Question: When testing the air governor cut-out pressure, what should the air pressure gauge show before the compressor stops pumping air?

Answer options: ✅ Between 724 kPa (105 psi) and 862 kPa (125 psi).

  • Exactly 689 kPa (100 psi).
  • Between 552 kPa (80 psi) and 620 kPa (90 psi).
  • Above 965 kPa (140 psi).

Correct answer: Between 724 kPa (105 psi) and 862 kPa (125 psi).

Explanation: The air governor cut-out pressure, at which the air compressor stops pumping air, should typically be between 724 kPa (105 psi) and 862 kPa (125 psi) to maintain the system's optimal operating pressure.
