Re: Does the Norgren Pressure Regulator show working pressure or stored pressure?
As long as you are using a 3/4" dia., short(ish) stroke piston, you should be just fine with the compressor off board.
As an example:
We tested a 3/4" dia. 5" stroke piston on 60 PSI working pressure in 4 Clapard storage tanks. We only lost about 1 PSI per stroke. We were able to cycle the piston 25 times w/o much of an issue. The last 5 cycles were a bit weak.
