What is the general pressure of air compressor

The pressure of the air compressor usually varies according to its type, specification and usage scenario. The following are some common air compressor pressure ranges:

1. classified by pressure level

1. low pressure air compressor:

   • the working pressure is usually between 0.7 and 1.2 MPa (megapascals), that is, 7 to 12 bar.
   • Suitable for scenarios with lower pressure requirements, such as light pneumatic tools, spraying equipment, etc.

2. Medium pressure air compressor:

   • the working pressure range is usually between 1.2 and 3 MPa (megapascals), I .e. 12 to 30 bar.
   • Suitable for applications with medium pressure requirements, such as production line pneumatic tools, pneumatic conveying systems, etc.

3. High pressure air compressor:

   • the working pressure usually exceeds 3 MPa (megapascals), that is, more than 30 bar.
   • It can meet the application scenarios that require high-pressure gas supply, such as high-pressure gas cylinder inflation, air tightness test, etc.

2. classified by air compressor type

1. miniature air compressor:

   • the pressure is usually between 1 and 5 bar.
   • Mainly used for pneumatic tools, pneumatic valves and other equipment to provide power.

2. Light air compressor:

   • the pressure is usually between 5 and 10 bar.
   • It is widely used in industrial manufacturing processes, such as providing power for various industrial valves, blowing dust, sandblasting, etc.

3. Medium air compressor:

   • the pressure is usually between 10 and 20 bar.
   • It is widely used in factories, mines, construction and other fields to provide sufficient power for various pneumatic equipment.

4. Heavy duty air compressor:

   • the pressure can be up to 25 to 30 bar.
   • It is mainly used for large industrial equipment, such as large pneumatic tools, large valves, etc., which require higher air pressure to drive.

3. special application scenarios

• aerospace field: Because the aerospace field has very high requirements for components, the air compressor needs to provide higher air pressure to meet its process requirements.
• medical field: Air compressors are mainly used for ward oxygen inhalation, dental equipment, anesthesia machines, operating tables and other equipment. The output pressure range is relatively low to ensure the requirements of medical gas flow and purity.

It should be noted that the pressure range given above is only for general reference, and an appropriate pressure setting needs to be determined according to specific application scenarios, equipment specifications and manufacturer's suggestions in actual use. Excessive pressure may lead to increased equipment loss and safety hazards, while too low pressure may affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, when using the air compressor, please be sure to follow the relevant operating procedures and safety specifications.
