Instt Air Consumption

This document provides an estimation of instrument air consumption rates for common types of pneumatic instruments, including control panel instruments, field instruments, and control valves. It lists the standard air consumption in sm3/h and SCFM for each instrument type to aid in preliminary sizing of instrument air systems. The document notes that manufacturer specifications should be used for final sizing and these estimates provide a conservative starting point only. It was prepared by a chemical engineer as a general reference for technically skilled readers to use at their own discretion.

Note: It is advisable to get instrument air consumption figures from the manufacturer/supplier of the particular pneumatic instrument. However, for preliminary sizing the above mentioned tabular values should provide a conservative estimate. The above values are for one instrument of the type mentioned.
