I wouldn’t call it a myth. Our industry is evolving. In the past using a 100-psi compressor and receiving 90 psi was good. There has been an escalation of nozzle pressure over the past 30 years. People started using 125 psi compressors then 150 psi compressors. Now people have migrated to 175 and 200 psi compressors. Although physics are still the same; particle speed, kinetic energy, amount of work done. Some people forget about the human element. Handling a #8 nozzle at 100 psi is already a difficult task. If you take that #8 nozzle and turn it up to 125 psi or more makes it even more challenging. This cause extra wear and tear on your manpower. We have products that help blasters in these instances to accommodate the human element. To make blasting safer and more comfortable.
