Quick Reference Conversion Chart: Power Requirement Calculations

This document provides conversion charts and calculations for pressure, flow rate, hose/lance size, and power requirements in hydraulic systems. It includes equations to convert between gallons per minute (gpm) and liters per minute (lpm), horsepower (hp) and kilowatts (kw), and pounds per square inch (psi) and bars. The chart also shows expected pressure drops over different hose/lance sizes at varying flow rates. Standard conversions between U.S. and metric units are listed for length, weight, pressure, flow rate, force, and power.

Conversion

Example

Length

1 in = 25.4 mm
1 in = .0254 m
1 ft = .3048 m
1 mm = .03937 in
1 m = 39.37 in
1 m = 3.281 ft

12 in x 25.4 = 304.8 mm
120 in x .0254 = 3.05 m
12 ft x .3048 = 3.68m
100 mm x .03937 = 3.94 in
10 m x 39.37 = 393.7 in
10 m x 3.281 = 32.81 ft

Weight

1 lb = .454 kg
1 kg = 2.205 lb

10 lb x .454 = 4.54 kg
10 kg x 2.205 = 22.05 lb

Pressure

1 psi = .069 bar


1 bar = 14.5 psi

20,000 psi x .069 = 1,380 bar


1,000 bar x 14.5 = 14,500 psi

Flow

1 gpm = 3.785 lpm 30 gpm x 3.785 = 113.55 lpm


1 lpm = .264 gpm 100 lpm x .264 = 26.4 gpm

Force

1 lb (f) = 4.44 N
1 N = .2248 lb (f)

100 lb (f) x 4.44 = 444 N


900 N x .2248 = 202.32 lb (f)

Power

1 hp = .7457 kw
1 kw = 1.341 hp

50 hp x .7457 = 37.29 kw
50 kw x 1.341 = 67.05 hp
