What does ASME certified mean on an air receiver tank?

It means the vessel was designed, built, pressure tested and stamped to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, the US standard for unfired pressure vessels. The stamp is what an inspector looks for on compressed air storage in a commercial building. All three AERO air receivers are ASME Section VIII vessels rated for 145 PSI maximum working pressure.

What size air receiver tank do I need for a rotary screw compressor?

Size it to the air demand of the shop, not just the compressor horsepower. As a starting point, the 80-gallon tank fits small shops, garages and light commercial air systems, the 130-gallon fits professional shops with medium air demand, and the 260-gallon fits industrial shops and higher-demand systems. For a figure tied to your CFM and pressure, use the sizing guide or ask for a quote.

Do I need a separate tank with an AERO All-in-One compressor?

No. Every AERO All-in-One ships with an ASME receiver mounted on the frame: 53 gallons on the All-in-One VSD7.5 and 132 to 158 gallons on the 10 to 30 HP models. The tanks in this collection are for standalone compressors, for replacing an old tank, or for adding storage to a system that runs short of air at peak demand.

How much does an ASME air receiver tank cost and how fast does it ship?

The 80-gallon tank is $1,550, the 130-gallon is $2,750 and the 260-gallon is $3,850. In-stock tanks ship in 2 business days as LTL freight, free to commercial addresses in the continental US. Financing through PEAC Solutions applies to orders of $5,000 or more, so a tank bought together with a compressor or dryer can qualify.

What an ASME air receiver tank is An ASME air receiver tank is a steel pressure vessel, built and stamped to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, that stores compressed air between the compressor and the shop. AERO offers three vertical air receivers of 80, 130 and 260 gallons, all rated for 145 PSI. With a rotary screw compressor the tank does three jobs. It holds reserve air for peak demand, so pressure holds when several tools run at once. It reduces short cycling when sized to the system. And the air cools in the tank, so part of its water drops out and leaves through the drain port instead of reaching the dryer and air lines. Who it is for Shops that run a standalone compressor: auto body and mechanical repair, tire service, woodworking, fabrication, CNC and manufacturing. Also anyone adding storage to an existing compressor room or building a system around a standalone compressor and dryer. If you are buying an AERO All-in-One, you do not need a tank: every All-in-One already has an ASME receiver on the frame.

Who it is for

Shops that run a standalone compressor: auto body and mechanical repair, tire service, woodworking, fabrication, CNC and manufacturing. Also anyone adding storage to an existing compressor room or building a system around a standalone compressor and dryer. If you are buying an AERO All-in-One, you do not need a tank: every All-in-One already has an ASME receiver on the frame.

How to choose a size

Pick the tank by the air demand of the shop, not by compressor horsepower alone.

80-gallon air receiver: 145 PSI, 1" NPT inlet and outlet, 1/2" NPT safety valve port, 1/2" NPT drain. Small shops, garages and light commercial air systems. $1,550.
130-gallon air receiver: 145 PSI, 1-1/2" NPT inlet and outlet, 3/4" NPT safety valve port, 1/2" NPT drain. Professional shops with medium air demand. $2,750.
260-gallon air receiver: 145 PSI, 1-1/2" NPT inlet and outlet, 3/4" NPT safety valve port, 1/2" NPT drain. Industrial shops and higher-demand air systems. $3,850.
