Thanks James for the heads-up. Compressed air limits are:
  • Max supply pressure = 60 psig
  • Solenoid Cv = 0.35
  • Compressor capacity = 1.05 SCFM (says CFM in the rules ???)

My pressure required at the cannon will be less than 10 PSI = 50 PSIG dP. If I'm doing the air Cv calc right, I get between a bit over 10 SCFM.

I'm also looking at high pressure blower feasibility (~ 8 PSIG). Any thoughts on that legality?
