How to Calculate and Solve for Piston Displacement | Irrigation Water Requirement

The image above represents piston displacement. Two essential parameters are needed to calculate piston displacement: the area of the piston (A) and the length of the piston (L).

The formula for calculating piston displacement:

PD = AL

Where:

PD = Piston Displacement
A = Area of Piston
L = Length of Piston

Let’s solve an example;
Find the piston displacement when the area of piston is 21 and the length of piston is 3.

This implies that;

A = Area of Piston = 21
L = Length of Piston = 3

PD = AL
That is, PD = 21(3)
PD = 63

Therefore, the piston displacement is 63.

Calculating the Area of Piston when the Piston Displacement and the Length of Piston are Given

A = PD / L

Where;

A = Area of Piston
PD = Piston Displacement
L = Length of Piston

Let’s solve an example;
Find the area of piston when the piston displacement is 35 and the length of piston is 7.

This implies that;

PD = Piston Displacement = 35
L = Length of Piston = 7

A = PD / L
So, A = 35 / 7
A = 5

Therefore, the area of piston is 5.

Calculating the Length of Piston when the Piston Displacement and the Area of Piston are Given

L = PD / A

Where;

L = Length of Piston
PD = Piston Displacement
A = Area of Piston

Let’s solve an example;
Find the length of piston when the piston displacement is 50 and the area of piston is 5.

This implies that;

PD = Piston Displacement = 50
A = Area of Piston = 5

L = PD / A
Then, L = 50 / 5
L = 10

Therefore, the length of piston is 10.
