Compression Ratio Calculator
Result
Compression Ratio Calculator The Compression Ratio Calculator finds an engine's compression ratio from the cylinder (swept) volume and the clearance (combustion chamber) volume. — free online calculator.
Formula
- Compression Ratio Calculator calculates its result from Swept Volume, Clearance Volume. It uses the formula Compression Ratio = (Swept Volume + Clearance Volume) ÷ Clearance Volume. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Swept Volume, Clearance Volume. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Compression Ratio
- Swept Volume: 500
- Clearance Volume: 50
Using Swept Volume = 500, Clearance Volume = 50, the calculated result is 11.
