat, Wireless Gauge Reader or Wireless Steam Trap Monitor, all of which require minutes to install, cost a fraction of traditional solutions, and typically pay back within 18 months.

Precision Air Products has been designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing air quality management systems for critical environments, utilizing laminar flow with or without HEPA filtration, since 1974. PAP has provided best-in-class designs for the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries. From a corporate perspective, their primary focus and expertise is the hospital market; specifically Operating Rooms, as well as Special Procedure Rooms.

Products and systems include:

• Diffusers
• Integrated Ceilings
• Ultra-clean Air Systems
• Lami-Aire Gard
• Options & Accessories

Our website will soon be up-dated to include more information.  Contact us for if we can help you with these new product lines!

In a recent letter, TMI announced, “…that TMI Custom Air Systems will formally become TMI Climate Solutions, Inc.  The name change is an acknowledgement of the size, strength, and diversity of the entire TMI group, making TMI Climate Solutions, Inc the cornerstone of our branding worldwide.  Although our name is changing, we will continue to emphasize our core expertise in Custom Air Handlers, Advanced hydronic solutions, custom refrigeration products along withour service and mechanical service division.  We will also take advantage of the full range of TMI’s diversified capabilities and experience as one integrated organization.”
