The flow rate specified on an air compressor’s nameplate is typically given in cubic meters per minute, but this actually refers to the volumetric flow rate under standard conditions—commonly referred to as “standard cubic meters.” This article provides…

Displacement and discharge pressure are the two fundamental parameters for selecting an air compressor. Volumetric flow rate characterizes the air supply capacity, while discharge pressure determines the performance of the actuator. These two parameters are subject to a…
