Multi-Cylinders conduits calculation
Cylinder’s flow
These calculations can help you to figure-out conduits (hoses, pipes or tubes) parameters (ID sizes, piston speed, flow velocity and cylinder’s force) for any qty of cylinders connected in parallel circuit.
Calculations Notes:
- The recommended flow velocity in conduits you can find at the article Recommended flow velocity.
- The assumption: if you use more than 1 cylinder in calculations, all cylinders have the same parameters (bore/rod diameters, stroke and friction)
- The assumption: Pressure and Return lines conduits (flow source – flow divider and flow divider – tank) have the same ID size.
- The assumption: the conduits between flow divider and cylinders have the same ID size.
