Re: Quation How to calculate the cylinder

Force = Pressure x Area
Force = Pressure in PSI x Area in Square Inches
Force = Pounds

So essentially when you multiply your PSI pressure by the area of the cross section of the cylinder you'll get the force in pounds.

Find how much force you need, in pounds, and go from there.

The cylinder with the larger bore (diameter) yields larger force.
