Match the calculation to the job
Workshop equipment uses several different capacity measures. Air delivery, pressure, bending geometry and torque describe different requirements; a larger headline number is not a substitute for the right specification.
- For pneumatic tools, start with their air demand and operating pressure, then consider hose length.
- For bending, distinguish tube outside diameter from pipe sizing and check compatible dies.
- Use equipment manuals and rated limits to confirm a selection before working.
