You could use it for compressing air if you really wanted. As for as the PSI that this compressor is capable of...250 to 300 PSI if the unloader valves are not unloaded from the air govenor. That's right! The air govenor. You will find small ports in the head area of the air compressor. One may even be plugged off. This port is the port where the air govenor sends the air signal and tells the compressor to stop compressing even though the compressor continues to rotate. It achieves this by lifting the unloader valves off their seats to prevent compression of air. The govenor receives the pressure from the air tank. So you see it would get involved if you want to properly and safely build something. A regular truck supply resovoir has a relief pressure of 150 PSI. You certainly would not want your vessel to explode. It would be deadly. Good luck and be careful. Jeff
