Compressed Air CFM Calculator

Build your equipment list, set quantity and duty cycle, and get an estimated CFM requirement, compressor size, and receiver tank size for your system.

This calculator is a guide, not a specification. Tavoron recommends a site visit and air audit to confirm the proper compressor package for your application.

1. Add your air-consuming equipment

Consumption figures are typical free-air values at 90 PSIG.

2. Set quantity and duty cycle

3. System conditions
