To work out the swept volume you need to know the diameter of the bore and the length of the stroke. For example; a bore has a diameter of 6 cm and the stroke is 10 cm, the swept volume is calculated using the following formula: Pi x radius x radius x stroke (the formula is expressed as: Πr² x stroke).

How do you calculate swept volume?

Swept Volume = pi*(bore/2)^2*stroke.

What is the swept volume?

Definition. Swept volume is the displacement of one cylinder. It is the volume between top dead center (TDC) and bottom dead center (BDC). As the piston travels from top to bottom, it "sweeps" its total volume. This measurement can be listed in cubic inches or cubic centimeters.
