  • What is air pressure loss in PVC pipe

    I'm planning on running a pvc pipe from my air compressor in the garage to my workshop in the basement.
    The compressor is 6gal, 135 psi
    SCFM @ 40 PSIG is 3.7
    SCFM @ 90 PSIG is 2.6
    I'm planning on a run of 100 feet
    I planned on using 1/2 inch PVC

    What would the pressure be at my outlet in the basement?
    Would going up to 3/4 inch PVC increase PSI output?

    Thanks in advance

    look into minor/major losses


    also, bigger your pipe = less pressure.
