The formula for calculating piston speed. To calculate piston speed, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Piston Stroke (L) and Engine Revolution per Minute (N).
The formula for calculating piston speed:
Ps = 2LN
Where:
Ps = Piston Speed
L = Piston Stroke
N = Engine Revolution per Minute
Let’s solve an example;
Find the piston speed when the piston speed is 24 and the engine revolution per minute is 8.
This implies that;
L = Piston Stroke = 24
N = Engine Revolution per Minute = 8
Ps = 2LN
That is, Ps = 2(24)(8)
Ps = 384
Therefore, the piston speed is 384.

Let’s solve an example;
Find the piston stroke when the piston speed is 88 and the engine revolution per minute is 11.
This implies that;
Ps = Piston Speed = 88
N = Engine Revolution per Minute = 11
L = Ps / 2N
Then, L = 88 / 2 x 11
L = 88 / 22
L = 4
Therefore, the piston stroke is 4.
Calculating the Engine Revolution per Minute when the Piston Speed and the Piston Stroke are Given
N = Ps / 2L
Where;
N = Engine Revolution per Minute
Ps = Piston Speed
L = Piston Stroke
Let’s solve an example;
Find the engine revolution per minute when the piston speed is 60 and the piston stroke is 10.
This implies that;
Ps = Piston Speed = 60
L = Piston Stroke = 10
N = Ps / 2L
N = 60 / 2 x 10
So, N = 60 / 20
N = 3
Therefore, the engine revolution per minute is 3.
