Actual pull force is determined by multiplying the hydraulic pressure (KPSI) by the pressure area of the cylinder. Please note that different cylinders have different pressure area, so 1000 KPSI in a -10 cylinder will not give you the same pull force as 1000 KPSI on a -22 cylinder. Refer to Support Documents on the appropriate cylinder page for Cylinder Specifications.
