, the highest pressure drops usually are found at the points-of-use, including undersized or leaking hoses, tubes, disconnects, filters, regulators and lubricators (FRLs). On... maintenance procedures should be followed and documented. Reduce the effective distance of the flow for air to travel through the system. Just like water in a garden hose the longer... the hose, the less water pressure at the end. It works the same with air. The pressure loss between the compressor and the end user tool comes from friction in the pipe. The...
