SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the actual press force of a hydraulic press, specifically the Enerpac RC1510 with a maximum gauge pressure of 10,000 psi and an actual gauge reading of 2,500 psi. The calculation confirms that the actual pressure in tons is 3.75 tons, derived from the formula (2500/10000) X 15 tons. Additionally, using the effective area of 3.15 in², the force is calculated as 7,875 lb (or 3.9375 tons) at 2,500 psi. However, the contributor advises caution regarding the precision of these calculations.
