My Friend Frank has informed me that to figure out the power of an individual cylinder I should multiply the psi X the bore of the cylinder . For example 1000psi X 6" bore = 6000lbs of lift . My problem is that this only accounts for 6 square inches of piston pressure . I would personaly think that one would take the bore size and multiply times pie=3.14 and then multiply times the pressure = 18.84sq inches X 1000 psi = 18840 lb of lift .
Is this an Industry standard that frank is talking about , I want to know where the other 12.84 sq goes In my mind the oil acts on the entire top of the piston , not just 6 sq in .
What do you guys think ?
