Intend buying a new Air Compressor, up to now have used an 8 bar
Clarke
model.
When do you need 10 bar? .... Assume it can't be for spraying as
here
it would be cfm that is important not an extra 2 bar of pressure.

At one time I needed to test out the air equipment of a commercial
vehicle the compressor of which developed around 150 psi (~ 10bar).
The normal line pressure at the operating depot was 10 bar. 8 bar
was just not enough to carry out satisfactory tests.

Next one I get will definitely be 10 bar.
