When setting up a compressed air system, the selection of pipe size becomes way more important than anyone could imagine. A pipe that is too small reduces air pressure, and one that is too big would be unnecessarily expensive for the system. Therefore, sizing piping for compressed air systems is essentially all about finding an optimum middle ground.
Let’s break this down in the easiest way possible.
