TONNAGE CALCULATION

Use the guidelines below to calculate the needed tonnage for your stamping proect!
General "ormula for #ress Tonnage $e%uired
&etermine the appro'imate press tonnage needed to stamp a part based on linear
inches of cut!
"or (teel) Material Thickness X Inches of Cut x 50,000 = Press Tonnage
Example:

be it portions or the entire circumference of a circle= the sum of a s%uare=
rectangle= or triangle= or the entire total circumference of a number of holes
multiplied by the material thic.ness= multiplied by the shearing strength of
material! "or answer in tons= the shearing strength must be con>erted from
