ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:
Compressor Duty Cycle refers to amount of time a compressor
can be operated in a given time period, at 100 PSI & at a
standard ambient temperature of 72°F.
Duty Cycle is commonly expressed as:
Compressor On Time / (Compressor On Time + Off Time)
As an example, a compressor that is rated for 20% duty cycle
means that compressor can be operated at 100 PSI @ 72°F
for 8 Minutes and rested for 32 Minutes.
8 min. on / (8 min. on + 32 min. off) = 20% Duty Cycle

ABOUT RATED WORKING PRESSURE:
To ensure trouble free service life of your compressor, always
operate compressor within rated working pressure of the
