Use the Multi-Cylinder Air Consumption Calculator to sum air demand for multiple cylinders and cycle rates. The calculator uses Bore diameter, Rod diameter, Stroke, Working pressure and Cycles per minute and reports total average free-air demand; per-cylinder breakdown.
Read the result in the context of the selected units and pressure basis. For this tool, the primary outputs are total average free-air demand; per-cylinder breakdown. Change one input at a time when comparing scenarios so the effect of each variable remains clear.
PneumaForge applies this verified method: Sum of individual swept-volume free-air demand. The functional engine is shared with related tools in the circuit-demand family, while this page solves the specific intent represented by multi cylinder air consumption calculator.
Sum of individual swept-volume free-air demandReproducible example: start with the calculator's default values (Bore diameter = 100; Rod diameter = 40; Stroke = 500; Working pressure = 6) and calculate the result. Then change the variable most relevant to your application and compare the new total average free-air demand; per-cylinder breakdown against the baseline.
Duty/simultaneity/reserve are explicit assumptions; no hidden diversity factor.
It is designed to sum air demand for multiple cylinders and cycle rates. The reported outputs are total average free-air demand; per-cylinder breakdown.
The calculator uses Bore diameter, Rod diameter, Stroke, Working pressure and Cycles per minute. Only use values that represent the same operating condition or design case.
The calculation follows: Sum of individual swept-volume free-air demand. The page also states the assumptions that define where the method is valid.
Duty/simultaneity/reserve are explicit assumptions; no hidden diversity factor.
Yes. PneumaForge converts supported units through canonical engineering units. For compressed-air reference flows and pressure bases, the reference pressure and temperature must also remain consistent.
