Torque To Pressure Equation:
| From: | To: |
The Torque To Pressure equation calculates pressure from torque for pipe applications. This formula is particularly useful in mechanical engineering and fluid dynamics to determine the pressure generated by a given torque applied to a pipe system.
The calculator uses the Torque To Pressure equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation converts rotational force (torque) into linear pressure by considering the geometry of the pipe system.
Details: Accurate pressure calculation from torque is essential for designing and maintaining pipe systems, ensuring proper fluid flow, and preventing system failures in mechanical and hydraulic applications.
Tips: Enter torque in Newton-meters (Nm) and radius in meters (m). Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: What units should I use for this calculation?
A: Torque should be in Newton-meters (Nm) and radius in meters (m) for the result to be in Pascals (Pa).
Q2: Can this formula be used for any pipe material?
A: Yes, the formula is based on geometric principles and applies to pipes of any material, though material properties may affect the actual pressure capacity.
Q3: What if my pipe diameter is given instead of radius?
A: Simply divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius before entering it into the calculator.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation provides theoretical pressure values. Actual pressure may vary due to factors like friction, pipe imperfections, and fluid properties.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for non-circular pipes?
A: No, this formula is specifically designed for circular pipes. Different formulas are needed for pipes with other cross-sectional shapes.
