  available on the App Store, featuring over 1,000 formulas across 13
  specialized calculator categories, 8 temperature scale converters, and 8
  professional reference tables.

  CALCULATOR CATEGORIES
  - Actuator Formulas — cylinder force, stroke, speed, and rod calculations
  - Fluid Power — pressure, flow, horsepower, and torque calculations
  - Pump Laws — affinity laws for speed, flow, pressure, and power
  - Vehicle Drive — drive speed, tractive effort, gradeability, and drawbar pull
  - Hydraulic Tubing — wall thickness, burst pressure, and working pressure
  - Cylinder Calculations — extend/retract speed, rod end area, and cycle times
  - Thermal Hydraulics — heat generation, reservoir cooling, heat exchangers,
  and energy to heat fluid
  - Oil Velocity & Pressure Loss — pipe velocity, pressure drop per foot, and
  total system losses
  - Pipe Flow — Reynolds number, Darcy-Weisbach head loss, laminar friction, and
   orifice flow
  - Accumulator Sizing — discharge volume, precharge pressure, adiabatic and
  isothermal gas volumes
  - Reservoir Sizing — open/closed circuit sizing, cylinder-based sizing, and
  oil weight calculations
  - AC/DC Electrical — Ohm's law, power, resistance, inductance, and motor
  selection
  - Area Formulas — 60 geometric area calculations for every common shape

  700+ CONVERSION FORMULAS
  Pressure, horsepower, BTU, flow rates, linear measure, square measure, cubic
  measure, liquid measure, weights, watts, power, HVAC, metric, sand-to-volume,
  and fraction conversions.

### 1/5 — Hydraulic

*2013-02-20*

This app contains individual formulas for very basic functions.  Units are not clearly defined for each calculation.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2012-08-30*

Not worth the money in Australia. Everything has to be imperial, there are no settings for metric.

### 3/5 — OK so far

*2012-08-15*

Has some useful calculations, would be nice if there were some accumulator calculations.

### 4/5 — Excellent calculator (v1.5)

*2012-02-08*

I use nearly everyday.  Pretty good variety of calculations available.  This newer version is more user friendly than the earlier versions.  Still not perfect but it's a big improvement.  Big timesaver for me.

### 5/5 — Works good for me.

*2011-10-13*

Great for sending a quick calculation for a client. Pneumatic engineer in the future?

### 1/5 — Hyd eng

*2011-08-03*

Nothing more than a cumbersome calculator.

### 1/5 — Good idea. No metric support :(

*2011-03-22*

App would be great if it had unit selection. Not useful at all for half of the world... Please update it. Will re-rate if metric units are added, but for now, a total waste of money!!!

### 3/5 — Review

*2011-01-27*

Nice little program, but would be helpful to use metric units as well.
