Air
Compressor Applications. Home Use : Compressed-air
power tools can dramatically decrease the amount
of time spent on a project. Many homeowners will
use smaller, portable units (either hand-carried
or wheeled) that move easily from the garage to
the house, yard or roof. Common air tools such
as brad nailers, reversible drills, and impact
wrenches require about 0–5 CFM (Cubic feet
per minute — units in which air flow is
measured). It's important to know if the compressor
you purchase will drive the air tool you'll need
for your project. For example, smaller air nailers
run on 2 to 5 CFM at 70 to 90 PSI, while larger
shears, sanders and polishers require up to 10
or more CFM and 100 to 120 PSI.
Business
Use : Air compressors used for business/professional
applications are often classified “industrial
grade.” They're packed with features that
let you take on more demanding jobs with more
horsepower, more CFM, more PSI and more (longer)
run times. Though some industrial-grade compressors
are portable, many are stationary units with large-capacity,
ASME certified air tanks (up to 120 gallons),
greater HP, more CFM air volume and faster recovery
time to run a wide variety of air tools for as
long as you need them to do the job.
