Compressor Head vs Power Rating: What to Compare

Buyers often compare compressor horsepower, but the air actually delivered is what determines whether the machine meets the job.

Power vs Flow

Motor power describes the input, while free air delivery describes the output, and the gap between them is the efficiency.

Why Flow Matters More

Two machines with the same power can deliver different airflow, so compare flow at the same pressure before deciding.

Reading the Specifications

Check free air delivery at working pressure, along with specific power, to judge true value and running cost.
