Litre per minute/FAD

[tysonn]

Is there a table that can convert LPM to FAD?Seen a comp that quotes 310 LPM.This is it,nice slow motor too.Unbranded mind.

LPM (Litres per minute) is not the same as FAD (Free Air Displacement). Do you mean a table to convert LPM to CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute)?

Yes sorry

Cfm

Just a guess but 3Hp on 240 volt, I would be guessing about 14 Cu Ft, pump is familier to 14 cu ft pumps.
But I could be miles wrong.So apologies, thought working pressure might be a bit higher?

1 CFM = 28.328 l / min
makes it 10.94 Cu Ft

Made in China compressor but had similar and not too bad. I think the output is probably about right 10cfm at working pressure.
Remember most compressor in the same price range will all be made in China anyway so you probably get slightly better value it not having "Clarke" Or Sealey written on it.

Nice slow motor and iron cylinders so should be ok for the money.

The compressor shown has a rating in displacement, not FAD, so as indicated above 310 LPM = 10.94 CFM, but displacement not FAD. So you can expect it to be about 8-9 CFM FAD, quite low for a 3hp twin cylinder unit. Bloody cheap though !
