The Basics for Choosing the Right Air Compressor

Written by Jason Miller


Continued from page 1
The next rating criteria for air compressors is CFM. CFM stands for "cubic feet per minute". It is a measurement of volume. Basically it is how much air is being moved. Air tools require a certain amount of air volume to run on. PSI is just part of equation. Don't be confused by different CFM ratings at different pressures. Every manufacturer is trying to make their product look better by giving higher CFM ratings at different pressures. The only real concern is how much CFM you will get at 90 PSI. Remember 90 PSI is what most air tools require to operate. To find out what your air tool needs to run, just look onrepparttar box forrepparttar 150972 manufacturer’s specs. Generally, air tools require 4 - 6 CFM. A good rule of thumb on air compressors is you should get 3 -4 CFM per real HP at 90 PSI. The final factor to consider is tank size. Tank sizes are generally stated in US gallons. For example, 30 gallon is a common tank size. Sorepparttar 150973 question remains, how large a tank do I need? First of all, don't confuse a large tank with more run time for your air tools. If you use your impact intermittently, a large tank is fine. However if you have need for continuous use, you will need a small tank with big enough pump and motor. Ifrepparttar 150974 pump and motor are powerful enough, you shouldn't run out of air. You can save some dollars by purchasing an air compressor with a large tank and smaller motor for intermittent use. If you need to run a 1" impact wrench (about 20 CFM) intermittently, and have a small compressor with a large tank, you might have enough air stored inrepparttar 150975 tank to dorepparttar 150976 job. However, if you are constantly running your air tool, you will need to invest in a more powerful air compressor to dorepparttar 150977 job. You should be able to selectrepparttar 150978 air compressor armed with this information. Basically, you need to decide ultimately what you going to userepparttar 150979 unit for and pickrepparttar 150980 appropriate model.
