5.3CFM at 90 PSI10 gal · 70 dB published
Ten-gallon upright wheeled compressor with 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI. It matches the standard 20020's output while occupying less space and carrying less tank reserve.

5CFM at 90 PSI20 gal · 77 dB published
The continuous-run version trades a higher published noise figure for a 100% duty rating and defined long-duration limits. Its 90 PSI output is 5.0 CFM, slightly below the standard 20020's 5.3 CFM.

Twin-tank oil-lubricated model with 4.2 CFM at 90 PSI and two couplers. Its 77 lb weight is a substantial portability consideration.

See which limit matters and which details you still need to confirm.
Compare a real trade-off.
All comparisons →More tank, the same published airflow
A 10- versus 20-gallon choice. Compare the storage difference without treating it as a larger pump.
Compare specifications →When the airflow rating changes
Compare the 8-gallon model’s delivery with the 10-gallon, 2 HP model. The flow change matters more than the two extra gallons.
Compare specifications →Portable tank or larger buffer?
Both publish 2.2 CFM at 90 PSI. Compare the 2- and 8-gallon tanks, size and source limitations.
Compare specifications →Make sense of the numbers.
All guides →Average vs at-load CFM: which number belongs in the calculator?
Separate tool consumption while running from a catalog average, then calculate the demand of your own trigger schedule.
Open guide & tool →Compressor duty cycle: separate the percentage from the time limit
Calculate an observed pump-on fraction and understand why a published duty percentage is only part of an operating limit.
Open guide & tool →Tank size vs airflow: what extra gallons actually change
Estimate a theoretical stored-air buffer over a pressure interval and see why tank capacity and pump delivery are separate specifications.
Open guide & tool →Does a bigger tank mean more airflow?
No. A larger tank stores more air over the same pressure interval. The pump's delivered CFM determines its published air delivery; tank size alone cannot establish that figure.
Can I use an average CFM rating as at-load demand?
Only if the source explicitly identifies that value as at-load consumption. An average may assume an unspecified duty pattern. The matcher keeps those figures separate and asks for missing data.
Does a passing check guarantee the pairing?
No. These calculations screen published specifications. Hose losses, fittings, regulator capacity and the installed system need their own checks. Manufacturer application limits still apply.
