How to Choose the Right Air Compressor
Power, duty cycle and noise level decide which compressor fits your workshop.
Start with the required air flow and working pressure, then add 15% margin for leakage and future expansion.
Match the duty cycle
Continuous production lines need screw compressors; intermittent work can use piston units.
Check the noise limit
Indoor installation usually requires a noise level below 70 dB(A) at one meter.
