I have a dry compressor that states on a side sticker:
1.5 HP - 8CFM - max PSI 118, it certainly meets the PSI spec but 8CFM seems perhaps a high figure for the small motor? Can I check this by simply measuring the pumped output air volume over time at atmospheric pressure? I was thinking of trying a LPHV spray gun with this compressor (small jobs not a spray shop)... The spray gun spec says CFM 5 psi 40-ish but I dont know if this means 5CFM@40psi which would be a very different thing - or will they all be using atmospheric pressure as the volume standard ! Thanks C+- posted
