The compressors in the table are sorted by tank capacity. The calculator below uses the same data, with a few common tools to choose from; the full calculator has every tool.

What to look at

Parkside data come from Lidl’s German pages (lidl.de); availability in other countries is not verified. Empty cells: figure not declared in the documents we have read.

Tool and hose

The tool
Next to each tool, consumption and pressure from the manufacturer’s sheet. If yours is missing, choose “other” and enter them.

Where do I find it?

In the tool’s sheet or manual, as “air consumption” in l/min. If it is in l/s multiply by 60; if in CFM multiply by 28.3.

The air hose

How do I find it?

Air hoses are usually given as inner × outer, e.g. 8 × 12 mm: use the first number. Narrow quick couplers add losses not included here.

Result

Choose a tool (or enter consumption and pressure) and the hose length and diameter to see the estimates.

Assumptions: delivered air and consumption as declared by manufacturers, in litres per minute of free air; air at 20 °C; smooth hose; quick couplers, filters and reducers not included, so pressure at the tool will be a little lower. Intake air never counts as delivered air: it serves only as a limit, because a piston compressor always delivers less than it takes in. Tank time runs from a full tank at maximum pressure until the pressure falls to the required one: the lower value counts only the air in the tank (the motor may restart only after a pressure drop that manufacturers do not declare), the higher one adds the delivered air at that pressure; the calculation assumes constant temperature, so times are estimates. “Enough air” only means that the delivered air declared at that pressure covers the consumption. The motor duty cycle counts where it is declared: with “S3 25%” the motor may run at most 25% of each cycle, so on average it gives at most 25% of its intake air; if the tool needs more, sustained continuous use goes beyond the cycle. That the cycle is respected cannot be proven: it depends on the pressure at which the switch restarts the motor, which manufacturers do not declare. Air quality (oil, condensate, impurities) and the tool’s other requirements are not assessed: we show the air required by the tool’s manufacturer and the compressor’s lubrication when they are declared. No extrapolation beyond declared values. How we calculate and what we do not know
