What is the pressure output by an air compressor in a general factory?

The output pressure of air compressors in general factories is0.6MPa to 0.8MPa (i.e. 6 kg to 8 kg per square centimeter)Between them is considered normal. However, please note that this range is not absolute, because the demand for compressed air pressure may vary from factory to equipment.

General range of factory air compressor output pressure

• Common pressure ranges: The output pressure of air compressors used in most factories ranges from 0.6MPa to 0.8MPa. This pressure range can meet the needs of most industrial applications, such as pneumatic tools, spraying equipment, automation equipment, etc.

• Pressure unit description：

  • MPa(MPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units, and 1MPa is equal to 1,000,000 Pascals (Pa).
  • Kilogram force per square centimeter(kgf/cm ²) is a non-International System of Units pressure unit commonly used in the industry. 1 kgf/cm ² is approximately equal to 0.0980665MPa.

Factors affecting the output pressure of air compressor

1. Plant type and gas demand：
   • Factories in different industries have different pressure requirements for compressed air. For example, industries such as machinery manufacturing and automobile maintenance may require higher pressure, while industries such as food processing and textiles may require lower pressure.
   • The specific air equipment in the factory can also affect the required compressed air pressure. For example, high-pressure spraying equipment may require higher pressures, while ordinary pneumatic tools may not.
2. Types and performance of air compressors：
   • Different types of air compressors (such as screw, piston, centrifugal, etc.) have different output pressure ranges.
   • The performance parameters of the air compressor, such as rated pressure, maximum working pressure, etc., are also important factors in determining the normal output pressure.
3. Pipeline resistance and pressure loss：
   • When compressed air is transmitted in a pipeline, pressure losses will occur due to factors such as pipeline resistance, valves, and joints.
   • Therefore, when designing an air compression system, factors such as pipe layout, pipe diameter, and materials need to be considered to reduce pressure losses and ensure that the gas-using equipment obtains sufficient pressure.

How to determine the appropriate air compressor output pressure

1. Assess gas demand：
   • Understand the pressure requirements of all gas equipment in the factory, including maximum working pressure, average working pressure, etc.
   • Consider possible future expansion needs and select an air compressor with appropriate margin.
2. Select the right air compressor type and specification：
   • Select the appropriate air compressor type (such as screw type, piston type, etc.) according to the air demand.
   • Select an air compressor with the appropriate pressure rating and maximum working pressure to ensure that it can meet the air demand.
3. Optimize air compression systems：
   • Reasonably design pipeline layout to reduce pipeline resistance and pressure loss.
   • Regularly inspect and maintain air compressors and piping systems to ensure normal operation and efficient performance.

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 avoided to be 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.
