Ratings based on a 25% load factor – tools running 25% of the time.
- 1 psi (lb/in2) = 6,894.8 Pa (N/m2) = 6.895×10-3 N/mm2 = 6.895×10-2 bar
- 1 cfm (ft3/min) = 1.7 m3/h = 0.47 l/s
Do not to use the coiled type air hose on high air consumption air tools like air impact wrenches
Poor performing compressed air tools are quite common at industrial sites. The tools may lack torque, and even stall if any significant load placed on them. This lack of output could be reducing your production output and therefore be costing you money.
What if the air pressure is correct and doesn’t seem to be the problem? One other thing to consider is tool maintenance. Many people do not realize that many compressed air tools need to lubricated at a regular period to prevents internal wear and helps seal internal moving parts from blow-by leakage. Please read the tool manual for lubrication guideline.
