If you have quick connects, check the pressure coming off your tank. Now,
with THE SAME GAUGE, check the pressure at the end of the hose. There's
your answer.

That will only give you static pressure. Since you use dynamic pressure
you need to measure that. You would also need a "T" at the end of the hose
and measure it with the various tools connected. A sand plaster is going to
have a lower dynamic reading, but a nail gun is likely to have almost no
loss.


I don't believe there would be any appreciable loss of flow, although
I am no expert. It will be nice to hear from someone who actually is
in the compressor business to give us the 100% for sure answer.

In the oilfield, we would run hundreds of feet of hose, but then, we
had a big Schram compressor backing it up.
