Calculate Axial Force (AF)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Axial Force (AF) is:

\[ AF = P \cdot \frac{\pi \cdot d^2}{4} \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the internal pressure (P) is 100 lbs/in², and the cylinder internal diameter (d) is 4 inches. Using the formula:

\[ AF = 100 \cdot \frac{\pi \cdot 4^2}{4} = 100 \cdot \pi \cdot 4 = 1256.64 \, \text{lb-f} \]

So, the axial force is approximately 1256.64 lb-f.

Formula for Axial Force

Definition: Axial force is the force acting along the axis of an object.

Formula: \( F = \frac{P}{A} \)

Example: \( F = \frac{1000}{50} \)

Calculating Axial Force from Torque

Definition: Axial force can be calculated from the torque applied to a screw or bolt.

Formula: \( F = \frac{T}{K \cdot d} \)

Example: \( F = \frac{50}{0.2 \cdot 0.01} \)

Screw Axial Force Calculation

Definition: The axial force in a screw is the force exerted along the axis of the screw.

Formula: \( F = \frac{T}{K \cdot d} \)

Example: \( F = \frac{30}{0.15 \cdot 0.01} \)

Axial Force Calculation for Bolt

Definition: The axial force in a bolt is the force exerted along the axis of the bolt.

Formula: \( F = \frac{T}{K \cdot d} \)

Example: \( F = \frac{40}{0.25 \cdot 0.02} \)

Welding Calculation Formula for Axial Force

Definition: The axial force in a welded joint is the force exerted along the axis of the weld.

Formula: \( F = \frac{P}{A} \)

Example: \( F = \frac{500}{25} \)
