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 (Force = Area x Pressure).

Note: For hose I.D.’s from 1-1/4” to 12” the force in pounds is greater than the PSI.
