What is the suitable pipe size for a pressure of 4 bar and 330 CFM flow rate ?

4 bar and 330 CFM gives about (4+1)*330=1650 Normal CFPM. Take a look at the table here: http://www.air-compressor-guide.com/compressed-air-pipe-sizing-calculation.html This table is made for 7 bar. So for 4 bar, we need to multiple the ncfpm by 7/4=1.75. 1650 * 1.75 = 2887. If we look at 2887 ncfpm, we find about 100 - 125 mm pipe size, depending on the legth of the pipe. That answer seemed a bit high (what are you using it for??) IF the 330 is already normal cfpm, look at 300*1.75=525 cfpm... which gives us about 63 mm pipe. For an example of converting air flow to Normal airflow, see this page: http://www.air-compressor-guide.com/converting-nlmin-to-lmin.html
