Operating an air compressor beyond its rated pressure can increase safety risks and accelerate equipment wear. This article examines the effects of overpressure on air receivers, piping, seals, pneumatic equipment, and energy consumption, and offers maintenance recommendations—including proper…
Pressure safety
The safe operating pressure of compressed-air piping should not be determined solely by empirical judgment; it must be verified in conjunction with the compressor’s rated discharge pressure, the pressure‑rating of the piping and associated components, the requirements of…
