Pressure vs Capacity The right type of air compressor for you, and the right model/size depends largely on the required pressure and capacity.

It’s important to know the difference between pressure and capacity, and how they work together.

They differ in capacity, pressure or options (but they are all rotary screw compressors).

To make sense of the available screw compressors available to you, I have created this overview.

Which type of air compressor is right for you The pressure you need The capacity you need.
