what is the calculating method to arrive at the tonnage required to punch a hole of size 20 mm dia in a hydraulic press? will it be different for a mechanical press? similarly hpw to calculate the capacity of a press for regular punching jobs?

Shear strength of material ÷ (perimeter of hole × thickness of material), using consistent units.

Pardon me .. i was under the impression that it is

Force = Shear Strength X perimeter X thickness ?

Thanks for correcting me. I don't know how I made that slip.

Look at the time you posted it, maybe that had something to do with it.

It's Vader.

He got me with a Jedi Mind trick the other day (he tricked me into saying gasoline sells for $1.55/gallon)... he seems to be on a spree.

I think you make his recent victim count ten, perhaps eleven.

For a hydraulic press, the force exerted is internal cross-sectional area of cylinder(s) × pressure of hydraulic fluid. For a mechanical press, you have to analyze levers and forces, and inertial effects of parts tha move and stop quickly. That depends on lots of detail.

Your query seems to have been adequately answered, still ... here is a link to help (as long as you can convert mm to inches)

Don't forget the tolerances for the clearance between the punch and die
