How to Calculate and Solve for Piston Displacement | Irrigation Water Requirement
Last Updated on April 20, 2024
The image above represents piston displacement. Two essential parameters are needed to calculate piston displacement: the area of the piston (A) and the length of the piston (L).
The formula for calculating piston displacement:
PD = AL
Where:
PD = Piston Displacement
A = Area of Piston
L = Length of Piston
Let’s solve an example;
Find the piston displacement when the area of piston is 21 and the length of piston is 3.
This implies that;
A = Area of Piston = 21
L = Length of Piston = 3
PD = AL
That is, PD = 21(3)
PD = 63
Therefore, the piston displacement is 63.
Calculating the Area of Piston when the Piston Displacement and the Length of Piston are Given
A = PD / L
Where;
A = Area of Piston
PD = Piston Displacement
L = Length of Piston
Let’s solve an example;
Find the area of piston when the piston displacement is 35 and the length of piston is 7.
This implies that;
PD = Piston Displacement = 35
L = Length of Piston = 7
A = PD / L
So, A = 35 / 7
A = 5
Therefore, the area of piston is 5.

Calculating the Length of Piston when the Piston Displacement and the Area of Piston are Given
L = PD / A
Where;
L = Length of Piston
PD = Piston Displacement
A = Area of Piston
Let’s solve an example;
Find the length of piston when the piston displacement is 50 and the area of piston is 5.
This implies that;
PD = Piston Displacement = 50
A = Area of Piston = 5
L = PD / A
Then, L = 50 / 5
L = 10
Therefore, the length of piston is 10.
