NATO Supply Class 4310 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 43, which is dedicated to Pumps And Compressors. Specifically, Class 4310 focuses on Compressors And Vacuum Pumps.
Compressors are mechanical devices that increase the pressure of a gas or air, while vacuum pumps are used to remove gas or air from a closed space, creating a vacuum. These types of equipment are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive.
Within Class 4310, you can find a wide range of compressors and vacuum pumps, including reciprocating compressors, rotary compressors, centrifugal compressors, diaphragm compressors, and various types of vacuum pumps such as rotary vane pumps, liquid ring pumps, and turbomolecular pumps.
These compressors and vacuum pumps are designed to meet specific requirements and applications, such as providing compressed air for pneumatic tools, powering HVAC systems, or creating a vacuum for scientific experiments or industrial processes.
When procuring or working with equipment in NATO Supply Class 4310, it is important to consider factors such as capacity, power source, operating pressure, flow rate, and compatibility with the intended application. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that the equipment meets the necessary safety and quality standards.
Overall, NATO Supply Class 4310 plays a vital role in categorizing and organizing compressors and vacuum pumps within the broader NATO Supply Group 43, facilitating efficient procurement and logistics operations for these essential equipment.
Includes Truck Mounted and Trailer Mounted Compressors.
Excludes Refrigeration Compressors (FSC 4130).
Note-This group excludes pumps and compressors designed for use on individual types of equipment, such as engine fuel pumps, aircraft propeller feathering pumps, fork lift operating pumps, compressors for operating gun turrets, and vehicular brake system compressors. Also excluded are items specially designed as or for use on fuel dispensing equipment. The FSC indexes and structure will govern the classification of these items permitted classification in a single class only.
