What pressure should instrument air sources produce at a minimum?

Instrument air sources are essential for the proper operation of various medical and industrial equipment that rely on compressed air for functionality. The minimum pressure for instrument air sources is critical to ensure that the equipment operates efficiently and effectively.

Producing air at a minimum pressure of 200 PSI ensures that there is adequate force behind the air supply to power pneumatic tools and devices consistently. This pressure level allows for the necessary flow rate and volume of air needed to meet the operational requirements of the instruments connected to the compressed air system.

Having this pressure standard is also important for maintaining the integrity and reliability of medical air systems, as insufficient pressure could lead to failures in equipment operation or inadequate performance during critical procedures. Safety standards and guidelines often dictate maintaining this pressure to avoid complications or disruptions in medical operations.
