Air Moving Products compressor

[iagsxr]

This AMP compressor was in the building that is now my shop when I bought it. It's been in my storage building for ten years. Thinking about wiring it up so I can have some air in there.

Can't find any info online, no cfm rating on the data plate. Anyone have an idea what this thing might put out at 90psi?

It is a 230 volt, 15 amp unit rated at 5 horse (really more like 4 1/2 rounded up). I would expect in the neighborhood of 16-18 CFM. After verifying operation change the pump oil, most likely 30w non detergent oil (oddly usually available at gas station convenience stores, sold for lawn mowers [I learned this here only recently]. Otherwise I usually buy NAPAs compressor oil.

Is that a single stage?

Looks like it to me.

So the rating plate says...

Ah, indeed. I thought it was saying it was single phase, but I see that's also listed separately.

Yeah, I'm sure it still has the oil in it it was shipped with based on the original owner.

Is that a single stage?

Yes, single stage pump. Guessing 120 psi max pressure.

140 according to the rating plate

I would guess that's what today would be listed as a 3hp compressor and probably delivers 10-12 CFM. The pump looks very similar to some of the Sandman pumps that were used on many branded compressors. That intake setup likely makes for a very loud pump.
Here's a picture where someone took a similar pump and created a blocking plate so they could use intake filter housings that helped reduce noise.

140 is the tank rating. The pump is rated at 120.

15 amp motor, I would say 12 CFM tops. probably a little less.

Look here, it lists that model number, 10 CFM.
