Hello to one and all. In the Lab. where I work we are in the process of
up-grading much of our equipment. One of the items being removed is an
Atlas Copco compressor. I know this is a top make and the machine has had
very little use since it was installed in 1973, what I can't figure out is
how to gauge its output. I would normally look for the c.f.m rating, i.e
cubic feet per metre, which would need to be around 7 to be of any use to
your run of the mill home restorer. On this machine however I can find only
a rating in kp/cm2 and lb/in2, the former being a max of 10 and the latter
140. The second is obviously pounds per inch but what is the first and how
do both equate to c.f.m ???. Is this machine worth having????, It does have
a good sized tank at 150lt, all advice welcome.
