How much is the pressure of the factory air supply?

The factory air source pressure is generally between 0.5 and 1.0 megapascals (MPa), and the specific value depends on the application scenario and equipment requirements.

1. Common air source pressure range

1. generic range：
   • 0.5~1.0MPa: Suitable for most pneumatic tools and equipment, such as pneumatic wrenches, cylinders, conveyor belts, etc.
   • main pipe pressure: Usually controlled at 0.7~0.8MPa to ensure stable air pressure supplied to the equipment.
2. Specific scenario requirements：
   • pneumatic tools: For example, polishers and paint guns, require6~8bar (approximately 0.6~0.8MPa)。
   • industrial processes: For example, precision machining and automated production lines may require1.0 ~ 1.2 bar (about 1.0~1.2MPa)。
   • special equipment: Certain high-pressure applications (such as hydraulic power units) may requireAbove 2.0MPa。

2. Influencing factors

1. equipment needs：
   • The working pressure of pneumatic equipment needs to match the air source pressure. Too low will lead to reduced efficiency, and too high may damage the equipment.
2. pipe pressure drop：
   • Pressure drop of compressed air from the air compressor to the equipment end will occur due to pipe friction, which is usually reserved0.1~0.2MPaCompensation.
3. environmental factors：
   • temperature: High temperature environments need to increase the pressure appropriately, and low temperature environments need to prevent condensation from occurring.
   • altitude: The air pressure in high altitude areas is low, so the output pressure of the air compressor needs to be adjusted.
4. safety standards：
   • Some industries (such as chemicals and petroleum) have strict regulations on gas source pressure and need to meet explosion-proof and fire-proof requirements.

3. Setting and management suggestions

1. pressure set：
   • Adjust the output pressure of the air compressor according to equipment needs to avoid energy waste and equipment loss.
2. regular maintenance：
   • Check for pipe leaks, blocked filters and other problems to ensure that the pressure is stable.
3. monitoring system：
   • Install a pressure gauge or sensor to monitor the air source pressure in real time, and alarm the abnormal situation in time.

IV. Summary

The setting of factory air source pressure requires comprehensive consideration of equipment requirements, pipeline pressure drop, environmental factors and safety standards. Reasonably selecting the pressure level of the air compressor and strengthening daily maintenance can not only ensure production needs, but also extend equipment life. If your factory has specific pressure requirements (such as high pressure or ultra-high pressure), it is recommended to consult the air compressor manufacturer for customized selection.
