How to Calculate and Solve for Plastic Pressure | Polymer & Textile
Last Updated on March 12, 2024
The image above represents plastic pressure. To calculate plastic pressure, two essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are hydraulic pressure (PH) and intensification ratio (Ir).
The formula for calculating plastic pressure:
Pp = PH x Ir
Where;
Pp = Plastic Pressure
PH = Hydraulic Pressure
Ir = Intensification Ratio
Let’s solve an example;
Find the plastic pressure when the hydraulic pressure is 20 and the intensification ratio is 44.
This implies that;
PH = Hydraulic Pressure = 20
Ir = Intensification Ratio = 44
Pp = PH x Ir
So, Pp = 20 x 44
Pp = 880
Therefore, the plastic pressure is 880.
Calculating the Hydraulic Pressure when the Plastic Pressure and the Intensification Ratio are Given
PH = Pp / Ir
Where;
PH = Hydraulic Pressure
Pp = Plastic Pressure
Ir = Intensification Ratio
Let’s solve an example;
Find the hydraulic pressure when the plastic pressure is 24 and the intensification ratio is 10.
This implies that;
Pp = Plastic Pressure = 24
Ir = Intensification Ratio = 10
Then, PH = Pp / Ir
PH = 24 / 10
PH = 2.4
Therefore, the hydraulic pressure is 2.4.

Calculating the Intensification Ratio when the Plastic Pressure and the Hydraulic Pressure are Given
Ir = Pp / PH
Where;
Ir = Intensification Ratio
Pp = Plastic Pressure
PH = Hydraulic Pressure
Let’s solve an example;
Find the intensification ratio when the plastic pressure is 30 and the hydraulic pressure is 15.
This implies that;
Pp = Plastic Pressure = 30
PH = Hydraulic Pressure = 15
Hence, Ir = Pp / PH
Ir = 30 / 15
Ir = 2
Therefore, the intensification ratio is 2.
