Question

In high-pressure compressor discharge pressure is
1. 1 to 5 kg/cm2
2. 10 to 15 kg/cm2
3. 8 to 10 kg/cm2
4. 5 to 8 kg/cm2

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 10 to 15 kg/cm2

Explanation:

Classification of Compressor on basis of Discharge Pressure:

• Low Pressure air compressors – Discharge pressure less than or equal to 10 bar
• Medium Pressure air compressors – Discharge pressure in the range of 10 to 80 bar
• High Pressure air compressors – Discharge pressure above 80 bar

1 bar = 10⁵ Pa = 1.01972 kgf/cm²
