Good afternoon Ladies & Gents,
A question about the effect of air pressure on compressed air supply hoses.
On the web site: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-altitude-pressure-25_462.html the absolute air pressure at 0 feet and 8000 feet, are given as 14.696 and 10.91 psi respectively - a reduction of around 25% when moving from sea level to 8000 feet.
If a compressed air system that operates at 100psi at sea level, is taken to 8000 feet, would the connecting air hoses be experiencing the stress equivalent to 125psi at sea level?
Thanks
Dave
