Jun 15, 2015 at 13:43 comment added Carlton 0.3 m^2 sounds like a very large area for a BOP piston. Unless you're using this on a pipe about 80cm diameter, I would re-check this number.

Another tag is a good idea, but hydraulics is far more appropriate than fluid-dynamics.

The question is related hydraulic fluid the fluid-dynamics might be a good tag

Mar 6, 2015 at 12:03 comment added Blue7 @ratchetfreak. Okay this is starting to make sense now. The load piston end only needs to move a small amount to be able to close the packing unit. From my calculations the force on the piston will be around 3 Mega Newtons. This sounds ridiculous to me, but it is feasible because the load piston isn't moving much (hence smaller work done) but the compressor piston is moving more?
Mar 6, 2015 at 11:48 comment added ratchet freak The key is that the distance traveled by the compressor piston is larger than the distance traveled by the load piston end (remember that work is distance*force)
Mar 6, 2015 at 11:43 comment added Blue7 @ratchetfreak so the compressor uses a smaller area to generate the needed pressure, and the piston uses a larger area to increase the force? I somehow feel like conservation of energy isn't being held. if the area of the pisiton is 0.3m^2, and the pressure is 1500 PSI, this gives a force around 3MN. I find it hard to believe that this pump can provide 3MN. Can you please explain?
Mar 6, 2015 at 11:19 comment added ratchet freak pressure over large area can easily give huge forces, The hydraulic compressor will use a much smaller area to generate the needed pressure with smaller needed force
