Default Re: Air compressor

if you look around on websites about compressed air system design, they typically recommend installing pressure gages at various places in the system, i.e. the drop legs, for diagnosing such problems. your problem sounds odd if your description is accurate. usually the air will start at full pressure and die down a bit as its flowing, due to restrictions (couplings, elbows, small pipe, hose) causing friction with the moving air.
