how do you calculate the cfm of a compressor
(OP)
i,m an intern at a manufacturing company. i,m suppose to findout the cfm of the compressors in my department. my supervisor believes he could use the cfm of compressors to determine what size dryer would work properly along with the compressor.
i already know that i could use an anemometer, however; its a small company and we don't have one. i am therefore seeking a formula or some other method of determination.
if there are any other ways to find the proper size dryer for a compressor.

i looked through a catalog and saw that the compressors there all had thier cfm stated. Maybe it is a new thing to do that.
My original question still stands, can the cfm be calculated?
i saw a couple formulae for piston types, but i have never seen any for vane types. If anyone knows a formulae or any way to determine the cfm, please respond.

So if you know how many HP your compressor is you can use this formula to calculate SCFM.
1 HP = 4 SCFM
