Description
| Theoretical Thrust (Cylinders) | ||
|---|---|---|
| N | = | Effective area (sq.cm) x pressure (bar) x 10 |
| Lb | = | Effective area (sq.in) x pressure (psi) |
|
Hydraulic Power | ||
| kW | = | Flow rate (L/min) x pressure (bar) 600 |
| hp | = | Flow rate (gpm) x pressure (psi) 1714 |
|
Geometric Flow Rate (Cylinders) | ||
| L/min | = | Effective area (sq.cm) x piston speed (m/min) 10 |
| gpm | = | Effective area (sq.cm) x piston speed (in/min) 231 |
|
Velocity of Fluid in Pipe | ||
| m/sec | = | Flow rate (L/min) x 21.22 D x D |
| (D: inside diameter of pipe in mm) | ||
| ft/sec | = | Flow rate (gpm) x 0.408 D x D |
| (D: inside diameter of pipe in mm) | ||
