How do I convert from SCFM to PSI?
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

How do I convert from SCFM to PSI?

I just installed a zero air generator and it calls for me suppling 5 SCFM out of it. Well I have a regulator and a gauge that measures PSI on the output and need to know how many psi to set the regulator at for 5 SCFH. Any help would be appreciated.

PSI & SCFM are not interchangeable terms.
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) measures pressure.
SCFM (Square Cubic Feet per Minute) measures volume.
You will need a gauge that measures volume for this task. I use a Dwyer Model #HFA-1-12 that measures from 2-12 SCFM. It is also rated to handle pressures up to 600 PSI (handle...not measure).
