Piston Speed Calculator Guide

This calculator helps you determine the average speed of a piston within an engine based on the stroke length and engine RPM (revolutions per minute).

Piston speed helps monitor engine performance and longevity.

How to Use:

  1. Enter the Piston Stroke:
    • Label: PISTON STROKE
    • Input Box: Enter the stroke length of the piston. This is the distance the piston travels up and down within the cylinder.
    • Unit Selection: Choose the unit of measurement from the dropdown (cm or mm). The calculator will automatically convert this to meters for calculation purposes.
  2. Enter the RPM:
    • Label: RPM (revolutions per minute)
    • Input Box: Enter the engine speed in RPM. This indicates how many times the engine completes a full rotation per minute.
  3. View the Result:
    • Label: AVG PISTON SPEED
    • Output Box: The average piston speed will be displayed in meters per second (meters/s). This is calculated based on the entered stroke length and RPM.
  4. Clear the Calculator:
    • Button: Clear
    • Click this button to reset all fields to their original state. This allows you to start a new calculation without manually clearing each input.

Notes:

  • Ensure all inputs are positive numbers for accurate results.
  • The stroke length is automatically converted from cm or mm to meters.
  • The piston speed is calculated and displayed in meters per second (meters/s).

Example Calculation:

  • If you enter a piston stroke of 10 cm and an RPM of 3000, the calculator will convert 10 cm to 0.1 meters and compute the piston speed accordingly.
