What is the mpa of compressed air for general industrial use

The pressure of compressed air for general industrial use is usually between0.6MPa to 0.8MPa (i.e. 6 kg to 8 kg per square centimeter)between. This pressure range can meet the needs of most industrial applications, but the specific pressure value will vary depending on the type and performance of different industrial fields, air equipment, and air compressor.

Industrial demand for compressed air pressure

  1. Machinery manufacturing and automobile maintenance
    • These industries often require higher compressed air pressures to drive pneumatic tools, spraying equipment, automation equipment, etc. The pressure range may be between 0.6MPa and 1.0MPa, depending on equipment requirements.
  2. Food processing and textiles
    • These industries have relatively low requirements for compressed air pressure and are mainly used for cleaning, drying, transportation and other processes. The pressure range may be between 0.4MPa and 0.7MPa.
  3. chemical and pharmaceutical
    • These industries have strict requirements on the quality and pressure of compressed air to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the production process. The pressure range may vary depending on the specific process, but is usually between 0.5MPa and 0.8MPa.

Types and performance of air compressors

  1. screw air compressor
    • Screw air compressors are highly efficient, stable and reliable, and are widely used in various industrial fields. Its output pressure range is usually between 0.6MPa and 1.3MPa and can be adjusted as needed.
  2. piston air compressor
    • Piston air compressors are simple in structure and easy to maintain, making them suitable for small industrial applications. Its output pressure range may be wide, from low pressure to high pressure, but common working pressures range between 0.6MPa and 1.0MPa.
  3. centrifugal air compressor
    • Centrifugal air compressors are suitable for large flow, medium and low pressure occasions, such as large factories, power plants, etc. Its output pressure range is usually between 0.3MPa and 0.8MPa.

Industry standards and recommended values

  • In certain industrial areas, such as machinery manufacturing, automobile maintenance, etc., industry standards or recommended values may specify the pressure range of compressed air. These standards or recommended values are usually based on equipment manufacturer recommendations, industry experience, and safety considerations.

Practical cases and application scenarios

  • pneumatic tools: For wind cannons, pneumatic wrenches, etc., compressed air pressure of 0.6MPa to 0.8MPa is usually required.
  • spraying equipment: For example, paint guns, sandblasting machines, etc., higher pressures, such as 0.8MPa to 1.0MPa, may be required to ensure the spraying effect.
  • automation equipment: For example, robots, conveyor belts, etc., the required compressed air pressure depends on the specific design and application scenarios of the equipment.

precautions

  • Avoid excessive stress: Excessive output pressure may cause equipment damage, energy waste or safety hazards. Therefore, when selecting the output pressure of the air compressor, it should be selected based on actual needs and avoid being too high.
  • Ensure stable pressure: The stability of compressed air pressure has an important impact on the normal operation and production efficiency of gas-using equipment. Therefore, an air compressor with a stable output pressure should be selected, and the air compression system should be inspected and maintained regularly.
