K.3 Force Due to Pressure
K.3 Force Due to Pressure
Pressure thrust is calculated from positive pressure and mean diameter. Negative/vacuum pressure is used for tie-bar compression.
K.3 Results
No K.3 force result yet.

K.4 Tie-bars — Tension & Compression
K.4 Tie-bars
Tie-bar tension uses positive pressure. Tie-bar compression uses negative/vacuum pressure when applicable.
Default 0.5. Use project-specific value if known.
Length between bearing sphere/pin centres.
K.4 Results
Calculate K.3 first. K.4 uses F1 tension and optional F1 compression from K.3.
