If you’ve been in the air compressor industry for any length of time, you’re likely familiar with the acronyms PSI (pressure), CFM (flow), and HP (power). These principles are essential in determining which size air compressor will fit your application – in fact, PSI, CFM, and HP are some of the most important elements to consider when selecting the best air compressor for your needs.
PSI, CFM, and HP are the three main ratings that showcase exactly what a compressor can do.
Things to Consider
No matter your application, it’s critical to understand the PSI, CFM, and HP that your application requires. This will ensure that your application receives sufficient air flow (CFM) at the correct pressure (PSI) – and that the air compressor is providing your pressure and flow as efficiently as possible.
