Swept Volume Calculator
Calculate engine displacement (swept volume) from bore, stroke, and cylinder count. Understand engine specifications and how they affect performance.
Step 1: Engine Specifications
Understanding Swept Volume
Swept volume (engine displacement) is the volume displaced by all the pistons in an engine during one complete cycle. It’s calculated using the bore (cylinder diameter), stroke (distance piston travels), and number of cylinders.
Step 2: Calculation Options
About Engine Displacement
Engine displacement is a key factor in determining engine power and torque. Larger displacement engines typically produce more power but are less fuel-efficient. Common displacements range from 1.0L (1000cc) for small cars to 6.0L+ (6000cc+) for performance vehicles.

Volume Calculation Breakdown
Swept Volume Formula
Displacement = π/4 × Bore² × Stroke × Number of Cylinders
To calculate engine displacement, multiply the area of the cylinder (π/4 × bore²) by the stroke length and the number of cylinders. For example: π/4 × 86² × 86 × 4 = 1998.4 cc.
