The short answer
Use airflow at the working pressure or vacuum, then check duty cycle, power and acoustic requirements.
What to check
List chamber volume, fill time, tubing and valve losses. Validate performance with the complete pneumatic circuit.
Make the comparison meaningful
Record supply voltage, medium temperature, circuit arrangement and the measurement location. Compare candidate pumps under the same conditions. Maximum flow, maximum pressure and a single noise value do not describe a complete working point.
Before you choose a model
Ask for the current specification, performance curve and approved operating limits for the exact variant. Agree on the test method and acceptance criteria, then validate a sample in your equipment. This guide describes selection principles, not verified performance for a Shan Neng model.
