Sizing Air Compressor: What's the best size air compressor to create 90 lb of constant pressure that doesn't cost $1,000? Thank you

I have been using a small pancake compressor without any issues. If your compressor is too weak you can always turn the little dragon off and let it catch up
no need to break the bank on a shop compressor -
I found a 150 psi compressor that has 4 cfsm's at 90 pounds & it seems to work fine but it exploded the schedule 40 PVC that I've tried using. So I've gone to schedule 80 PVC screw pipe and a 15 and a half gallon beer keg to hold the foaming solution.

@ChrisinKentucky I wonder how that happened? If every thing is in proper working order there should be very little pressure in any pvc pipe areas... Is it possible that you had a blockage somewhere?
