Volume displacement of a hydraulic cylinder can be calculated as

q = A s / 231 (1)

where

q = cubic displacement (gal)

A = cylinder area (in2)

s = cylinder stroke (in)

1 in (inch) = 25.4 mm = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m = 0.08333 ft
1 in2 = 6.452 cm2 = 6.452x10-4 m2 = 6.944x10-3 ft2
1 gal (US) = 3.785x10-3 m3 = 3.785 dm3 (liter) = 0.13368 ft3
