The image above represents stroke bore ratio. To calculate stroke bore ratio, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Length of the Piston Stroke (L) and Diameter of the Cylinder (D).

The formula for calculating stroke bore ratio:

SBR = ^L / _D

Where:

SBR = Stroke Bore Ratio
L = Length of the Piston Stroke
D = Diameter of the Cylinder

Let’s solve an example;
Find the stroke bore ratio when the length of the piston stroke is 48 and the diameter of the cylinder is 4.

This implies that;

L = Length of the Piston Stroke = 48
D = Diameter of the Cylinder = 4

That is, SBR = ^L / _D
SBR = ⁴⁸ / ₄
SBR = 12

Therefore, the stroke bore ratio is 12.

Calculating the Length of the Piston Stroke when the Stroke Bore Ratio and the Diameter of the Cylinder are Given

L = SBR x D

Where;

L = Length of the Piston Stroke
SBR = Stroke Bore Ratio
D = Diameter of the Cylinder

Let’s solve an example;
Find the length of the piston stroke when the stroke bore ratio is 8 and the diameter of the cylinder is 4.

This implies that;

SBR = Stroke Bore Ratio= 8
D = Diameter of the Cylinder = 4

Then, L = SBR x D
L = 8 x 4
L = 32

Therefore, the length of the piston stroke is 32.

Calculating the Diameter of the Cylinder when the Stroke Bore Ratio and the Length of the Piston Stroke are Given

D = ^L / _SBR

Where;

SBR = Stroke Bore Ratio
L = Length of the Piston Stroke
D = Diameter of the Cylinder

Let’s solve an example;
Find the diameter of the cylinder when the stroke bore ratio is 12 and the length of the piston stroke is 60.

This implies that;

L = Length of the Piston Stroke = 12
D = Diameter of the Cylinder = 60

That is, D = ^L / _SBR
D = ⁶⁰ / ₁₂
D = 5

Therefore, the diameter of the cylinder is 5.
