115kips required from cylinder. Cylinder provides 3ksi according to these rules. We need 115/3 = 38si of cylinder which yields a 7in cylinder. Standards are 5,6 and 8. An 8" bore is 3x the price of a 6" bore. ChiefWHP makes a cylinder with a clean shaft - 2.25" exposed [http://baileynet.com/index.php?dnfwd=1&page=ProductDetails&line=WHP&baileyno=216-420]. The load on this one is 113 kips. Dan Powell also said their calculations typically have 100% safety. Because of this I think the 6" bore will do the trick. | |||

Basics
- Recommended pressing force depends on brick area
- Recommended force is ______________ for 2", 4", 6" thick brick
- AECT says -
- Powell and Sons says -
pi r squared for the cylinder pressure at 3000 psi yields
3.14 * 2.5^2 * 3000 = 58875 lb
According to Powell and Sons, we need 1200 psi on the brick to press 4" tall bricks - 8x12 bricks
or 1200*12*8 = 115,000 lb
Former work - we made 6x12 bricks - or 86,000 lb
115kips required from cylinder. Cylinder provides 3ksi according to these rules. We need 115/3 = 38si of cylinder which yields a 7in cylinder. Standards are 5,6 and 8. An 8" bore is 3x the price of a 6" bore. ChiefWHP makes a cylinder with a clean shaft - 2.25" exposed [1]. The load on this one is 113 kips. Dan Powell also said their calculations typically have 100% safety. Because of this I think the 6" bore will do the trick.
