Tonnage Calculation Formula

The required press tonnage is calculated using:

Tonnage = (Shear Strength × Thickness × Cutting Length) / 2000 × Safety Factor

  • Shear Strength: Material property (PSI)
  • Thickness: Material thickness (inches)
  • Cutting Length: Perimeter of cut (inches)
  • 2000: Conversion factor (lbs to tons)
