    USEFUL FORMULAS FOR COMPRESSED AIR

    COMPRESSOR RPM = motor pulley pitch diameter X motor rpm


    compressor pulley pitch diameter

    MOTOR PULLEY pitch diameter = compressor pulley pitch diameter X compressor rpm
    motor rpm

    COMPRESSOR PULLEY pitch diameter = motor pulley pitch diameter X motor rpm
    compressor rpm

    MOTOR RPM = compressor pulley pitch diameter X compressor rpm


    motor pulley pitch diameter

    FREE AIR DISPLACEMENT = piston displacement X volumetric efficiency (%)

    REQUIRED PISTON DISPLACEMENT = free air


    vol. eff.

    GALLONS (volume) = cubic feet


    0.134

    CUBIC FEET = gallons


    7.48

    CU. FT. COMPRESSED AIR = cu. ft. free air X 14.7


    (psig X 14.7)

    CU. FT. FREE AIR = cu. ft. compressed air X (psig + 14.7)
    14.7

    TANK PUMP UP TIME (in minutes) = volume (gal) X (final pressure – initial pressure)
    7.48 X atmospheric pressure X pump capacity (cfm)

    BAR (pressure) = psig


    14.5

    INCHES OF WATER COLUMN = psig X 27.686

    PSI = inches of water X 0.03612 or inches of mercury X 0.4912

    INCHES OF MERCURY = psi X 2.036

    HP = kilowatts X 1.341

    KILOWATTS = HP X 0.7457
