Because of the operation coditions I need to replace a electric motor by a pneumatic motor.Presently the electric motor is working in a very wet area. Obviously I have
data of electric motor. I want to purchase an Atlas Copco
pneumatic motor. I have also some data of the pneumatic motor like: Power, speed and torque at 91 PSI of air supply pressure. The power and speed of the pneumatic motor are similar to power and speed of electric motor, but:
How do I know that the torque of the pneumatic motor could be similar to the torque developed by the electric motor ?

Thanks in advace for your help.
