How to Calculate and Solve for Compression Ratio | Irrigation Water Requirement
Last Updated on April 21, 2024
The image above represents compression ratio. To calculate compression ratio, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Total Cylinder Volume (V1) and Clearance Volume (V2).
The formula for calculating compression ratio:
CR = V1 / V2
Where:
CR = Compression Ratio
V1 = Total Cylinder Volume
V2 = Clearance Volume
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the total cylinder volume is 77 and the clearance volume is 11, find the Compression ratio.
This implies that;
V1 = Total Cylinder Volume = 77
V2 = Clearance Volume = 11
CR = V1 / V2
Si, CR = 77 / 11
CR = 7
Therefore, the compression ratio is 7.
Calculating for the Total Cylinder Volume when the Compression Ratio and the Clearance Volume are Given
V1 = CR x V2
Where;
V1 = Total Cylinder Volume
CR = Compression Ratio
V2 = Clearance Volume
Let’s solve an example;
Find the total cylinder volume when the compression ratio is 10 and the clearance volume is 4.
This implies that;
CR = Compression Ratio = 10
V2 = Clearance Volume = 4
V1 = CR x V2
So, V1 = 10 x 4
V1 = 40
Therefore, the total cylinder volume is 40

Calculating for the Clearance Volume when the Compression Ratio and the Total Cylinder Volume are Given
V2 = V1 / CR
Where;
V2 = Clearance Volume
CR = Compression Ratio
V1 = Total Cylinder Volume
Let’s solve an example;
Find the clearance volume when the compression ratio is 36, and the total cylinder volume is 9.
This implies that;
CR = Compression Ratio = 9
V1 = Total Cylinder Volume = 36
V2 = V1 / CR
That is, V2 = 36 / 9
V2 = 4
Therefore, the clearance volume is 4.
