determining CFM of a compessor

[kelpaso1]

I have a pretty decent compressor that's about 10 years old but I don't know what the cfm is. It's not in the manual or anywhere on the compressor. Any way to get a good guesstimate?
Here is what I got on the compressor.

Compressor Brand name FORCE. 60 gal
V-twin pump (Eagle?) No markings or stampings anywhere (unless on the bottom). Made in Canada?
Motor- 208/230v 15 amps (3 or 4 HP depending on what online calculator I use).

Here's pics.

This was pretty much dead on when compared to the rated cfm of my compressor.

Thanks. According to that site I get 9.35 CFM from 112-135 PSI in 1 min 24 sec pumping time.

Anyone know where the actual model number is on this pump? The manual does not have a parts diagram for it.

I'd try going from 0 to when it shuts off and see what you get.

They make good compressor packages. Friend used to work there and I saw various paint colors and specs on a lot of compressors including Snap-ON.... and not the ones they sell at Costco.
Why not give them a call.....
