Assuming you mean using smaller piping in a compressed air system-- answer is no, the air pressure does not increase. In fact, the air pressure measured at the end of the line will be lower due to increased pressure drop in the smaller lines from the compressor. The air velocity in the pipes will be higher because of the reduced inside area of the lines, but the actual pressure will be lower at the exit. An air tool at the end of the line would be less powerful.

What would be done to increase the compressor speed on a belt-driven compressor?
increase drive pulley size
What is the size of a pneumatic actuator?
The size is different. This depends on the air pressure in the pneumatic system.
Can you increase the shaft diameter on a Briggs and Stratton horizontal shaft?
I am afraid not Depending on the size of the shaft on the thing you are putting on it is possible to get a bushing made to increase the size of the shaft. Go to your local machine shop and ask if they can make one.)
What is the Pressure drop in glove valve?
You mean GLOBE valve and that would depend on the size of the valve and the maker
What is the calibration curve of orifice meter?
The calibration curve for an orifice meter will depend on the size of the orifice, the size of the pipe and the pressure loss over the meter. Typical calibration curves have pressure (or head) loss on the vertical (y) axis and flow rate on the horizontal (x) axis.
Does increasing gas meter size override need to increase pipe size?
No. Meters are set for different outgoing pressures. Higher pressure coming out meter allows for smaller piping to be used. A gas pressure regulator will be needed at each appliance to reduce gas pressure to required gas pressure for appliance. Gas company should be able to take care of meter. Gas company or plumber should know how to size piping.
How do you increase hot water pressure to one of three bathrooms in a house?
Either you need to install a separate geyser feeding that bathroom or you need to increase the size of piping used from the existing geyser to the bathroom
How to Maintain water pressure?
If you have water pressure and wish to maintain it, do not cause flow in the line, which will reduce pressure due to friction. To keep pressure up, reduce friction by increasing the line size or eliminating some other restriction. To maintain water pressure in the line, it might have a pressure transmitter and Booster pump to maintain the set Pressure in the network & I disagree the above answer to maintain the pressure we shouldn't increase the line size by reducing the line size we can increase/Maintain the pressure to overcome the losses in the Network
What makes friction bigger?
Friction isn't a size. You can increase friction by increasing the pressure on two objects as they pass, or reduce lubrication between them.
How do you determine flow rate by pipe size?
By knowing the availabe pressure and the diameter / material of the piping
How to reduce Margin of error?
Increase sample size.
How do you increase water pressure from a gravity tank by increasing pipe sizes?
you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"
Why did they reduce a goalies equipment size?
They wanted to increase scoring to increase interest in the sport.
What happens to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the size of a container?
The pressure would increase.
What is Water supply engineering?
calculating the size of the piping by figuring out the fixture units and gpm and pressure demands with friction loss
How can you reduce the standard error in research?
Increase n or sample size.
How can reduce the percentage error?
The larger the sample, the lower the % error.. so to reduce a % error, increase your sample size.
