Where does the applied pressure and the diameter of the piston go?
Applied Pressure Enter the reading in any units for the applied pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. Piston / Cylinder Bore Diameter Enter the diameter of the cylinder bore or the piston, and for better precision use the average of the two if possible. Generated Force
What to do before inserting a piston in a cylinder?
Clean the sealing area of the engine block thoroughly of fragments of gaskets if it was not reworked during the reconditioning. Clean all tapped holes carefully from dirt, oil and coolant agent which may still be there. Carry out all cleaning work before installing the pistons in the cylinder.
How is the force generated by a piston calculated?
Piston / Cylinder Bore Diameter Enter the diameter of the cylinder bore or the piston, and for better precision use the average of the two if possible. Generated Force This is the force generated by a piston/cylinder of a specified diameter and applied pressure, and can be displayed in a choice of different force measurement units. Applications
When is there no pressure on the piston?
During transition between exhaust and intake strokes when one or both valves are open, there will be no pressure. During approach to (TDC) between compression and power strokes when both valves are closed; there will be pressure that will push your thumb off of the hose to allow air to escape.
Where do you enter the diameter of a piston?
Enter the reading in any units for the applied pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. Piston / Cylinder Bore Diameter Enter the diameter of the cylinder bore or the piston, and for better precision use the average of the two if possible. Generated Force
Where is the No.1 piston on the compression stroke?
Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, “Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston”. Injector height gauge (4) is used in order to obtain a dimension of 78.0 ± 0.2 mm (3.07 ± 0.01 inch).
During transition between exhaust and intake strokes when one or both valves are open, there will be no pressure. During approach to (TDC) between compression and power strokes when both valves are closed; there will be pressure that will push your thumb off of the hose to allow air to escape.
Where is the number one cylinder on an inline engine?
On an inline engine, the number one cylinder is located at the front of the engine, closest to the timing cover. Most old school mechanics would just use the finger method. Place one finger over over the end of the hose, then rotate the crankshaft (clockwise is best but not essential).
