Note: For hose I.D.'s from 1-1/4" to 12" the force in pounds is greater than the PSI.
- Force is the dynamic power which is exported longitudinally through a hose, towards the ends. To arrive at the number of
pounds of force exerted, you merely multiply the area of the I.D. times the working pressure being used. - Area of a circle:
![Force Chart - PI [3.1416] times radius squared](../images/technical-reference/pi.jpg)
x r2 (PI [3.1416] times radius squared) - Force = Area x Pressure
