Delivery versus Discharge Pressure and Air Consumption
Performance Curves
A pump’s ability to deliver fluid is based on the pressure (psi/Bars) and quantity
(cfm/lpm) of air supplied to the motor and the amount of fluid discharge [back] pressure to be
overcome within the system.
This chart contains curves based on three different air pressures.
The curves relate delivery in gallons (liters) per minute (X axis) to air consumption in cubic
feet (liters) per minute (right Y axis) and to fluid discharge pressure in psi/Bars (left Y axis).
