Air Compressor Size Calculator

Build a starting airflow requirement from the pneumatic tools you plan to use. The built-in tool figures are deliberately indicative – replace them with manufacturer data where you have it.

Step 1

Which air tools will you use?

Step 2

How will they be used?

Use the custom field to enter a known manufacturer CFM requirement or allow for another tool not listed.

YOUR RESULT

Your sizing starting point will appear here.

This is a planning calculator, not an installation specification

Indicative allowances vary by tool design. Before purchase, replace them with the actual manufacturer airflow and pressure data for your tools, verify the compressor’s delivered-air/FAD figure at the required pressure, and confirm electrical and installation requirements.

Understand the result

CFM is only one part of the system.

Receiver size, duty cycle, pressure, pipework, moisture treatment and electrical supply can all affect whether the installation works well.
