Last week we discussed how air compressors are rated in performance using variations of CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute).
The article discussed keeping the performance stats consistent for comparison. However, even if various air compressors are listed in the same specification units – how do you know for certain the unit performance you’re being given is an accurate number?
For those of you unfamiliar – enter CAGI. CAGI stands for compressed air & gas institute. Reputable manufacturers that offer products within CAGI’s area are members of CAGI. A great service that CAGI started many years ago is having compressor manufacturers submit compressor performance data to CAGI which is then verified.
With this tool available you can be assured the data you receive is accurate.
You can find the starting point for verification at the following link:
If you have any question feel free to contact CAGI or myself to discuss.
