Increase size if:
• Oil Viscosity exceeds 150 SSU (SAE 10)
• Oil is cold
• Suction lines are over 5 ft. long
• Pressure lines are over 15 ft. long
• There are multiple fittings or obstructions in line


HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS

Cylinder
Force (lbs)
= pr2 x PSI
Volume (gal)
=pr2 x length ÷ 231
Speed (In per min)
=GPM ÷ Vol
Pump
Hp input required
PSI x GPM x .0007
Hp rule of thumb
1 Hp = 1 GPM at 1500 PSI
Flow (GPM)
RPM x Displ ÷ 231
Motor
Speed
GPM x 231 ÷ Displ
Torque (in-lbs)
Pres x Displ ÷ 2p
Horsepower 
Torque in-lbs x RPM ÷ 63024


HYDRAULIC EQUIVALENTS

Equivalents Volume 1 gal = 231 cu in
1 gal = 3.79 liters
Pressure 1 bar = 14.5 PSI
Force 1 lb = 2.2 kg
Power 1 Hp = 33,000 ft-lbs/min
1 Hp = 42.4 BTU/Hr
1 Hp = 746 Watts (.746 kw)
Hp rule of thumb 1 Hp = 1 GPM at 1500 PSI
