Vacuum Force Calculator, Formula, Force Calculation

Vacuum Force Calculator:

Enter the values of ambient pressure AP_(psi) , system pressure Pounds SP_(psi) & effective vaccum area  A _(inches²) to determine the value of vacuum force VF_(lbf).

Vacuum Force Formula:

The vacuum force VF_(lbf) in lbf is equal to the ambient pressure AP_(psi) in Pounds per square inch into subtracted by the system pressure SP_(psi) Pounds per square inch to multiply the effective vaccum area A_(inches²₎ in inches square.

The equation of vacuum area can be writtern as,

VF_(lbf) = ( AP_(psi) – SP_(psi) ) * A_(inches²₎

Here,

VF_(lbf)  =  vacuum force in lbf

AP_(psi)  =  ambient pressure in Pounds per square inch

SP_(psi)  =  system pressure Pounds per square inch

A_(inches²₎  =  effective vaccum area in inches square

To calculate the vacuum force and ambient pressure 80psi and system pressure 2psi and vaccum area 10 inches².

Answer

VF = ( AP – SP ) * A

VF = ( 80 – 2 ) * 10

VF = 780 lbf.

To calculate vaccum area and the vacuum force 780 lbf  and ambient pressure 80psi and system pressure 2psi.

Answer

VF = ( AP – SP ) * A

780 = ( 80 – 2 ) * A

A = 10 inches².
