User Guide
This tool will calculate the theoretical bore diameter of a piston cylinder assembly by entering values for the piston force and the pressure within the cylinder.
Formula
The formula used by this calculator to determine the piston cylinder bore diameter from force and pressure is:
r = ø / 2
A = π · r2 = π · (ø / 2)2
A = π · ø2 / 4
ø = √ (4 · A / π)
P = F / A
A = F / P
ø = √ (4 · F / (π · P))
Symbols
- ø = Circle diameter
- F = Force
- P = Pressure
- π = Pi = 3.14159…
- r = Circle radius
- A = Circle area
Piston Force
Enter the reading in any units for the force on the piston.
Cylinder Pressure
Enter a value in any units for the pressure within the cylinder
Piston / Cylinder Bore Diameter
This is the theoretical bore diameter of the piston cylinder assembly that is present or would be required for the combination of force and pressure values entered.
