Group: Forum Members Posts: 26, Visits: 3.2K	I have an opportunity to buy a 2nd or 3rd hand 5x10 ft autoclave. The vessel is rated for up to 100 psi. I'm not finding a lot of information regarding the size air compressor I need to pressurize this thing. Does anyone have any experience with this and have a rule of thumb I should follow? Would a 7.5 HP 24ish CFM unit be adequate? More than adequate? Thanks,

Much appreciated, Well, my Clarke 150l model goes up to 9BAR, which is around 130psi. I guess it would pressurise a bigger tank, just take longer. As a matter of interest, what do you plan to use 100psi for?
