The air flow from a compressor is determined by the capacity of the pumping system
with a piston type compressor it is the bore by the stroke
in a diaphragm type is it is the diaphragm dia by the stroke
that is the maximum cubic feet of air a minute produced
pressure is the resistance to flow so regardless of the pressure or restriction it will only produce that set air flow at that rpms
do not confuse the flow with pressure as it works like this the greater the restriction the greater the pressure in reserve but the less flow in cubic ft per minute through the restriction
for example a compressor producing 10 cubic feet per minute does that with not restriction but with no pressure
at 25% restriction to air flow the pressure in the tank will now rise to say 25 psi and the flow from the restriction will drop to 8 cubic feet per minute
at 50% restriction the compressor is still putting out 10 cubic feet of air per minute but the tank pressure has risen to 50 psi and the flow from the restriction has dropped to 4 cubic ft per minute
go to the extreme end and the compressor is still producing 10 cubic ft of air per minute , the restriction now allows 100 psi in the tank but the low from the restriction has been reduced to 2 cubic ft per minute
the simple equation is pressure = flow X resistance

My kobalt Model# xc6020000AJ is not delivering the rated scfm's. What do I need to Check to find out what issue is?

How would you know it isn't delivering the rated SCFM?
It is far from simple to measure this part of the specification.

While many manufacturers state the CFM in free air as a guide to choosing the right compressor and it is usually a theoretic calculated value using rpm and displacement.
It is interesting Kobalt has quoted an SCFM at 175 psi which is a very ambitious thing to do due to the many variable affecting compressor performance - temperature, humidity, supply current...

A 3.7 hp motor is similarly ambitious for a single phase supply (3-phase isn't stated). 2.5 hp is reckoned to be the maximum for a standard domestic supply and even then the high starting current can cause problems as well as when working hard a voltage drop on the supply will cause slow running. A short dedicated supply is preferable and for a 3 hp motor it is considered necessary.

I would say a short and really heavy dedicated supply is necessary for 3.7 hp and if any dimming or flickering of the lighting is taking place the motor will certainly be running at less than the rated speed and therefore a reduced air volume.

Convert scfm to cfm? my compressor puts out 4.9 scfm at 90psi; 7 scfm at 40 psi so how many cfm at 23 psi?

Hard to give an exact number, however, as pressure and temp of air increases, the scfm drops as you see in your numbers. With low pressure such as 0 thru 25 the temp of the air is also low/nominal thus the scfm will be very close to the actual cfm listed for the compressor pump.

Looking for manuals for husky air compressor model FP204500AV

The manual and parts breakdown for your compressor can be found at: http://www.chpower.com/IMAGES/pdfs/manual02/608800_1102.pdf

If that doesn't work look for it on the Campbell-Hausfeld homepage at http://www.chpower.com/ under Service and Support. They have been working on the site so some links are not working correctly.

Your compressor is an oil-less type that has very little for you to do as far as service. Mostly you just have to keep it clean and occasionally drain the water from the tank. The frequency of that is dependent on where you are (humidity levels in your area) and how ofter you use it.

Nail Gun how to

One of the factors used to designate compressor power is motor horsepower. However, this isn't the best indicator. You really need to know the amount of air the compressor can deliver at a specific pressure. The rate at which a compressor can deliver a volume of air is noted in cubic feet per minute (cfm). Because atmospheric pressure plays a role in how fast air moves into the cylinder, cfm will vary with atmospheric pressure. It also varies with the temperature and humidity of the air. To set an even playing field, makers calculate standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) as cfm at sea level with 68 degrees F air at 36% relative humidity. Scfm ratings are given at a specific pressure–3.0 scfm at 90 psi, for example. If you reduce pressure, scfm goes up, and vice versa. You also may run across a rating called displacement cfm. This figure is the product of cylinder displacement and motor rpm. In comparison with scfm, it provides an index of compressor pump efficiency. The cfm and psi ratings are important because they indicate the tools that a particular compressor can drive. When choosing a compressor, make sure it can supply the amount of air and the pressure that your tools need.
