Max. pressure

The maximum pressure provided by the pump or compressor — in other words, the highest tyre pressure that can be achieved using this unit.

In most models, this figure is from 2.5 to 10 atm, and in mechanical pumps (manual and foot, see "Type") pressure of more than 10 atm is practically not found at all. This is due to the fact that even for heavy trucks, the optimal tyre pressure is usually about 5 – 9 atm (depending on a number of parameters — there are special formulas and tables for calculations); and in passenger car tyres, a pressure of more than 2.5 atm is extremely rarely used. However, there are compressors with higher pressure parameters — 11 – 15 atm, 16 – 20 atm and even higher. The meaning of such characteristics is mainly in the "power reserve": a higher working pressure contributes to faster pumping. However, be careful not to over-inflate the tyre and damage it.

Cover/case

Many pumps/compressors come in special cases or cases that make them easy to store and transport. Under the cover, usually, we mean a classic cloth bag, which pumps are often equipped with and which rather protects them from dirt, dust, etc. But compressors are often supplied in plastic cases, they are convenient, inexpensive, rust-resistant and equipped with a convenient carrying handle . Plastic is considered less durable, but it is quite enough to provide the necessary protection.
