HYDRAULIC CALCULATOR

DISCLAIMER NOTE:

THE FOLLOWING FORMULAS ARE TO BE A GUIDELINE ONLY AND ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR ACTUAL DESIGN OF A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.


Basic Formulas
Formula For: Word Formula Letter Formula
Fluid Pressure
In Pounds/Square Inch
Pressure = fluid_pressure P = fluid_pressure or psi = fluid_pressure_l.gif (125 bytes)
Fluid Fow Rate
In Gallons/Minute
Flow Rate = fluid_flow_rate Q = fluid_flow_rate
Fluid Power
In Horsepower
Horsepower = horsepower HP = horsepower


Pump Formulas
Formula For: Word Formula Letter Formula
Pump Outlet Flow
In Gallons/Minute
Flow = flow Q = flow
Pump Input Power
In Horsepower Required
Horsepower Input = horsepower_input HPIN =horsepower_input or horsepower_input
Pump Efficiency
Overall in Percent
Overall Efficiency = overall_efficiency X 100

Overall Efficiency = Volumetric Eff. x Mechanical Eff.

EffQVoverall_efficiency x  100

EffQV = EffVOL x EffMECH

Pump Efficiency
Overall in Percent
Volumetric Efficiency =volumetric_efficiencyx 100 EffVOL =volumetric_efficiency x 100
Pump Efficiency
Mechanical in Percent
Mechanical Efficiency =mechanical_efficiencyx 100 EffMEC =mechanical_efficiency x 100
Pump Life
B10 Bearing Life
B10 Hours of Bearing Life =
Rated Life Hours xpump_lifexpump_life
B10  xpump_life1 xpump_life

Cylinder Formulas
Formula For: Word Formula Letter Formula
Cylinder Area
In Square Inches
Area = pi x Radius2 (Inches)

Area =  cylinder_area x Diameter2 (Inches)

A = pir2

A = cylinder_area  or  A = .785D2

Cylinder Force
In Pounds, Push or Pull
Force = Pressure (psi) x Net Area (Square Inches) F = psi x A or F = PA
Cylinder Velocity or Speed
n Feet/Second
Velocity = cylinder_velocity V =cylinder_velocity or V = cylinder_velocity
Cylinder Volume Capacity
In Gallons of Fluid
Velocity = cylinder_volume_capacity

Velocity = cylinder_volume_capacity

V = cylinder_volume_capacity

V = cylinder_volume_capacity   / = Length of Stroke

Cylinder Flow Rate
In Gallons Per Minute
Flow Rate = cylinder_flow_rate Q = cylinder_flow_rate or  Q = 3.117vA
Fluid Motor Torque
In Inch Pounds
Torque =  fluid_motor_torque

Torque = fluid_motor_torque

Torque = fluid_motor_torque

T = fluid_motor_torqueor T = fluid_motor_torque

T = fluid_motor_torque

T = fluid_motor_torque or T = fluid_motor_torque

Fluid Motor Torque/100 psi
In Inch Pounds
Torque/100 psi = fluid_motor_torque_100psi T100psi = fluid_motor_torque_100psi
Fluid Motor Speed
In Revolutions/Minute
Speed = fluid_motor_speed n = fluid_motor_speed
Fluid Motor Power
In Horsepower Output
Horsepower = fluid_motor_power HP = fluid_motor_power
