Default Time to fill air compressor tank, ? standards?

I recently purchased a used compressor and when I cranked it up the
first time it seemed to take longer than I expected to reach a full
tank @ 100psi. My prior compressor did have a smaller tank but also
had a smaller compressor size. Are there any standards of how fast a
compressor that does about 10 scfa/m @90psi should take to fill a 25
gal tank?


25 gallons is 3.34 cubic feet.

What's "scfa"?
