Bore Diameter = Inside Tube Circumference / 3.1415
Rod Diameter = Rod Circumference / 3.1415
Stroke = Extended Length (center to center of pins) – Retracted Length (center to center of pins)
Volume Displacement in gallons = (Bore Radius² * 3.1415) * Stroke / 231
Fluid Pressure (PSI) = Force (lbs) / (Bore Radius² * 3.1415)
Force (lbs) = (Bore Radius² * 3.1415) * Pressure (PSI)
Fluid Flow Rate (GPM) = Volume displacement (gallons) / Time units (minutes)
Column Load (lbs) = pressure (PSI) * (Bore Radius² * 3.1415)
Hydraulic Horsepower = pressure (PSI) * Fluid Flow Rate (GPM) / 1714
Cylinder Extending Speed(Inch per second) = (231 * GPM) / (60 * Bore Radius² * 3.1415)
