Re: VIAIR 250C-IG Compressor

You could probably use a pressure transducer and a known volume of airtanks to come up with a good estimation of flow rates for a compressor.

I think this method would be of somewhat limited usefulness.

Re: VIAIR 250C-IG Compressor

The leader line actually looks quite useful. This year we had a few pneumatics leaks and didn't realize until someone pointed out the compressor has been running like nonstop. Eventually the hose off the compression had melted down a little and make the leak much bigger.

Re: VIAIR 250C-IG Compressor

If anyone needs the CAD file for this compressor, I have taken the time to clean up the terrible STEP file VIAIR provides. Everything looks good except for the top component. The source STEP file is missing so many surfaces. I tried to get them to create a new STEP file, but did not have any luck. See attached.
