Air Receiver Capacities
If your tank is not listed in the table to the right, use the
following formula to calculate the tank size (gallons) and then
estimate the cubic feet tank capacity at a given pressure from
the table above.
Height and Radius are in inches
Tank Gallons = Tank Height x (Tank Radius)2

PSI = pressure in pounds/square inch
CFM = air flow in cubic feet/minute
+ pressure loss is too great and therefore the combination of Hose Size, CFM, and Gauge Pressure is not recommended. Gauge
Pressures the indicated air pressure in pounds/square inch, at the source (i.e. the air compressor receiver tank)
