How do you calculate hydraulic cylinder force from pressure and bore?

Cylinder force (F in N) equals hydraulic pressure (P in Pascals) multiplied by the piston cross-sectional area (A = π × r² in m²): F = P × A. For a 100mm (0.1m) bore cylinder operating at 200 bar (20,000,000 Pa), force = 20,000,000 × (π × 0.05²) = 157,080 N ≈ 157.1 kN (35,314 lbf or 16.0 metric tons).

What is the formula to convert PSI to cylinder clamp force?

Force in pounds (lbf) = Pressure (PSI) × Area (square inches). A 4-inch bore cylinder has an area of π × 2² ≈ 12.57 in². At 3,000 PSI hydraulic pressure, force = 3,000 × 12.57 = 37,710 lbf (18.85 US tons).

Frequently Asked Questions

The mathematical formula to convert square feet (us survey) to acres is: [value] * 2.29569273 × 10⁻⁵ = acres. Rather than doing the math manually, you can use our high-precision online calculator to process this exact equation instantly without rounding errors.

To perform the reverse calculation from acres back to square feet (us survey), you must divide your starting value by 2.29569273 × 10⁻⁵. Our bidirectional tool automatically computes this inverse equation the moment you type into the acre input field.

1 Acre is larger than 1 Square Foot (US survey). Specifically, 1 Square Foot (US survey) equals 2.29569273 × 10⁻⁵ acres, meaning 1 Acre is 43559.8364 times larger than 1 Square Foot (US survey) (a difference of 4.64 orders of magnitude). Expressing measurements in square feet (us survey) requires a larger numerical value to represent the equivalent physical magnitude.

A typical united States Coast and Geodetic Survey official legal boundary square foot measures 1 sq ft (US), which corresponds to 2.2957 × 10⁻⁵ ac (Acre).

Since 1 acre is defined as exactly 43{,}560 ft² (US), 1 ft² (US) equals 1 / 43560 ac, which calculates to: 1 ft² (US) = 2.29569 × 10⁻⁵ ac

To convert US survey square feet to acres, multiply the input value by 2.29569 × 10⁻⁵ (or divide by 43{,}560): V(ac) = V(ft² (US)) × 2.29569 × 10⁻⁵

To derive US survey square feet from acres, multiply the number of acres by the exact constant factor 43559.9 (historically standard 43{,}560 ft² (US) per survey acre): V(ft² (US)) = V(ac) × 43559.9

Because 1 survey acre = 43{,}560 ft² (US), using the international foot definition introduces an error of approximately 4 mm² per square foot. Over a boundary survey of 100{,}000 acres, this difference shifts property boundaries significantly.
