What is the category of compression. I'm looking for 15-20 mmHg. How can I determine this.

The ones that say Elevation are 20-30mmHG. The ones called on the spot are 15-20 mg. that is what it said on my packaging when I got them. Both say elevated compression ... I've worn both... Both work well for me I had ankle surgery last September and I teach school so on my feet all day... They are the only brand I've found that keep me on my feet and swelling down

The description and packaging both state 15-20 mmHg. I personally love the look and feel of the socks and bought several pairs for fellow pharmacists.

The "on the spot" and "circulator" styles are 15-20 mmHg. It says this in the product description for the on the spot style and I own both.

My compressor is a 5hp 80 gallon putting out 155psi and this regulator has handled that with no problems. I could not find out the max input before I bought mine either, and had to put the pressure to it and see what happened. It has been almost a year since I started using mine and I have regulated as low as 9lbs for powder coat. The gauge goes to 160. It's a pretty big well built unit that will take you by surprise when you take it out of the box.

I would go with a 15. 10 blows too often, 20 really isn't safe enough. Try and use a "slow blow" or "slow burn" fuse since anything amplified will power spike.

I would get a 0-30 psi gauge. It would be more accurate for a low pressure reading.

The socks I purchased are not Zip Socks; however compression level is the amount of tension in the sock in various areas to give your feet and legs support keeping them from swelling. The standardized level of compression used as follows: 15-20, 20-30 , 30-40 and 40-50 mmHg.

Cfm is an ambiguous rating and it's difficult to say. I would say 38 would be better as it accounts for compressed volume of air. However if you are using power tools or anything that needs more air I would look much higher or you will see significant pressure drops. Something in the 100's at least or 200's would be ideal. I bought this and switched to a 200+ scfm and I only get a drop of 2-3psi. With this unit I experienced 20-30psi drop at full load.

I have no clue what mmhg stands for. What I know is my calf measures 16.25" and these compression socks doesnt compress much, so I still use my wrap bandages to get the compression I want.

I keep 120 psi in the tank. I keep 10psi in the bags at all times. I run as high as 60psi for a heavy load. For a average load 20-30psi in the air bags. I hope this helps!

what does the 30-40mmhg and the 0.35 pound mean. How do you figure it out for the males that need thigh high compression stockings

I couldn't say because there is no indication either on the compressor or the instruction leaflet. Sorry!

"what kinda of compressor should i use for these?" Hi, I found a very nice compressor... V-Power 21 gallons and 2.5HP and max at 125psi.... It is just enough to give intermittent blasts on the impact wrench. I might add an extra storage tank to possibly kick it up to 30-ish gallons? The perfect world is 30 gal. and with 5HP might be the better spec. Hope this helps.

I have no idea what the compression number is. You will need to contact the company Miracle Socks. I would consider them to be the lightest number. These are not "true" support hose a doctor would order for a medical need.... my opinion only. I really like the feel of the Miracle Socks and find them to comparable to support hose I have purchased at the Pharmacy. As for shoe width, I again refer you to contact Miracle Socks.

I have a DeWalt Emglo 4.5 gal. 5.4 scfm compressor that will go to 200 psi in the tanks. It is on wheels and works great!

The gauge reads 300psi, but it only gives me about 120 psig i think, its maybe more like 110 psig, anymore the regulator starts to leak off the extra pressure. This sucks....

I know what it is rated as but I only take it to 90 PSI. I use it for little jobs when I don't want to hall my 100 ft of compressor hose with quick connects. Also got rid of their hose and bought a short compressor hose with correct fittings for connection to tank and a quick connect to connect my other air tools. This unit like the rest has only a tire filling fitting. With those changes it does the job. I think the company would be smart giving a better hose choice for a few pennies more. Good Luck!

It's rated for no more then 50 psi. I have a 1 H.P. 3 gallon compressor and it worked okay.
