Press Calculations

[KenH]

Hello ya'll I've not posted much here, lurking more than anything and reading.  I found these calculators that are handy for hydraulic press building;

This one is good for determining tons from a cylinder.

This one is good for speed of travel depending on ram size and GPM.  The GPM used should be the low pressure GPM of the pump i.e. 13/4 gpm pump is usually 13 gpm at <600 or so PSI.  Once the pressure goes about 600 or so the low speed of 4 gpm kicks in.

This one is good for calculation of electric motor hp - this should be with the high pressure GPM, not the low pressure gpm for hp required.

I hope these are of benefit to some folks
