Default Chinese CFM ? -- Compressor

Anyone here know of a table or spreadsheet anywhere online that will
allow you to estimate the actual approximate CFM rating of a
compressor?


Volume (of tank) * pressure (in tank; value in bar) = aspirated volume.
If the tank is pressure-less, start your stopwatch, stop it when it is
full.
Divide aspirated volume by that time (in minutes).
That's only a guesstimate, because efficency will decrease with rising
pressure and the formula also doesn't consider rise of temperature. But
you have a good ballpark.
