Just wondering about the tonnage of the splitter I'm designing and I wander to a hydraulic cylinder force calculator and was a bit surprised with my answers.
4" @ 3000 psig = 18.8 tons
4 1/2" @ 3000 psig = 23.8 tons
5" @ 3000 psig = 29.5 tons
So now I wander over to Northern Tool and look at the Northstar 22 ton splitter and they claim:
Ram Force (Tons) 22 but a bit further down I see
Continuous Force (Tons) 18.8
Max. PSI 3,000
Cylinder 4 in. x 24in. and the 18.8 tons sounds right so is the "Ram Force" like vacuum cleaner HP just a sales gimmick?
