Calculate Cylinder Pressure (Pc)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Cylinder Pressure (Pc) is:

\[ Pc = \frac{Fc}{Ac} \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the cylinder force (\( Fc \)) is 1000 N and the cylinder area (\( Ac \)) is 0.5 m². Using the formula:

\[ Pc = \frac{Fc}{Ac} = \frac{1000}{0.5} = 2000 \text{ N/m²} \]

So, the Cylinder Pressure (\( Pc \)) is 2000 N/m².

What is Cylinder Pressure?

Cylinder pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the force applied on the area of a cylinder. It is an important parameter in various engineering applications, including hydraulics and pneumatics, where understanding the pressure within a cylinder is crucial for system design and safety.
