Spring Pressure Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Spring Pressure (Pspring) is:

\[ Pspring = \frac{K \cdot X}{A} \]

Where:

(Pspring) is the Spring Pressure (Pa)
(K) is the spring rate (N/m)
(X) is the compression (m)
(A) is the cross-sectional area (m²)

What is Spring Pressure?

Spring Pressure is the pressure exerted by a spring when it is compressed or stretched. It is calculated by multiplying the spring rate by the compression and then dividing by the cross-sectional area. This measurement is important in understanding the force and behavior of springs in various applications.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Spring Rate (K) = 100 N/m
Compression (X) = 0.05 meters
Cross-Sectional Area (A) = 0.01 m²

Using the formula:

\[ Pspring = \frac{100 \cdot 0.05}{0.01} = 500 \text{ Pa} \]

The Spring Pressure (Pspring) is 500 Pa.
