    Determining an equiv. scfm value for leaks

    After pressuzing my air receiver to 120psi, I turned off the two air compressors and watched how quickly the receiver pressure dropped: - after ~0:35 (35 secs), pressure had dropped to 80psi; - after ~1:10, pressure had dropped to 60psi; - after ~2:20, pressure had dropped to 40psi. Note...

    How to calculate ave scfm for vane compressor

    Hi guys, Rotary vane compressor with 30kW rated motor. I measured the power consumption over a 24 hour period, and can therefore calculate the average kW consumed for that period. I also know the servo valve setting. The compressor is rated at 165cfm. How can I determine the average scfm...

    Discharge Coefficient for a 1/4" hose

    I'm trying to determine the flow rate for compressed air escaping to the atmosphere via an orifice of known diameter. Through my search of the web, I managed to come across this link... http://www.air-dispersion.com/msource.html It's exactly what I was looking for. With one exception. It...

    Suggestions on Choosing a Power Analyzer

    Could someone suggest a power quality analyzer for the measurement of harmonics & energy? I have no budget as yet - simply looking for one which is reliable, rugged & preferably lightweight. Also, it must be able to datalogger upto 4 current and 4 voltage channels. I've heard good things...

    CFM and mass flow rate for compressed air

    I apologize if this seems a bit basic to some of you. My 1st question is this: Say, for example, I have a piece of equipment whose pneumatic valves are consuming 10cfm of compressed air at 100psi. Now, if the pressure is then increased to 120psi, will the actual flow rate increase...
