equation problem???
 
1psi is equivalent to how many cc/min or Lb/hr???...

i think 1 psi is equal to 1 pound per square inch :D

if or how you can get cc/min or lbs/hour I don't know ???

or maybe I just don't wanna think too hard

it may also depend on the rate at which the pressure is applied and the volume of the container it is contained in. In other words you hurt my head now so i say, good day.

Your kinda comparing apples and oranges. Pressure and flow are two different properties.

1psi in a 10 inch pipe has a different flow than 1psi in a 1 inch pipe so there's no direct link between pressure and flow.

^^^ word.

except I think it is apples and banannas, maybe kumquats

like he said psi is pressure the other two are flow, as in how much stuff is moving, pressure is how hard the stuff is pushing. Wow $40K on engineering school and thats what I know I'm in trouble.

if you're trying to read a compressor map you're doing it all wrong.

the correct way would be to find your psi on the map at your flow rate and see where it lands on your compressor map, there was a thread on it a while back, it's some complicated stuff, but I got it after a while, so you can too.
