    glossary of terms CFM: Cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air flow. PSI: Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of air pressure. Kick-in pressure: Factory set low pressure point that starts the com- pressor to repressurize the tank to a higher pressure. Kick-out pressure: Factory set high pressure point that stops the com- pressor from increasing the pressure in the tank above a certain level.
