Key Formulas

Unit Conversion

y=xky = x \cdot k

Multiply by conversion factor.

Linear Interpolation

y=y1+(xx1)(y2y1)x2x1y = y_1 + \frac{(x - x_1)(y_2 - y_1)}{x_2 - x_1}

Estimate between two known points.

Percentage

p=partwhole×100%p = \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \times 100\%

Part as fraction of whole.

Example Calculation

A hydraulic cylinder with a piston area of 12.57 in² and a stroke of 30 in has its volumetric displacement calculated as follows:

q=As231q = \frac{A \cdot s}{231}

Substituting the values:

q=(12.57 in2)×(30 in)231=1.63 galq = \frac{(12.57\ \text{in}^2) \times (30\ \text{in})}{231} = 1.63\ \text{gal}
