Air Receiver Tank Sizing

Air receiver tank sizing calculator.

Undersized receiver tanks cause compressors to short-cycle, wasting energy and killing motor life. Oversized tanks waste floor space and capital. This calculator finds the right volume fast.

Enter compressor output CFM, cut-in and cut-out pressures, allowable pressure drop, and cycles per hour. Calculates required volume in gallons and cubic feet, recommends the nearest standard ASME tank size, and shows hold time at full draw.

WHAT IT CALCULATES:

• Required receiver volume (gallons and cubic feet)
• Nearest standard ASME tank size
• Hold time at full demand
• Cycle rate verification

KEY FEATURES:

• ASME standard tank size recommendations
• Cut-in/cut-out pressure differential
• Short-cycle prevention sizing
• Works completely offline
• No account or login required

Built for compressed air system designers, plant engineers, and industrial maintenance teams.
