CFM

  • Cubic feet per minute

  • One horsepower will provide about 4 cubic feet of compressed air at 100 pounds per square inch—a 10 HP compressor will provide approximately 40 CFM.

  • Compressor ROM = motor pulley diameter X motor RPM compressor pulley diameter

PSI

  • Pounds per square inch

Proper Lubrications

  • Oil - Piston Compressors - Use a 30W non-detergent compressor oil.

  • Oil - Rotary Compressors - It is highly recommended that all rotary compressors use synthetic lubricants.
