Hello, Do you have any idea of what the significance of seven additional markings on the 24000 pound gauge might be? They are labeled 1 to 7 and appear to be at the following readings: 3100, 6500, 9700, 12900, 16100, 19400, and 22600. Thanks. Steve

Hi, I mostly understand your answers, but for my application is there a difference between force and pressure and are they both measured in psi? Thanks. Steve

For the first part of answer to -10- is the following correct? Diameter is 2.25 in. therefore Radius is 1.125 in. Therefore area is 3.14159 x 1.125 x 1.125 = 3.976 sq in. Therefore to find the proper range psi gauge needed for this press is: 40000 / 3.976 = 10060 -13- Therefore I need a 0 to...

Thank you so much! Now I understand. Based on your answers I can skip a lot of my questions I had concerning pyramid shaped plates, etc. -9- Based on my understanding, then a 1/2 in cube in the example above would be squished by 200 pounds of pressure, correct? Let me jump to what may be...

Hi, It's been a long time since I've been to school, and never did specialize in physics. But I now have a series of many questions that will build on each other I am hoping someone can help me with. I can only ask so man questions in each session as my next question set will depend on...
