Air Compressor Fill Time Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Air Compressor Fill Time.
FT = CV / FR
Variables:
- FT is the Air Compressor Fill Time (minutes)
- CV is the total container volume (ft^3)
- FR is the total air compressor flow rate (CFM)
How to Calculate Air Compressor Fill Time?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Air Compressor Fill Time.
- First, determine the total container volume (ft^3).
- Next, determine the total air compressor flow rate (CFM).
- Next, gather the formula from above = FT = CV / FR.
- Finally, calculate the Air Compressor Fill Time.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total container volume (ft^3) = 300
total air compressor flow rate (CFM) = 20
FT = CV / FR = ?
