The pressure of the factory gas source is not a fixed value, but is determined according to specific application requirements and equipment specifications. The following are some common air supply pressure ranges and considerations:
- common pressure range:
- the commonly used air pressure range in the factory is usually between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa. This range is widely applicable to many pneumatic tools, automation equipment and other general applications.
- Application-specific air pressure requirements:
- for certain applications, a higher gas pressure may be required. For example, heavy machinery, pneumatic fixtures, or specific process equipment may require a gas pressure of 1.2 MPa or more.
- Conversely, for certain lightweight applications, only lower gas pressures, such as 0.5 MPa or less, may be required.
- Setting of air supply pressure:
- the air supply pressure of the air compressor is usually slightly higher than the requirements of the equipment to compensate for the pressure drop loss in the pipeline.
- The pressure of the air compressor station in the factory is generally controlled at about 0.8 MPa to ensure that the air source pressure supplied to the equipment is within a suitable range, such as 0.6~0.7 MPa.
- Other Considerations:
- the specific layout of the factory, ventilation conditions, pipe material and pressure capacity will also affect the setting of the air supply pressure.
- In some industries, such as food processing, there are particularly high requirements for cleanliness and pressure stability of gas sources to ensure food safety and product quality.
In summary, the pressure of the factory air source is a relatively flexible range, which needs to be determined according to specific application scenarios and equipment requirements. In actual operation, the factory should adjust and optimize the air supply pressure setting according to its specific production needs and equipment specifications.
