Pushing on both sides of the piston...

Posted by Shawn McMahon on 2/3/2001 3:47 PM EST: When I played with an air cylinder an the regulator the other day, it was very easy to push on the piston and make the regulator bleed off the excess pressure. Also, in your analysis, you are forgetting that you have put 60psi on BOTH sides of the cylinder piston. When you net out the forces, I believe you will find that the piston will act like a spring is holding it in place. The higher the pressure, the stiffer the spring but it still acts like a spring (remember PV=NRT from physics and/or chem class?). Joe J. |
