There are several ways.You can:Use a long feeler gauge and see if the piston has clearance in excess of the size, usually you use several in succession to determine clearance to + or - .001 inch or .01 MMUse a Micrometer and bore gauge that have been properly calibrated.There are other ways but those are the most common.
.0012" to .0019" or .03mm to .05mm
The clearance between the piston and cylinder is maintained by the piston rings, the ring centers the piston within the cylinder bore and is the device that seals the cylinder bore and creates and maintains the pressure created by the piston movement in the bore. When assembling an engine you will need to check and set end gap of the rings, this is done by centering the new ring in the bore and measuring the gap between the ring ends, you can measure this distance with feeler gauges and adjust by filing the ends of the rings to increase to the recommended tolerance, this tolerance is measured in .000 of an inch and different engines require different end gaps. This end gap is determined by the diameter of the bore with the greater the bore diameter than the greater the end gap,.
what is the piston displacement of a compressor with 2" bore and 3" strokes
The way the question is phrased the answer is zero. But I suspect that you mean ring gap, and rule of thumb is .002 inches per inch of bore.
bore is the diameter of the piston and stroke is the length the piston moves in the cylinder.for example if bore x stroke is 1x3 then 1 is the diameter of the piston and 3 is the length of the cylinder.if bore is greater than stroke then it is a short stroke engine.
The Bore of an engine is the tube that the piston goes up and down in.
Bore is the diameter of the piston/cylinder, stroke is the distance the piston can travel between its highest position and its lowest position in the cylinder.
Yes, You can. But you have to bore the Engine Bore bigger to match the piston. The Guage can be located at any Autoparts store.
Diameter of the piston head.
there are two ways to increase the piston displacement. either increase the bore or increase the length of the stroke. each method has its drawbacks. if you increase the bore too much then heat dissipation is affected and piston will not be cooled properly as the piston cools down by transmitting the heat to cylinder walls. on the other hand if we increase the length too much then the connecting rod will undergo excessive dynamic stresses and angularity issues. hence it is wise to have an equal bore and stroke which is a square engine
The bore refers to the Inside diameter of the cylinder. The Piston will be nearly the same diameter, with the piston rings making up the difference. Convert the bore to area by multiplying by pi and dividing by four, and multiply by the stroke and the number of cylinders and you have the volume displacement of the engine.
