Air Compressor:
How to calculate the compressor air pipe size?
The required pipe size for an air compressor depends on two factors: the distance of the application and the volume of air being carried to the endpoint. If the pneumatic tools are located halfway across the factory floor, you will need a different pipe size than you would for an application situated three feet away from the air compressor. Likewise, the diameter of the pipe could differ if the application is high-intensity, as opposed to low-intensity.
