Notes:
1.) Correction factors are approximate and shown for single stage com-
pressors .
2.) For two stage compressors use the interstage pressure to find the
correction factor.
3.) This chart does not allow for air tools which require more free air at
altitiudes above sea level.
4.) To find the capacity of a compressor at a given altitude, multiply the
rated capacity of the compressor by the factor corresponding to the
altitude and discharge pressure. The result will be the actual capacity
(CFM) of the compressor at the given altitude.
