How to use this result

Use only after verifying end-use pressure requirements and correcting excessive pressure drop.

Rule-of-thumb input

The default percentage is editable and is not a guarantee for a real system.

Operational risk

Lowering pressure without a system assessment can disrupt production or hide distribution problems.

Important: Costs, codes, permits, inspection duties, accessibility rules, environmental requirements and insurance conditions vary by country, province or state, municipality, building use, equipment type, installation date and project scope. Qualified local professionals and the authority having jurisdiction must determine what applies. Compressed air stores substantial energy. Pressure vessels, piping, hoses, electrical equipment, hot surfaces, noise, condensate, moving machinery and inappropriate cleaning practices can cause serious injury or property damage. The site does not select compressor capacity, pressure, receiver volume, relief devices, piping materials, breathing-air treatment, lockout procedures or inspection requirements. Use qualified professionals, equipment manuals and the rules that apply at the facility.
