Handy Field Formulas

Stroke is plunger or piston stroke in inches Velocity is in feet per second

Diameter is diameter of the plunger or Areas are in square inches
piston in inches Lift is in inches

stroke RPM plunger velocity plunger area

Average plunger velocity =
360 Average lift lift area
velocity =
stroke dia.2 RPM
plunger velocity plunger area
1440 valve size lift
valve port area
Average valve
port velocity =
Stroke RPM x dia.2 stroke dia.2 RPM
Lift =
458 valve port area 1440 valve size average lift velocity

Lift area = Valve size lift 3.14
